If you wish to experiment with this exciting new Book platform I recommend content produced by Iain (M) Banks (http://www.iain-banks.net/   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iain_Banks) who manages to write good stuff in both the fiction and science fiction genres. I can't resist also recommending that you read at least one of Dan Brown's efforts who's writing style and use of language is such a massive contrast to that of Iain Banks. (See also the oratory styles of Barak Obama and George "Dubya" Bush.) The best way to obtain Dan Brown content is via your local Oxfam shop. They're bound to have some and you'll donate what you buy back again. If enough Dan Brown Books from Oxfam are bought from and donated to Oxfam shops them maybe, just maybe, some sort of cosmic balance will be reached.
