* Mostly new books. I did buy a couple of eBook titles that I already owned in paper. I will be doing more of this as time goes on. Some of the time it will be because I have given away the original paper book and I would like to have a copy to keep.

I have purchased:
* Stranger in a Strange Land, Heinlein
* Deeds of Paksenarrion, Moon
* Door Through Space, Bradley
We won't count all the free SF and fantasy that I downloaded from Baen. I had never read any of the Honor Harrington series and now I'm definitely enjoying it. I do plan to purchase more of Heinlein's backlist and probably most of Anne McCaffrey's.
