Thank you so much for programming the bot, Surrealix!
Are you intending to do a challenge with Esperanto? I'd like to buy some Esperanto books or ebooks for you. Contact me in private. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you're not sure yet where to find large amounts of foreign books and you're in Europe, may I
suggest coming to Berlin? I know a large used bookstore with many books in many foreign languages (including a crate full of Vietnamese novels) and each book is only 1 €. If you find a cheap flight (AirBerlin, Easyjet, Ryanair...), fly in, stay a night on my couch, buy several dozen books at 1 € each and fly out, you might even be saving money. One forum member visited and left with 60+ Russian math & science books... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Have you seen any Croatian books, or the Assimil Indonesian book? I guess it probably still wouldn't be cost effective, coming from the Midwest of the US. :D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Surrealix, this might be a big ask, but I was wondering if the bot could do something with books of less than 100 pages? I was thinking it could count them as part books, e.g. a 60 page book is 60%. This would be convenient for those who are reading articles, short books, and so on. However, if people object to this, or if it is just to complicated to programme, we can simply wait until we have gotten up to 100 pages with our various articles, etc, and then submit it as one book.
Thanks for all of your hard work! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Could you tell where the store is or what the name of it is? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks from me too for doing the bot Surrealix! I was going to invite you to stay for a week end with my family here in Oslo, but since I see that you live in New Zeeland that may be a tad impractical:-) Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!

Katze, it's called Cafė Tasso, near Frankfurter Tor. Also note my thread on Berlin bookstores in the relevant
subforum. Kerrie, they do have Croatian novels, but few language courses (guess they get snatched up too fast). I have bought old Assimil books from another used bookstore specializing in foreign languages, on Ackerstraße. You're unlikely to save money, coming from the US, but if you were planning a vacation in Berlin anyway... 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Surrealix, I hate to bring up another problem. But I submitted a 110 page book as a test. It registered the pages, but didn't register the book. Any book from 100-500 pages should be a book. If I read a 110 page book, do I have to submit it as a 250 page book?
