Current meanderings when I have nothing else on me are Anthony Trollope’s Ayala’s Angel and James Branch Cabell’s Jurgen. Oddly, though I’ve picked up free electronic versions of several Tor novels, I haven’t begun them–I’m a bit afraid to see whether I converted .pdf to .epub correctly.

Backlighting versus eInk seems to be the biggest factor shifting a few of my friends towards the Kindle. They happen also to be friends who don’t mind DRM as much as I do….

I bought the lulu.com print-on-demand version of Element a couple of years ago. Very good read, yes!
