Tired of discussing the Bunnymen and all the bands that have been influenced by them? This is the place for you.

I have it on good authority Santa's bringing me a Kindle this year.
Help start my library with your suggestions - either here or on my site:

Ask for real books, you already spend too much time looking at a screen. :wink:

Well, give us a hint, Frank -- what kind of books do you like to read?

Our public libraries are now checking out e-books. Is that pretty common where you are?

Sci fi short story anthologies - the one I see around most often are the Hartwell ones.

I never thought I would use the kindle that much because I do like real books, but the ability to just order up your next book instantly is just so convenient. Also the size is very handy.

Mine is not the newest model, which I understand has somewhat improved contrast. I think you will be very happy with it.

An employee of mine has one, and I was blown away when I first saw it. It truly looks like paper.

The Story of O by Pauline Réage. I get a strong feeling you will enjoy this novel.

Perhaps this thread could also discuss the merits of kindle jnr, the vreader. I think that's only fair.
