I have done something quite earth-shaking - I have just bought my first Kindle book. I saw a review of a thriller on DoveGreyReader's book blog and really fancied reading it. When I looked at the price online it was going to cost me almost ten pounds with postage for the paperback, but the Kindle price was only £2.39. As I consume thrillers like chocolates (and pass them on to the charity shops) I didn't think I could justify the price of the paperback. But I don't own - can't afford - a Kindle!
Then I noticed that you can download the Kindle software 'for PC' free from Amazon. So I did just that, downloaded the book onto my little netbook and now I can read it on the sofa, in bed, or on the train. Don't know how easy it will be on the eye, but it's an experiment. Oh, and I got three free e-books from Amazon at the same time. Great!
And The Book? It's called Snowdrops, by A.D. Miller, set in Russia. Apparently he was a journalist - correspondent for the Economist in Moscow, so knows his subject. Had a peek at the first pages before I bought and it looks good.
