Discover Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, the beloved comic fantasy universe that’s brimming with wit, wisdom, and wonder. Start where it all began in the seminal novel The Color of Magic, which follows the misadventures of the inept wizard Rincewind as he serves as tour guide to Twoflower, Discworld's first-ever sightseer. The hapless duo’s journeys continue in The Light Fantastic and Sourcery, where the scale of world-threatening hazards (and accompanying absurdities) increase exponentially. You’ll get over 35 Discworld novels in all, touching all corners of this whimsical realm and all manner of its denizens, and you’ll help Room to Read with your purchase!

Publishers region locking their digital content can swallow a bag of dicks.

Especially when it's not available in the country the author is from. That's pretty messed up.

Anyone know a good set of all the discworld ebooks where the footnotes actually work? This series is the only one I have to still read from a physical copy.

Why have I never heard of Ebooks being region locked before?

Almost makes you miss having to ride your bike to the library

publishing rights for digital books internationally is a giant shit show. This is as much a problem with the laws and treaties over copyright as it is the individual publishers sublicensing copyrights between jurisdictions.
