What device do you use for reading Vader?

I bought one of the first generation Nooks that B&N makes when they first came out. It is still going strong.

I chose it at the time because the EPUB format was available from multiple places plus there was a lot of free "classic" EPUB books at Project Guttenberg.

That's what I'm using, too. Got at a Christmas gift several years ago. It's possibly the best gift I've ever received. I've thought about upgrading to one of the tablet-like Nooks, but see no real need to until this one craps out. I do wish I could read graphic novels on this, though.

I use paper.

Paperback, usually. Sometimes I upgrade to hardback.

Currently reading through The Wheel of Time series by suggestion of Incipent. On book 7 of 14.

Also just got Football as a War Game.

I like the e-ink look better than the tablets, so I will likely just get a simple touch when mine goes. Graphic novels are not my thing.

I got myself Football as as War Game recently as well. I can't wait to dig into it.

I like real books, but I can't afford to buy all of them in hardcover and I can hardly read the type in paperback. I have piss-poor eyesight. The Nook is great because I don't have to worry about destroying the spine of the book, books are cheap compared to print, and I can choose the font size. Still, though, I have a collection of my favorites in hardcover adorning my bookshelf next to my awards.

I have a Kindle keyboard and I love love love it!
Getting a Kindle for my MIL for Christmas and am so excited about it. A bit nervous about it too but I know she will love it.

Just finished the Hunger Games trilogy and liked it better than ithought I would.

My Kindelina is one of the best gifts I have ever received. I can spend countless hours on Amazon searching for book deals.

The Hunger Games trilogy were seriously some of the most engaging books I've ever read.

I finished Divergent this morning, even though my Nook's battery died with less than 10 pages to go last night--that's the downside to eReaders. I'm moving immediately to Insurgent (book #2 in the trilogy). It was that good.

I had planned on reading Neil Gaiman's Stardust next, but that's been put on hold.

Cat and Mouse by James Patterson. It's the 4th book in the long running Alex Cross series. I love these books. Picked up most of the series from McKay for under a dollar a piece.

Just finished Insurgent (Divergent #2) by Veronica Roth. So good. I need to buy Allegiant next, but I've got Stardust from Neil Gaiman already that I should read first.

Taking a break from TWOT series to read The Book Thief so I can see it with Mrs. chavis.

Aiming to read 50 in 2014.

Couldn't really get into Stardust so I went ahead and grabbed Allegiant, the final book in the Divergent Trilogy. An abrupt change in writing styles threw me for a loop, as I'm now reading from the vantage point of two different characters instead of just one. Each character's view point is separated by a chapter. I'm 80+ pages into it after last night. I'm not the fastest reader ever, but these are some very quick reading books. If I had the day off today, I would be able to sit down and read it all in one day.

I also downloaded The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker.

Urban Legends By Sturat A Kallen
I'm on the last chapter which is Criminal Acts and Gruesome Legends

So far it's been kickass. It does include Government Conspiracies.

Finished Allegiant. Way disappointed. Not nearly as good as Divergent or Insurgent.

Up next is Carmac McCarthy's The Road. Continue on that post-apocalyptic roll.

Halfway through 1491 and Clash of Kings. 1493, Team of Rivals, Storm of Swords, and The Bully Pulpit are on deck.

This is my second attempt at it. I have a hard time dealing with exceptionally long sentences.

I just finished Blood Meridian and I had a hard time with the lack of punctuation in a lot of the book. I found myself having to try and remember Spanish and google some obscure and archaic words that he used..but it was a good read. Ultra-ultra violent...but its about Scalp Hunters so to be expected.
