I prefer fiction (sci-fi and fantasy) although some non-fiction creeps in sometimes. Probably 20-30 books a year. Most from the library in paper form. I have an original iPad and have read some complete books on it: about 7 so far. That said, as an amateur writer trying to hone his craft, that is the only way my novels are available. I just send them out to friends and family in ePub format for now as I haven't decided how I'm going to distribute them (Apple, Amazon, Smashwords, traditional publishing, oh my) to make money (it's my pension plan for after I stop DBAing). But in the end I'd rather my books were read than not read. What would George want? We should organize a seance. He certainly has no need for the money now and may just want his timely words read no matter how much it makes Amazon's lawyers shudder.

But I digress. I agree, Steve, that Amazon was very heavy-handed and Orwellian with (not really) their Orwell.
