I agree. It has an impact in that I'm buying books from a wider range than I would in dead tree editions. I have particularly tried more sci-fi (due to the popularity and availabilty of this genre in ebook form, no doubt) than I would normally read (more or less stopped reading sci-fi in my 20s - before that it was all I read).
So to answer the original question, yes it has broadened my horizons. Just this year I have read thrillers, spy books, zombies, science fiction, horror, biography, classics and non-fiction. Prior to my kindle, it would have been mostly thrillers.
