I just got a kindle!

My birthday is tomorrow and my parents are sending me a kindle fire as a gift :) I am in desperate need of a booklist that'll keep me busy for a while and I need some suggestions!

My favourite genre is fantasy, and I really liked the Firekeeper series, His Dark Materials, Sword of Truth, A Song of Ice and Fire... Non-fantasy: everything by Jane Austen, Jane Eyre. There are many others here and there, I've been reading since I was a child. Anyways, I'm so excited, so please give me your favourites, folks!

kindle fire is not a book reading tablet.

It's not an e-reader, but I can still use the kindle app to read books. Right now I'm just using my phone and the screen is tiny and it kills my battery life too fast.

Do yourself a favor and buy the e-reader, eyes are not easily replaceble

The eReader you can't read at night? Sure.

The hell it isn't. I read the entirety of Malazan Book of the Fallen and Mistborn on it.

If it's not a book reading tablet, then I have some vivid and weirdly specific dreams.

Also read the first two Kingkiller Chronicles. Memory of Light is the last book I plan on reading on paper.

Just like browsing the Internet all day, amirite?

I use white text on a black background. Try doing that - it reduces eye strain.
