I just installed the Kindle app on my Nexus 7 tablet and bought some of the Hugo nominees. Not sure if I like the e-reader thing yet. There is a sad lack of serious non-fiction for the e-readers yet that is not insanely priced. For $20 I can get a physical book I own and can lend out, or for $19 I can get a file that I have a license to possess that can be revoked at any time for any reason? That is nuts. I can't even tell you what I bought, but each book was $3-$6 and there were five of them. I don't read fiction as a rule; the real world is way more interesting. So I'll read these few books and decide if it is for me.
