30 Days of Kindle Meme: Introduction

[desertvixen]

So, I was looking around for something to help me get through 30 days of posting to LJ, and considering some memes.  I've already done the 30 Days of Books one (click on the "30 day book meme" tag to find all of those entries) and didn't want to repeat it.

Then, I started thinking about how much the Kindle has added to my reading life.  I was already what you could term a voracious reader, but the Kindle opened me up to some new reading material, and made reading on-the-go a little more convenient.  Of course, you'll still generally find me with a book somewhere on my person, but the Kindle was definitely one of the best Christmas gifts ever.  (Thanks Dad!)

Without further ado, allow me to introduce the 30 Days of Kindle meme.  Googling the term didn't turn up one (just numerous references to other reading memes), so I feel safe taking credit for this one.  Feel free to do it alongside me and recommend it to your friends!

The meme itself :

Day 01 – Tell us about your Kindle and how you use it.  Is it your primary way to read, or something you use when you have to travel away from your paper ones?  Is everything neatly organized or just loaded onto the Kindle?  Tell us about your buying habits too – do you check the Daily Deal every day?  Or is everything on your Kindle free? 
Day 02 - How many books have you managed to fit on it?  How many of those books are still unread?
Day 03 - Best free book on your Kindle.  What sources do you get them from?
Day 04 – Best paid book on your Kindle
Day 05 - Your favorite series on your Kindle
Day 06 – A book on your Kindle that makes you happy
Day 07 –Most underrated book on your Kindle
Day 08 – Kindle title you didn’t think you would enjoy as much as you did

I should do this once I've had my kindle for longer than a month. :)

It can be a lot of fun.

Interesting. I have had a Kindle for almost six months (it was a birthday present -- I'd never have bought one for myself), and it has some enormous advantages and some really serious drawbacks. On the whole, though, it's a wonderful thing. And it's really good to be able to see what my own books (the ones I've written) look like on the Kindle, since I'm publishing them myself electronic-only.

Was the fact that Day 13 and Day 23 are the same question intentional?

Your first book does live on my Kindle, actually.

Day 23 has been fixed. It was not intentional.

I'm glad to hear it. I would love to know what you think of it once you've read it.

I read it awhile ago, and thought I had posted on it... until I looked back and realized that no, I hadn't.

I enjoyed it, although since I was reading along on your Nano deal, I knew what you were setting him up for - wondering how you were going to do the time-travel trick was fun. I liked the protagonist, the pacing, all of it.

That's good to hear. Thanks!

This sounds like an interesting meme.

I'm hoping it's interesting for me people than just myself... feel free to participate and share!
