Book recs for kindle?

[ekaterinn]

I forgot to mention earlier that this weekend what I thought was a textbook I ordered from Amazon was actually a very late birthday present from amai! That would have been a lovely surprise in and of itself, but I opened the package to find that she had given me a KINDLE! The neighbors must have heard me scream in delight. I can't wait to start playing with it. Best little sister in the world, seriously.

So, anyone got a book recs for the Kindle? On August 30th, I leave the country for a five-day trip to Canada to be in tragic_mathematics's wedding. I'll love to just bring my kindle and not any heavy books this time for plane and downtime reading! Anyone have any newer recs? I like sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, lesbian/gay fiction, certain YA, and non-fiction on science (especially biology, but not evo psych) and other topics. Cheap is also good!

Wow - thanks for all that! And I can't believe I forgot about fic - I'll have to hit up A03 before I go! The link to Baen library is also good - I'm going have to see if I can get my Cyroburn CD back from my girlfriend. *g*

I also didn't realise the sequel to Feed was out - I definitely want that. And I love the Liaden series. I'm so excited!

You can download the Cryoburn CD from the Fifth Imperium site above, if you can't get it back.

And Baen sells the Liaden series for reasonable prices; I haven't gotten any yet because I'm not sure where to start, not having read any before. I have heard good things about it, though.

I was glad to see that you made it through the storm all right!

The Liaden series is wonderful, if a bit too heavy on the romance in parts for my taste, and not as queer as it could be. But even with those caveats, I've reread all the books several times.
