Kindle For PC

I recently downloaded the Kindle for PC application so that I had an easier way to read the books I've found on the Gutenberg Project. I found that in addition to the great selection of books available to me on the Gutenberg Project website Amazon has a wonderful selection of the same kind of books available for free download. I went ahead and downloaded Alice Adams by Booth Tarkington and am currently reading and enjoying it.

First, I will say that I am surprised by how much I enjoy reading from that application. I am looking forward to purchasing books to read using the Kindle on my PC, and it makes me much more inclined to buy a Kindle when my budget permits. I like how quickly I can begin reading something new. And I like being able to bookmark where I'm at in the book, something I was unable to do when downloading the HTML file from the Gutenberg site.

There were some other books available for free that I downloaded, that are not classics, just books they've chosen to make available at no cost to interest people in new writers and genres.

I will be reviewing those as well. The first one I read was a romance novel by Brenda Jackson titled Irresistible Forces. It was a quick read. 

Next Up

I've decided to read Alice Adams by Booth Tarkington next. I know absolutely nothing about this book or story.  It won the Pulitzer in 1922. He won the Pulitzer twice, first in 1919 for The Magnificent Ambersons (which I've not read yet) and then again in '22 for this book.

I also found this book on the Gutenberg website.
