Anyone read the Ender's Game series?

There a couple boxed sets.

It looks like those smaller stories might only be available online.  Is that true?  You have to sign up and pay $15 for access to them?

I have never heard of them which is weird ecause I pride myself of the vast collection of books I have read.

I'm...intrigued.

Click on 'show' on the chart on the right side to see the list of books, roughly in chronological order.


I wouldn't mind reading some of the extra short stories.  I don't really want to subscribe to this guy's website though.  I'm wondering if I could subscribe for a month and download all the stories I could, maybe print them to pdfs.  I'm not liking that business model -- Don't buy a product.  Just lease access to the product.

I was looking for a physical book.  It looks like there are a handful after the two boxed sets. For the short stories, that website has them and I think I could turn them into pdfs or copy and paste the text.  $15 for one month.  In and out and done.
