On my Kindle, every single book I paid for I've read--be it $.99 or $15. I have a bunch of free classics and a bunch of free books by writers I haven't heard of. I haven't addressed too many of the books by new writers yet though.

I've had pretty good luck using the buying tools Amazon offers though.

I enjoyed Jack and Mr. Grin by Anderson Prunty enough to buy something else by him. Same goes for The Scioneer by Peter Bouvier.

Most of the other ones are hit or miss. But, then again, so are the classics. I tried War and Peace. I really did. And right now I'm trying to read The Mysterious Island, but I'm getting a bit fed up with the detailed descriptions of each blade of grass...
