Jedi Knight Krazy Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I only read the Bionicle books from 2001-2005, and I get the feeling that I'm missing on out a lot of story from 2006-2010, which unfortunately is when it really started to get complicated. Lately I've been reading a lot more on my e-reader, so I was curious if I could get the books in a digital format, as that's usually less expensive than buying print.

Lewa Krom Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The actual books? They weren't officially released electronically. If you haven't read the serials, you can always copy them from BS01 into a Word Document, save it as a PDF and convert it to a more e-reader friendly file format with a program like calibre. They did release Journey's End in PDF format, though. If you want the more e-reader friendly version (epub, mobi, whatever you device requires), I can provide that for you.Let's Keep Bionicle Alive,Lewa Krom Quote Keep in mind that if Star Trek fans had, as a group, said, "No point in talking about this anymore, it's never going to come back," it never WOULD have come back. -- Greg Farshtey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Knight Krazy Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hmm, curses. I've read all of the stuff that's freely available (including the serials and Journey's End), it's just that the novels are a little bit harder to find, and honestly a bit expensive for how short they are. I guess I might be able to find them used somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taccer Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Some time ago I drafted a letter to Scholastic. It asked them what the chances of them being released in electronic format was and i that wasn't going to happen, whether we as a community could upload the texts. I emailed it to them and got a response asking me to send it to them in writing, however living in the UK the postage cost was prohibitive. I don't know whether someone accross the pond would care to try again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Knight Krazy Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 A company that needs a letter in writing is probably not going to publish e-books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny7092 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 It would be cool if the Bionicle books would go digital. Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toa kopaka4372 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 You could still order most of those books off of Amazon or something. If you buy them used from Amazon, you could get them for a good price.

Meiko Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'd love to see all the LEGO books in a digital format. I've especially wanted this in the Ninjago books, but doing it for Bionicle I predict would be very successful.

J46 Nui Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Back before they made the rules clearer, I actually had a Cuusoo project for this. I do own all of the paperbacks, and some of them are starting to fall apart.

Makuta of Time Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It would be so coll if it was digital. Then I can read the books that I don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toa kopaka4372 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) The publishers could still make money off the books, so they're unlikely to be available in digital any time soon (aside from Journey's End.)

Lyichir Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The publishers could still make money off the books, so they're unlikely to be available in digital any time soon (aside from Journey's End.)Could they really? I doubt the publishers have any stock left that hasn't already been sold to retailers. By selling them digitally for e-readers, Scholastic could potentially make more money off of them.
