I’m reading Dune. It is a 900+ page edition and the book appears to have a few sci-fi concepts or words I’m not familiar with. The weapons Paul train with at the training room are quite possibly invented by the author. I’m still not finished, so I don’t want to say anything else about it, yet.
Thank you for contributing to the thread @Naomie_Pennilez

Almost finished with the second volume of Le Morte D’Arthur. It’s basically 1000 pages of solo frigate PVP with the occasional FFA sponsored by Tuskers or Stay Frosty. No plot, yet strangely entertaining.
Started The Dark Forest, which has the unique structural feature of not using chapters, and The Farthest Shore, which I hope I enjoy more than Tombs of Atuan.

If you’re longing to buy a new e-book reader right now, you might want to wait 10 more days. The rumor mills are indicating Amazon ran out of stock when it comes to their e-readers, and about to release new versions after that time. Perhaps this time they’re going all color. Of course, those who like android devices can try out other brands.
It’s been at least 1 year since Scribe was out. How time flies!
I still think the best is the Kindle Oasis. Strange how they only sell the cellular version outside of the US.

I agree and the latter thing you said is true as well. Even stranger is that they don’t even sell it(or any other Kindles or even e-books!) on one different language Amazon website, i.e. the Turkish website.
What is even more peculiar is that that website sells their competitors’ devices&accessories inexpensively instead. As a result, people here b(r)ought the 20$ cheaper, advert enabled version from abroad and abused the ad-removal exploit. There are theories on why A doesn’t sell the Kindles, such as: They reportedly gave the rights of selling their e-devices to a small, tech importing company in the country.

Off topic but I got hit by a car at 13 yrs old. 2 days in ICU, etc. Still love riding a good high-quality bike.

Got run over by a car when I was small. Didn’t know what all the fuss was about though as I was fine.
AS a car driver, recently a cyclist bombing down a steep hill in pouring rain ran into the back of my car at high speed. He kept asking me if I was okay which I found strange as I was totally fine and surpised that he even survived due to how hard he hit the car.

Why? Do you see e-readers as the work of Satan? 
Do you LordOfDarkness ?
I see you’re responding to a question with another question. 
I personally think they’re one of the best inventions ever made.
Oasis 3rd Gen all the way! My previous was a Keyboard. Too bad they released Colorsoft with Kaleido 3(4096 colors) screen instead of a color Oasis with Gallery 3(50.000 colors). Amazon had lots of time to create on their hands. But I’m surely hoping that they won’t turn into another Valve Inc.
EDIT: Buttons are a must in an e-reader. Swiping distracts from reading a lot.
Yes, I’m surprised the latest firmware update has been such an improvement to speed. The cellular connectivity is great as I can get news on Wikipedia. I feel the design of Kindles has stagnated as they gone to simple focusing on reading ebooks rather than having active content and a few games etc. They need to experiment. Kindle devices have always been loss leaders they might as well keep it interesting if they want to become popular in other markets.
