Here we go again.

I don't think we'll ever be free of this....so frustrating

At least they didn't change books again. Except for the mindless, pointless 'Original Language' one they snuck in without notice a week or so ago.

[pnc75]

Yeah, saw that. How the hell are you supposed to know without wasting time researching? 

[davewil1964]

I work on the assumption that they are all English, except for Christian Jacq. Like country of publication - unless they are Australian authors, that is 'Unknown'.

It's still not tricky and glitchy enough. Surely eBay can do more.

I insist on eBay adding "Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics" as the default language option for books, and "various unknown Egyptian priests" as the default author. There's also no reason why the default format can't be audiobooks; simply because the pronunciation is largely speculative/unknown is no reason not to provide the public with the in-demand audio version of 𓂋𓏤𓈒 𓏌𓏤 𓉐𓂋 𓏏𓂻 𓅓 𓉔𓂋 𓅱 𓇳𓏤 , narrated by, say, Alex Jennings.

Who's with me on this?

[davewil1964]

I see you've heard of Monsieur Jacq.

[countessalmirena]

I may have perused a book or two or three or…

I appreciate his use of Simbels.

[davewil1964]

Tout a fait.

Especially the Abu ones.
