I read a lot more, but I'm not sure I'll ever get through just the free stuff I want to read. Really, I'd rather read most of what's available on Project Gutenberg than on Amazon. Volumes of books free and in my hand even more readable than paper copy in a matter of minutes. Ebook readers may be an evolutionary product as far as gadgets go--once you have the ipod the question is simply "what's next"--but for books, and really and hopefully civilization, they could be revolutionary. The things that few would ever read otherwise but ought to... Could we go back to being a society that reads???
