Stuff on my Kindle (be prepared for incredibly long list):

“A Small Room in Koboldtown” by Michael Swanwick

Hugo 2008 nominee. Nice conversion from the PDF.

“After the Coup” by John Scalzi

Mobi direct from Tor.com’s stories page. A little spaced out but very readable.

“After the Siege” by Cory Doctorow.

You know Cory. I owe him a buy of his anthology; I really enjoyed this stuff. The Feedbooks Download Guide helped me find this and download on my Kindle, with nary a stop to USB or email over Whispernet.

Agent to the Stars, first edition, by John Scalzi.

He let this out into the wild himself quite a whiles back. I just sent the entire HTML over to the Kindle conversion machine. The links still work, too. Nicely output for the most part.

All Seated on the Ground by Connie Willis.

Hugo 2008 nominee. I already bought the book version from Subterranean Press. I must say that Asimov’s managed to employ DRM on an HTML page—it’s so broken that I had to strip it down before it could convert sanely. But hey; the DRM was brilliant.

Amazon Daily blog subscription

Mostly just for kicks and to see how a subscription would work—for free. I can visit the links over the Basic Web browser. Good enough for me. Has images too.

Recovering Apollo 8 by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Hugo 2008 nominee. See comments for All Seated.

[sample] The Boggart by Susan Cooper

Never got to read her as a kid. Will try it now. All of Chapter One from the Amazon Kindle store for free, which beats out the length of samples from the Amazon.com “normal” store and Google Library.

Brasyl by Ian McDonald

I owe him a buy, but I want this thing in eBook form. Poorly converted from the .rtf files I got from the free eBooks initiative over at John Scalzi’s place as an official Hugo voter.

[sample] Candle by John Barnes

Suggested as Heinlein replacement #2. From Amazon Kindle store.

Hal Spacejock by Simon Hayes

Full download from his official site. Desperately need funny (as in Discworld funny) science fiction so I can be convinced that not all is doom doom gloom some funny stuff gloom doom world ends…

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow

You know Cory. I have the hardcover too. And the ARC. Twice. It’s that good. Passing out the love.

Original Kindle User’s Guide

The Last Colony by John Scalzi

Hugo 2008 initiative. Waiting for official eBook, because translation was pretty poor to Mobipocket form.

Little Fuzzy by Henry Beam Piper

Hugo winner. Decided to try. AKS

Logorrhea edited by John Klima

Looked interesting, plus really loved Cambist (Hugo 2008 nominee). But really… really… stupid flash app for the free Hugo 2008 giveaway gave me freaking headaches. Almost didn’t buy because of that horrible memory. Please, please don’t do that again. AKS.

Lord of the Isles b David Drake

Rollback by Robert Sawyer

“Sandkings” by GRRM

AKS. I now really, really, really hate ants.

Saturn’s Children by Charlies Stross

AKS – it could work out. But misspellings of “magic” can sometimes bode ill

A Shadow in Summer by Daniel Abraham

Starlight 3 edited by Patrick Nielsen Hayden

I actually like all of it. This is unusual. Where are 1 and 2? Although working out all the rights doesn’t sound like much fun.

[sample] “The Stone City” by GRRM

Crossing fingers that book 5 of SIF actually makes it out in 2008. AKS

Sun of Suns by Karl Schroeder

TFB

“Super Man and the Bug Out” by Cory Doctorw

Apparently there is also an audio version. YKC

Touch of Evil by C. T. Adams and Cathy Clamp

[sample] Uglies by Scott Westerfield.

Cuddle. But am disappointed that the rest of the series is not on Kindle, so am not sure the investment is worth it for the eBook version; I do have all the books on paper though. Hardcover wherever I could get it, which is hard as a late adopter let me tell you. AKS

“When Sysadmins Ruled the World” by Cory Doctorow

Really, really haven’t agreed with him of late.AKS

[sample] Year’s Best SF 4 edited by David G. Hartwell

Willing to try because he’s cute

Yes, nothing is stolen. Yes, I expect to buy up half the samples. Yes, I re-bought some stuff though I have the paper versions because I like re-reading them and frankly sometimes I want to re-read, especially after a nasty day. Yes, some of the Hugo 2008 nominees have prompted buying entire collections, despite annoying attempts to stop pirating despite the Hugo 2008 nominees being free.

By the way: every single Terry Pratchett book, I believe, is in AKS.
