I don't know about you, but I feel like I am reading much more with my Kindle than ever pre-K. I am currently reading American Wife and listening to Dragonfly in Amber. I've learned quickly though that the Kindle is not the best for audiobooks. Think I'll go back to putting audios on my phone again. Also enjoying a weekly magazine called "Cash: Personal Finance for Real People". The articles are brief and to the point, sometimes entertaining, and particularly interesting now with so many financial challenges.

How about you? Anyone have any Kindle blog or magazine recommendations? Also, curious about whether you continue to read paper books. (Not for me, so far)

OK - I'm rambling now. :) Your turn!

I haven't done any magazines or blogs yet although I am toying with the New Yorker. I really only read fiction and have already read two of the In Death books by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts). I am reading a "real" book right now, Under the Skin by Faber, and by page 15 I was missing the built in dictionary.

I agree about the dictionary - I must use it multiple times a day (and previously thought I had a good vocabulary!)

I had never heard of J.D. Robb until coming to this and to the kindleboards website - where she is everywhere! (Yes, I must be living under a rock :)) I think I'll be adding her to my "to read" list soon.

I posted some thoughts & ideas about the Kindle and authors at http://www.podbram.blogspot.com/ for what that may be worth.

Al, when I clicked on the link all I received was "Page not found".

connie, just delete the comma at the end or the url

Ah-ha (head slap). Thank you!

I am definitely reading more now than pre-Kindle. Right now I'm reading Old Man's War by John Scalzi.

I never got into audio books, I really need to be listening to music as much as possible...

You're right - that's definitely a drawback - I rarely listen to the radio or music anymore if I'm really caught up in an audiobook.

I definitely read more on the Kindle than I used to because it is easier to find books and much easier to get them. It is not uncommon for me to finish one book and get a sample or new book right away to read.

I am reading Lost Christianities right now.

I have always read a lot, but Kindle has just made it easier and more fun. I am reading more but it is because once I am done with a book, there are thousands of others at my fingertips! Plus, I carry my Kindle with me everywhere whereas I didn't always carry a book with me everywhere. I adore my Kindle and wish all authors would allow Kindle versions. I would like to see prices on books drop more regularly. I almost never, ever pay $9.99 for a book. I use Kindleboards.com bargain and free book threads a LOT!

I am currently reading "Waiting For Spring" which I heard of on Kindleboards.com. You can buy it for $3.19 on amazon, but on the authors website, they have it in .pdf format for free and I emailed that to my Kindle 1. I am really, really liking it. Got sucked into the story right away and can't wait to see how it turns out....

"Waiting for Spring" - what an appropriate title for this time of year! Thanks for mentioning that one - I hadn't caught it on kindleboards but just downloaded it.

Lost Christianities also sounds like a fascinating book.

Currently reading "Veronika Decides To Die" By Paulo Coelho. I use the audio feature only when I really can't read it because I'm doing something and can't use my hands. It's OK for the short term, but I too prefer real audio books, so I'll get them from the library and download them to my ipod.

Currently reading "Mozart's Wife," highly readable. Finished "Marrying the Captain" and "Distant Cousin," of course. All budget priced.

I've been reading non-stop since my K2 arrived. Currently I'm working my way through the Temeraire series. I've read His Majesty's Dragon and Throne of Jade. I'm currently halfway through Black Powder War. I guess that giving away the first book free really works. :)

My reading has slowed down a bit, but not by much :) Currently I'm reading Distant Cousin (I'll post soon Al, promise), Outfoxed (Rita Mae Brown is a local author) and Voyager.

Al - Thanks for mentioning that one. I've heard good things. Also your book looks really interesting. Both are going on my "to reads" list.

Currently I'm reading "Bleak House" by Dickens on my Kindle.

Liz - How are you enjoying Bleak House? I tried listening to it on audio recently and had a lot of difficulty getting through it - finally gave up on it about 6 hours in. My FIL loves the story and just sent me the DVD.

Right now I'm reading "Ghost Brigades" by John Scalzi. I loved "Old Man's War" so much I had to jump right into the sequel!

Connie, It is a slow read. It will be one of those reads I'll be reading for months. I am having trouble with it, but I will not give up.

Afraid - by Jack Kilborn (every bit as gory as reviews say!).

"The Kite Runner" - Saw the movie and read Hosseini's second book ("A Thousand Splendid Suns"). So far, I can't put it down!

I am reading 3 books, all different genres. I used to have DTB's on every level of my house, so depending on which level I was on, was the book I was reading. Now with the Kindle it goes everywhere with me, so it depends on my mood: Easy Prey by John Sandford. Started these books years ago, and am trying to get caught up. Montana Creeds: Tyler, by Linda Lael Miller, for some silly reading. And lastly We Bought a Zoo...just started that.

Reading and enjoying both books.

I'm working my way through the Southern Vampire Mysteries :) Honestly, it's the funniest thing... I would never in a million years have thought I'd like vampire stories, but at some point a while back there was a special on some site - maybe fictionwise? - where I could get the Twilight ebooks as a package for really cheap, and so I did. I read them REALLY fast and enjoyed the stories though obviously they aren't shining examples of literary technique :). Then I heard Howard Stern talking about HBO's True Blood series, and realized it was based on a book series, but still didn't think to get the books, til someone posted on Kindleboards that the 7th in the series is going cheap right now. So I caved and bought the first... up to #3 right now... probably will finish them all in a week :)

Then I think I'm probably going to read Funny in Farsi next (which was a free d/l I picked up from the April free book thread I think?), and then possibly It Sucked and then I Cried by Heather Armstrong (the sample is sitting on my Kindle calling my name). And then the Unlikely Disciple maybe?

Hillary - I did the same thing with the Southern Vampire books back in January. Cheap, fast, and fun reads! Now if only True Blood would come back soon - I keep wondering if it will continue to follow the books.
