I started using the Kindle app on the iPad back in June 2010, and then frustrated by the weight and battery life of the iPad, I bought a Kindle in October. I've noticed a significant increase in the number of books I read as a result of both the Kindle app and the Kindle device. I now almost always have a book with me ready to read, since there's no additional weight to carry. This is borne out by the fact that I seem to have read 34 books in the last 8 months - that's just over 4 books a month, or roughly a book a week. (Note: I can't always affiliate link to the kindle version below, so beware.)

Of all of those, quite a few were serendipitous discoveries that I might not normally have read, but it was just too easy to click "Read Now". Christian Cantrell's books were a particularly happy discovery, almost like a futuristic Roald Dahl with the twists at the end of them. The Windup Girl was fantastic in a bleak BladeRunner "this is the future, deal with it" way, and The Forge of God was pretty harrowing (not least due to the ridiculous number of typos).
