No, not your favorite budget hotel chain ... but your favorite books set in the Old West (and accessible for Kindle)!

Yes, I just saw True Grit, one of the better movies of the the last year or two, and the fiancee and I have been playing way too much Fallout: New Vegas, a postapocalyptic RPG set in Nevada. So I'm definitely in the mood for tales of gunslinging in the desert, preferably of the gritty or darkly comic variety.

I've read Elmore Leonard's Valdez is Coming, which I enjoyed, and his Hombre, which I didn't. I loved McCarthy's Blood Meridian, which is not so much a Western as a brooding and beautiful thunderhead of a book.

So what are your favorite Westerns in ebook format?
