Stop looking through Amazon for book recommendations. I'm serious, their current goal is to sell Kindles because that is their product, and I believe the only product they sell that is an Amazon product. here's a couple of blogs/sites that are for sci-fi/fantasy, since I know they're your favorite genres :-)

As an author, I couldn't agree more, especially since there have been problems with novels appearing as E-books without the consent of the authors.

Unless I am forced, nothing I write will be on kindle.

I fully agree. I don't think it is cheaper for the authors though. It is cheaper for the publishers probably. Also, I think this is a reaction to the new generation where everything is done by electronics. Lets keep in mind that we're talking about a generation that considers a strange who friends them on-line an actual friend.

Sadly, I think authors who are still trying to break into the business (raises hand) have to go along with this and look more at e-books and kindle than physical books. You know the next step is to skip the book entirely and just make a movie out of the ideas.
