My new Ebook and old fiction.

Before we went on holiday I decided to get an Ebook, to have a few stories to read when it was too hot to go out.

Bought a Prestigio, the shop selling Kindle was closed and I thought, wrongly, any Ebook could download Kindle books. It came with some free stories, Alice In Wonderland, Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, etc.

Got to read them a little before I bothered to download more moder stuff and found them so good, I don't think I'll be reading much else for a long time. Just well written, gripping and not like the pulp fiction of today.

If you get a chance, try them. Found Dickens a bit over descriptive, but going to give him another bash soon. Same goes for Shakespeare.
