I'm exclusively Kindle now, but there's one thing where it really lets me down. Being an avid reader of military history, maps are an important part of many of the books I read on various campaigns, to give an orientation of how battles progressed. But on Kindle, maps are too small to read, and unlike the text, you can't enlarge the feckers.
Mega convenient for taking away on holiday with you though. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Finally getting towards the end of this. Not getting much time to sit and read these days.
Time reading this has been patchy, but its a fairly good read. Funny with some decent insights and thought provoking stuff. Fairly self indulgent.

Yet more great Sci-fi
"We are Legion - We are Bob" (Dennis E Taylor) is not as silly as it sounds. This is great space exploration with a touch of nicely weighted humour. Fantastic book and part 1 of a trilogy. Highly recommended |

Loved the 1st book, halfway through the 2nd.
Hell Divers - Nicholas Sansbury Smith
More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Ageing and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers—men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.
