Amazon probably has statistics where they know the average completion rate for KU books. The farthest I ever got on a Max Allan Collings book was 25%, after realizing that he is a formulaic, prolific writer with none of the imagination of Charles Dickens.

Is there a finite number of page flips you can do with an e-reader? My most heavily used e-reader is an Irex, and it is plagued with shadowing. With 11 Kindles, I hardly think I will ever encounter this problem.
