Piers Anthony

Orson Scott Card
+Ender's Saga 7: Shadow Puppets
J.K. Rowling
+ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Okay, that's at least 50 books I read on the PDA. I think I missed some (maybe some Lackey? And not sure how to count "ebooks" that are short stories or novellas.) I'm not sure I read any except HP7 in paper format. (No, wait... the first ABVH book was loaned to me in print; that's how I got started on them.) I also read the entire Snarry Games set, the Tea Series book 7
It's official: I prefer reading books on the 320 pixel screen. There's a few others around the house that I started & didn't finish; I'm not listing them 'cos I'd have to go find them and all that. And because I read fast enough that "didn't finish" is usually about the same as "read the back cover and table of contents; wasn't interested."
They're pretty much all F&SF fluff. Entertainment books. (Well, I don't think of the Vork books as "fluff," exactly, but they're all genre fiction.) I plan on reading more books of substance next year... I think this past year was sorting out that I still like reading... I'd just kinda stopped for several years because it was such a hassle to drag a book with me to work, dig it out of the bag on a crowded bus, remember to take it with me to lunch in case I have a few minutes to read waiting in line, and so on. This was a "comfort reading" year. I'm planning on more substantial reading in the year to come.
