    Will add you to the list. Haven't updated it yet.

    KB, feel free to come up with milestone checkpoints if you want. Or we can use that link you posted.

    I wondered how that might work with the endnotes in this book. I've never used and e-reader, so not sure how easy it is to navigate or bookmark the endnotes which are said to be a critical component of the book. How easy is the back and forth electronically?

    I probably don't use the bookmark functions correctly, but in this case it would have to more complicated than a real book, just based on the number of times you would need to do it. The 50 shades trilogy were perfect for an e-reader, this one, I'm not so sure

    Alright y'all, the check-in points are as follows:

    Page:
    1) 52
    2) 105
    3) 158
    4) 210
    5) 295
    6) 400
    7) 516
    8) 643
    9) 812
    10) Finished

    The first four are pretty frequent, and the last three are spaced apart pretty good. This was intentional. I figure once you get pretty far into it you're less likely to quit, and the whole idea here is to finish the book, yes?

    Let's do this.

    How many pages are in the hard copy so I can break that down by percentage for the ebook crowd

    With your (manufactured) reputation, even the most innocuous posts present opportunity for the unseemly (intentional or not).

    I don't think that's a problem as I believe not everyone has started reading at this point; I know Indy said it would be next week before he can begin. I think KB's check-in schedule is great, and if we're using infinitesummer as a guide is it safe to assume we're targeting 3 months for completion? Maybe the official begin date is sometime next week and we schedule out from there.

    I started it last night. Almost finished with the first two days of reading. So far so good.
