Finally, I love to hear why people like their current ereader. I'm regularly asked about ereaders and it helps to know what people like about say their Aura since I don't have one of those. Since I know our library lets you download to an Aura, I can then tell them the differences so that they can make a choice better suited for them. Sony, of course, is out of the running now.
This year from 19 books I've read, I've read 6 new authors. So approximately 1/3 of my reads are by new writers.
  • Arkady and Boris Strugatsky - Roadside Picnic
  • Brian Staveley - The Emperor's Blades
  • Douglas Adams - THGTG
  • Erin Morgenstern - The Night Circus
  • William Goldman - The Princes Bride
  • Alfred Bester - The Stars My Destination


As far as your 2nd question goes I read on my Kindle Paperwhite 2. It's very comfortable to read on it because of the lighted screen. I also like the search function.
