I just remembered I had a cd of BAEN books that I got as a freebie at world con last year. I hadn't read them as I didn't have an ereader and I just don't like reading on computer screens. I just downloaded them to my Kindle Or at least all the Honor Harrington ones - the rest can wait till I'm through these. I put them all in a file (in the right format) on my computer, so its easier to transfer them. I've also gotten online at Baen and found a couple of other books that I'd like to get. Maybe next weekend. My reading has gone up a lot with the ereader. I'd slowed down because of
1. Lack of space to put new books (and I don't like to assume I'll read once and give away)
2. Price of books - if I'm not sure whether I'm likely to want to reread, I'd rather not pay $100 for only 4 books.

E-readers are really amazingly good purchase decisions for heavy volume readers. :)
I'm totally surprised by how much I'm reading off it.
I'm also enjoying little things like this -
Last night I found a book that had been written online in blog format & was getting sucked into it. I was thinking "I wish this was in ebook format, it would be more comfortable to read that way and I'm tired and want to go to bed and I'll have to bookmark where I am" and then I check the side bar where it said "this book is now available at Smashwords"
So I've clicked on the link, put it in my library and next time I do some purchasing I'll buy it :)
