I actually thought the page-turning aspect of it was going to be my problem. The black-flash-to-next-screen thing spooked my eyes something awful the first few times I flipped a page, but it turns out that I got just so used to it I don't notice at all. :)
Being near-sighted, I usually read books without my glasses, so I may look into bumping up the text size, because it's an awkward thing to just hold closer to my face. XD; I ... kinda forgot it did that. XD;;
Mmm, I <3 SF, especially Golden Age writing, and quite a lot of pulp Swords & Sorcery type things. Not so much the "I HAVE A MAGIC DRAGON!!!" as "I have a penis and a sword, and I will slay monsters with one, the other, or both. Marvel at my chest hair, fellow MAN-COMPANIONS!" Fritz Leiber is my hero.
I'm actually devouring a lot of classics right now that I never would've known existed without the Kindle, mostly because I don't get paid for another week, so I'd better find something to occupy me toot quick about it. Letters of a Woman Homesteader was fantastically enchanting (if a bit schizophrenic, because you only ever got letters coming FROM Wyoming, so you had to guess what the replies were), and Leiber's The Night of the Long Knives was interestingly post-apoc., and now I'm reading e.e.cummings' account of his time in French concentration camps, The Enormous Room, which is quite interesting.
I love free books. I read too much if you leave me alone to have it any other way. <3
