look on my works ye mighty, and despair

I got a Kindle Paperwhite! There was an offer on QVC on the weekend and I've been uhming and ahhing over buying an ereader for a while (never owned one before). It's black, comes with a pretty purple leather case, and I have named it Andrei.

(My ipod is Qubine, my laptop is Hiroshi, my old phone was Masaharu. Apparently I've never named my current phone, so it's now Kyouya. The theory is that if I name the thing for something I like, I'll take better care of it.)

I own two ebooks already on amazon for reasons that are a bit unclear to me, and there's a lending library thing I get access to because I have Amazon Prime (oh, and a free choice from six 'preview' ebooks each month, it turns out). Weirdly the first ebook I went looking for that wasn't already on my normal wishlist was a copy of The Last Herald-Mage series, because I ditched the physical books a while back but wouldn't mind an e-version for comfort reading. It turns out they don't exist in ebook form. Grumble. It looks like some of the other early Lackey books have been recently made available, though, so I suppose I'll wait and see. I do also want to read the Aubrey-Maturin series but having seen the cost to buy it all on kindle I think I'll borrow it via the library instead.

Otherwise my wishlist is full of things my library only stocks the first in the series of, or doesn't stock at all.
