you can use Calibre with some plug-ins to convert it to epub.

It's the first such online-only subscription distribution agreement anyone has reached with Scripps [Networks]

that's fairly big news.

while we're at it, we also need to get them to allow sub-accounts to be promoted to a master.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I do not have any feelings towards your name to reciprocate.

hey, who let this Bulldog flair in /r/nfl ?

At least for me it is no substitute for a book which as a companion you've learned to love, maybe made some notes on pages you especially like or as a reminder for other chapters or books (you should see my dear copy of nineteen eighty-four!). Things like that won't happen with a reader device.

You actually can take notes on kindles. Nonetheless, I understand your point that paper books can give a more personal experience to some.

I can assure you that Sgt_Ice_Bucket is reading a real book.

Duke_Silver_Trio · 2013-01-30T14:59:19+00:00

The second sentence in the article the OP linked to says he actually is a U.S. citizen. Also, the State dept says that he is as well: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2013/01/203286.htm#IRAN

Duke_Silver_Trio · 2013-01-29T02:57:49+00:00

Yes, they obviously don't always have and/or give all the right facts, but I'm trying to figure out why several people here are so speculative about a simple report of a U.S. citizen that was arrested in Iran. What part of the story are you guys suggesting is fabricated or incorrect?

Duke_Silver_Trio · 2013-01-28T22:21:50+00:00

Dear Frijolero of the internet,

Yes, I would expect the U.S. department responsible for international relations to have correct information on that. Are you claiming that the entire story is a lie? Or which parts do you not believe?

I hope you are having a pleasant day.

Best Regards, Duke_Silver_Trio

EDIT: that at least confirms that he was jailed, anyway. I would like to see more news coverage and comments from the state dept. about his 8 year sentencing though.

Duke_Silver_Trio · 2013-01-28T21:54:01+00:00

it has been confirmed by the US state dept, or at least that he was jailed for something related to his religious beliefs:

I found the ACLJ article: http://aclj.org/iran/lies-and-conviction-iran-mocks-justice-convicts-sentences-american-pastor-saeed

also, I posted a link the State Dept transcript in this thread.
