... but I do most of my reading on a Kindle Touch. It's always charged, as it can run for six weeks between charges and there are just less distractions -- plus it's so much easier to read when outside.

I have the Ultimate Edition of Origins -- I got it from Steam. (I really like Steam -- you can use it offline and I never have any problems with playing the games I've bought). However -- DA:O is awful: often the log in lags behind the DLC loading, so it doesn't work first time, so you have to do it again. Very irritating. Also, it clearly means that when EA eventually, inevitably take the authentication servers down, I will lose my DLC and associated saves.

You just have to head over to the Neverwinter Nights forums (now closed) to see what happens in these cases -- all of the Premium Modules for Neverwinter Nights called home when they were launched, and now no-one can play them because Atari took the servers down. Since they took them down without patching the modules so they could still be played, they knew what they were doing and did it cynically.

... they have nothing for me to read.
