Starting reading Stephen King's UR (on AES's Kindle) on the beach a few weeks ago and finally took the time to finish it last night. It wasn't a very long story and probably took 2 hours total to read but it was an entirely new experience for me to read a book entirely in an electronic format on the Kindle.
While the story was nothing to write home about - it was interesting to see such dedicated product placement in a story, especially when the product is the one you're holding your hands. I know this was the plan for both Amazon and for Stephen King - but it's a little odd as a reader, in my opinion. The Kindle format made it so easy to flip through with one button press and made the experience of reading, both outdoors in full sun and indoors in low light, very enjoyable and equally viable. Having no other experience reading on the Kindle - this was a great way to start.
Anyone who has a Kindle but hasn't picked this one up --- have a look - best of all, it's free.
Started playing NCAA March Madness again yesterday. We're started a season and played 8 games or so last night, and will probably play out the rest of the season today. We don't have a ton to do this weekend, so I'd imagine we'll be firing away with that for a majority of the weekend. There are a couple good football games this weekend - including one of national importance (that I frankly couldn't care who wins) but we'll be watching none the less.
I've decided to start reading Cell by Stephen King again. I started it over the summer but didn't enjoy it so much... but it's time that I plowed through it so I can get on to the next book. I'll keep you posted.
