Boring? Good grief - these rank among the greats of the art of writing. I mean, Wilke Collins INVENTED the modern mystery novel.

Actually I have owned my Sony eReader for about ten months and have NEVER purchased an eBook yet. Everything I have read on it is in the public domain - about 80 so far.
I'm with you on this. I've had my Reader for about the same length of time and have been rediscovering authors I thought I knew and some I'd never known existed. I'm currently enjoying the Scarlet Pimpernel novels by Baroness Emusska Orczy.

EDIT: Yes, I love my Reader. My friends accuse me of secretly working for Sony because I talk about it so much.
