I'm also a big fan of Hemingway and Faulkner. I read a lot of non-fiction too, mostly on music and musicians.

For me one the biggest attractions for the Kindle is the wireless connection to Amazon. Before I bought my Kindle I bought 99% of my DTBs from Amazon anyways...
Unfortunately, wireless is out for me, since I'm currently living outside North America. I want the option of buying and reading mobi/.prc books and I've gravitated toward a Kindle2 purchase, so that explains my interest in the Kindle.

I absolutely love Faulkner's work. I also read quite a lot of noir fiction, Sci-Fi and Fantasy, in addition to literary works.

If you're not yet aware of it, MobileRead has a large number (over 8,000) of books available in various popular formats. You'll find a lot of genre coverage here of totally free ebooks - titles in the public domain and Creative Commons. They've all been 'hand-assembled.'

Well, I don't want to hijack the thread, so back to Kindle.
