I know you can find unofficially translated light novels on the web and convert them to be used on an ereader but does anyone know of any officially released ones?

The only thing I've seen would be the releases by Haikasoru (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=Haikasoru&x=0&y=0).

Thanks!

I know of some Lunar side-story light novels being released on the Kindle:

I don't know much else myself, since I only read DRM-free ebooks, and I can't imagine many Japanese companies (except for small independent ones) agreeing to DRM-free digital downloads of anything.

I actually read a lot of fanfiction on my eReader, because a lot of good fanfic based on anime/manga properties has a strong light novel feel.

Thanks for the link. I had no idea about the Lunar novel being translated for us. Too bad about the review although it sounds more like a bad translation than a bad story.

I'm thinking your right on the DRM issue. I'm hoping with Haikasoru releasing ebooks that others will follow but probably wishful thinking.

I'd be interesting in hearing about some of the good fanfiction. I don't read much fanfiction as it's not always good so any suggestions would be great even though it may a series I haven't heard of as that's a good way to learn about it.

Thanks!

I wonder why the Haikasoru ebooks selection there doesn't include Rocket Girls / Rocket Girls: The Lost Planet?

Yeah, the real problem with fanfiction (and participatory culture on the Internet, in general) is the difficulty of sifting through all the chaff to find the wheat. I wish the large fanfic archives had rating systems. I actually plan to make a a site that indexes fanfic archives and lets people rate stories, allowing people to find stories based on a consensus of quality. I'm still learning PHP and MySQL via smaller projects right now, though.

Another similar tool that someone else has made is this Fanfiction Recommendation Engine: http://fanfictionrecs.net/favs_test.php. Although with that, you need a starting place to begin with.
