Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon is $1.99.

Imagine The Stand, but instead of the flu, it's nuclear war. But I don't mean to dismiss Swan Song with the lazy comparison. It's not a rip-off of The Stand.

A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick

Swan is a nine-year-old Idaho girl following her struggling mother from one trailer park to the next when she receives visions of doom—something far wider than the narrow scope of her own beleaguered life. In a blinding flash, nuclear bombs annihilate civilization, leaving only a few buried survivors to crawl onto a scorched landscape that was once America.

In Manhattan, a homeless woman stumbles from the sewers, guided by the prophecies of a mysterious amulet, and pursued by something wicked; on Idaho’s Blue Dome Mountain, an orphaned boy falls under the influence of depraved survivalists and discovers the value of a killer instinct; and amid the devastating dust storms on the Great Plains of Nebraska, Swan forms a heart-and-soul bond with an unlikely new companion. Soon they will cross paths. But only Swan knows that they must endure more than just a trek across an irradiated country of mutated animals, starvation, madmen, and wasteland warriors.

Swan’s visions tell of a coming malevolent force. It’s a shape-shifting embodiment of the apocalypse, and of all that is evil and despairing. And it’s hell-bent on destroying the last hope of goodness and purity in the world. Swan is that hope. Now, she must fight not only for her own survival, but for that of all mankind.

A winner of the Bram Stoker Award and a finalist for the World Fantasy Award, Swan Song has become a modern classic, called “a chilling vision that keeps you turning pages to the shocking end” by John Saul and “a long, satisfying look at hell and salvation” by Publishers Weekly.

But their celebrations are short-lived when they hit and kill a stag on the road. Alex s sister Meggie awaits them in the cottage, adding to the tension when her dog, Oscar, goes missing. Mike becomes haunted by a disturbing presence in the cottage, and is hunted by threatening figures in the highland fog. Reeling from a shock revelation, Mike begins to lose his grip on his sanity. As the dark secrets of the past conspire to destroy the bonds of friendship, Mike must uncover the terrifying truth dwelling within the walls of Hearthstone Cottage.

This sounds a bit like Stephen King's Needful Things.

I thought that too. Not a rip-off, but a similar idea.

I think this is horror. Forgive me if incorrect.

Eh, all readers are pretty decent. Honestly I think all the major e-ink devices are okay. What made you switch? Screen size? Build quality? Ecosystem?

I agree. Kobo and Kindles are all very good. There's just a matter of personal preferences based upon (primarily) price, size, and software. Of course, other variables figure in to a certain degree.

I like one or two things more on my Kobo than on my Kindle; and I like one or two things more on my Kindle than on my Kobo.

Remember that old movie "The Fly"? Perhaps I could combine both my Voyage and my Aura One and come up with a ground-breaking bestselling ereader!

I, too, am curious to why radbaddude changed.

[radbaddude]

I really had no compelling reason to change. I am curious if the Oasis is at all more ergonomic. I have the Clara HD with the official case that flips back vertically. Sometimes my hand complains about holding it so the larger size of the oasis was intriguing. I traded in a 6th gen paperwhite for the 25% off + $25 deal and giving one of my kids the Clara. I will miss Koreader but I only buy my books from Amazon and it will be nice to have automated sync between my devices. No mess.
