The one thing I don't like about the Kindle app for iPad is that I haven't figured out how to sort my books on a bookshelf. I have a bunch of cookbooks, a bunch of fiction, some other adult themed books, and a few kids books for when I let then younger one borrow my iPad. I haven't let the young one know about the books yet because I don't want them getting into the adult ones. Besides, I don't think they would like looking at all the other "safe" ones, just because they are cookbooks and other types of fiction. I have a couple of hundred, so it is difficult sorting through them.

Ah, I don't have enough books on my Kindle account to make it worth doing shelves. But yeah, I can totally see where failure to sort can be vexing!

The Kindle app is my main source of ebooks because there are a couple of facebook pages I like that direct me to daily free ebooks, which is why I have so many. My in flow of books is way faster than what I would normally read, even if it is mainly cookbooks. It is hard to pass up a free book sometimes, even if I am not sure I'll like it.

I am TOTALLY with you on the shininess of free books. :D

Interesting that you're slurping up cookbooks! Are you finding that they're formatted well for reading on the iPad?
