Yes, I have gone over to the dark side and my Kindle is looking very lovely in its leather case with integral reading lamp (great suggestion, Nikki). I thought I'd road test it by downloading our next book group book - the mysterious and little known one about the broken eggs (see below). Despite the fact that there are upwards of 700,000 books available for the Kindle, Jim Powell's first novel is not amongst them. And neither is our September read by Roberto Bolano. My conclusion? That we are pioneers in the world of book groups and that Kindle and Amazon will have to up their game to catch up with us. Meantime, I can download all my holiday reading onto the Kindle and fill the space in my suitcase with extra pairs of shoes.
