HI Ewan
I note you article re the bbc books but when I try to download the books i.e. Well Mannered war it gives you a page you can download but not in mobi reader format. Is it just this book that cannot be downloaded in this manner or do I ned to do something else first.
Regards

Settle Down With A Good Book
Yes there may be a lot of video news, but you can't beat a good book, or some classy British Sci-Fi. So thank the makers that the BBC have brought the two together for the 21st Century. A number of the BBC Novels of Doctor Who are now available to read online or download as eBooks (Mobireader compatible). New fans should start with The Well Mannered War , while Lungbarrow resolves the Cartmell Masterplan. Which means something to a few people...
