scifi

Hi there,

When I was once, but a child in Ukraine. My father introduced me to his favorite sci-fi series, the Dune series. I read them as a kid in a translated version (russian langauge), when I was just 10 years old. And then read them again throughout the years. Then when I moved to the U.S. 7 years later, I didn't bring the books with me, because well, they take up a lot of space in the baggage. Since then those books have been lost to time unfortunately by my family. Since the movie came out, I wanted to re-read them again but this time in the original language.

So I ordered the 3 new books on Amazon and began reading. To my surprise, they were missing entire paragraphs and pages of backstories, narrations, and other things. It felt like I was reading an incomplete story. Since then, I have been hesitant to order more books, and want to make sure that the version I order is unabridged.

I also would love to have them unabridged in e-book format, but the kindle version is also the same abridged version that you buy in paperback. I found that one out the hard way, by buying it again on kindle haha.

All advice on where to find unabridged versions would be very helpful! Thank you! Again, I'd love to have them in e-book format since I live in a small apartment and don't really have room for books, but for Dune if an unabridged version doesn't exist in e-book format, I would still like to buy it as a proper book. I sent the abridged versions back to amazon.
