I googled it, and didnt have much joy. I know you can convert the aozora bunko files for kindle, but thats not really what I'm after ..

chillimuffin Wrote:I had a dream in which my whole imaginary collection of Japanese light novels (or ranobe) disappeared due to a very sudden and realistic hard drive crash. I remember feeling particularly depressed because of losing 「ＮＨＫにようこそ」、「きののたび」and「狼と香辛料」(but of course in my dream many more titles were gone and that made me feel really sad). As it was a pretty nasty nightmare, I wonder if some good soul would help me chase it away and, say, share some pictures of cute, little Japanese kittens to make me feel better?

Aww, thanks Taishi, that's very sweet of you...

But that's not exactly what I had in mind. I might not have been specific enough, my apologies. What I was thinking about was, more like, Japanese kittens reading books, perhaps even, you know, in tiny reading glasses... If you had something of that sort, that would be perfect.

Bokusenou Wrote:You know, if you look for the Japanese "reviews" dropbox/depositfiles links on page 10, it might soothe you over your cute kitten withdrawal. XD

In fact, that's the first place I checked and all the marvellous reviews of great books did indeed make me feel much better But I haven't been able to find any ranobe reviews there and so I thought someone might be able to help me out.

Hmm, isn't sn.im weird looking? I wonder what would happen if one used the same alphanumeric code with some site like tinyurl.com...Don't you?
