That's the next one on my "to read" list on the Kindle. Currently
reading "The Long Mars" by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter.

I love the freedom of my Kindle - or Kindle app on my phone - lots of
books at my fingertips, finish one and start another. Take an entire
library on holiday with me without worrying about baggage restrictions.
Not too worried about formats becoming obsolete - there are so many
books in the world I will enjoy reading once but don't need to keep
forever, but if it is a book I want to keep forever (or even recommend
or lend) I will track down a paper copy.
