I've been thoroughly enjoying my new Kobo (as well as the books I've been reading). My biggest complaint is that my library of books to read is growing exponentially faster then I can read them!

Still new to ebooks, but so far have read:
-- "The Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill" (Stephen King's son). It's not your typical ghost story, but I found it engrossing and pulls me into the story and the characters. His writing style is very similar to his dad.
== "On the Beach" by Nevil Shute: a classic; about people living in south Australia waiting for death to come in the form of radioactivity (they are the last people left on Earth following a brief nuclear war between NATO, Russia and China). I enjoyed the story, but found the characters a bit stiff.
== "Blood Music" by Greg Bear; presently reading, about a third of the way through. Very engrossing sci fi tale about man made, intelligent single celled organisms that threaten man's existence.

All 3 titles are from the library (first 2 from Ohio ebook Project and the last one from Singapore). I have several books I've purchased, but have pushed those to the back burner as the library books have an expiration date :-) ).
