Can someone help me decode something regarding books? Please check this URL:

https://www.amazon.com/Dune-Frank-Herbert-ebook/dp/B00B7NPRY8/

It says 892 pages in print* and it contains three books within:

  • dune
  • muad'dib
  • the prophet

Specifically I am asking about the version: Is this an abridged version or not? 892 pages seems a very low pint number for three , but everyone is saying that abridged books have that "feature" clearly marked.

I want to read original work of Frank Herbert, but in eBook format.

@darth In my copy of Dune, it also mentions these three books in the table of contents. But it is the complete book. It follows the stories you see in both films. I understand that the second book: Dune Messiah will also be turned into a movie.

@ericdere@mastodon.nl avatar

@darth Correct. My copy (in Dutch) has a total of 566 pages, comparable to the hardcover on Amazon. Chapter ‘Dune’ runs from page 9 to page 216, chapter ‘Muad’Dib’ from page 217 to page 386 an chapter ‘The Prophet’ from page 387 to 518. Then there are four appendices: Dune’s ecology, Dune’s religion, a report on the motives and goals of the Bene Geserit and a anthology of the great houses. On page 544 there is a glossary and finally on page 564 a map of Arrakis.

My husband and I don’t fight very often, but one thing we do fight about is how he calls aluminum foil "tin foil" and he's like "IT'S THE SAME THING!" and I’m like "bruh, they are completely different metals, so please go consult the periodic table I've hung above our bed."

Just giving the new front-end for a go. I must say, I really like its clean and minimal user interface. Plus, it works smoothly on both desktop and mobile browsers!

Have a look at these screenshots. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

@atomicpoet wow. Mastodon could also use a new frontend like that.
