We’re not done with the old George R.R. Martin book just yet, but we actually got a chance to see the guy in person, and met some of you folks too! And ate Mexican Food! We have no complaints about life now. Except for the series Alphas.

I don’t know if you talked about this before, but it always irks me that you’re using percentages when talking about how far along you are in an ebook. Perhaps you should solicit suggestions for a word that defines an ebook page in your forum. Here’s my suggestion:
Fage |fāj|
noun
a page in an ebook reader or ebook application of arbitrary size. I’m currently on fage 364 of 1,663 in The Wise Man’s Fear iBook. ORIGIN early 21st century: from English fake page.
Cheers,
uv.
