New to E-readers and Mobileread
Hi everyone, I have already posted a few times in other areas of this site, but figured I would formally introduce myself.
The name is Kelly, married for 23 years, father of 6 and currently an active duty Naval Officer... hence the handle. I have never owned an E-reader before and am looking forward to getting the Kindle 2 in the two weeks. I am a voracious reader. I like History, Historical Biographies, Political and Military topics for my heavy reading. For the lighter stuff, Sci-Fi and Fantasy. I look forward to learning a lot over the next couple months. |

Welcome Kelly.
Since you like SF and Fantasy, get yourself right over to Baen's website and check out the huge list of free books they are giving away. Yeah, many of them are first in a series, but you just hop to the WebScription site where you can buy the sequels. Their monthly "WebScription" bundles and other bundles bring the price down to somewhere around $3 apiece. And, since a lot of their SF is kind-of military (I call it "Navy in space" stories) you may find their books very delightful. |
