LilacBleeds: how are you liking the Kindle? I've been looking into them. The only thing is I would have to convert my current ebooks into a kindle friendly format (and I hear through the grapevine that Amazon is pretty strict about formats...)

I am only reading school texts as of now, but I am looking forward to cracking back into 9 short stories by JD Salinger.

If you install the calibre program I linked to above, you can drag and drop in files that need converting. Right click and go Convert > Convert Individually, set the output at the top right corner as a '.MOBI' file and let it do it's work.

Then you can plug in the kindle and have Calibre send the file to it via USB. Or it can be set up to email it straight to your kindle.

It's a very useful program :)

What format are your ebooks in at the moment? I've managed to convert everything I've needed using Calibre so far.

Only need that for epubs really. You can email book files to your free kindle email address and it is automatically converted for you. Your personalized email address is listed in settings of kindle

That's true. Although with Calibre you can do a lot of more complex things if you play around with the settings. Like removing gaps between paragraphs (had to do that with some books from the kindle store :() or having it automatically detect and insert chapter markers for books that don't have them.
 
3/4 through the first book of the Sword of Truth series (by published date, I didn't start with the prequel). Another good call by NA and others, it's been an enjoyable read so far.

Should read the prequel next. It's a very short read. Then it just keeps getting better and better

Maybe that will help me figure out why the Rahl family in this book are the bad guys, and the Rahl family in a previous book I read by him which was the same 'universe' but set on Earth (The Law of Nines) were the good guys.
Or maybe that's coming somewhere in this story.
Or maybe he just reused the family name to confuse the readers and it's really not the same family at all.

I haven't read it, but this is what wikipedia has to say:

It's from the very start of the wikipedia entry so I'm assuming this isn't a spoiler, but you have been warned ;)

The story itself is set in a contemporary or near future setting. This reality is however linked to a parallel universe that seems to be a latter day incarnation of Goodkind's The Sword of Truth setting.

You will get it within a couple books :)

Also law of nines will make more sense after you finish series... I would have waited to read Nine
