i know a lot of you like reading

i got some really good free amazon downloads recently

only drawback is you have to pay for the follow up

but its usually pretty cheap ie 77p

i read bobby adair-ebola

bobby adair-slow burn

i like the post apocalyptic stuff

the zombie stuff

 

anyway

i thought we could use this thread to tell each other types of books we like

and if we spot 'em going for free we could put it on this thread

cos sometimes theyre free for a day and we miss 'em

 

good idea?

Despite my job in technology, I still prefer the paper versions.

I prefer books as I love the feel, smell and touch of them but I do love my kindle as it holds lots of stuff and it's light weight so I can carry it around easily 

 

I've downloaded loads of free books and when read deleted them.  I also buy lots of furrin books that are only available in the kindle format and I love that they are there instantly 

 

did I tell you I love my kindle - the only thing I can't do is bend over the corners of the page

I have a Kindle Fire and as EC said, you can't beat it for loading up lots of books to read on holiday. For someone like me, who will read a particularly good book more than once, it means you can store the book on the kindle and it doesn't take up any room in the house. I also have a Kindle app on my Ipad and the books I download from Amazon are loaded onto both tablets. I can swap between tablets and the book will automatically go to the last page I read.

I love British crime thrillers, with a bit of contemporary fiction thrown in to lighten the mood now and then. 

Nothing beats a real book in your hands, imo, but Kindle's are fabulous too.

I go through phases of reading depending on what else is going on in my life... I've not unpacked my kindle since I moved four weeks ago for example!    I love it though - as Yogi says, I love that if it's a book I'm really enjoying, I can read a chapter on the PC at work while I'm having my lunch.  I also love it for reading in bed - you don't have that uncomfortable trying to keep it open when you're lying on your side.   

 

Why did that last sentence make think of that Steven creep from BB?
