Now Playing... my ebook library as it currently stands...

Because the Kindle 2 was announced today, with rumors circulating that Amazon will be selling e-books for certain cell phones, I thought I'd take a moment and share what's currently sitting on my Stanza bookshelf. I don't have and probably won't buy a Kindle, but if I can get the text onto my iPod touch, that's a very satisfactory result for me.

Here's the most recent 5 titles I've accessed:

• Daniel Suarez: Daemon.
• Edward Gibbon: The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Volume 1(No real reason for that, move along, nothing to see here...) Gutenberg
  
• Iain M. Banks: Use of Weapons. This month's Orbit Books special. $1.00 from various e-book vendors.
• Frank L. Baum: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Gutenberg.
• Edward Gibbon: The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Volume 2. (It's a long title, I wasn't exactly sure which one was which).

Here's what I've finished reading on it:

• Brent Weeks: The Way of Shadows. Dark Fantasy. Last month's Orbit Books special.
  
• Eric Flint / David Drake: An Oblique Approach. Science fiction, set in the Holy Roman Empire. Very good book, and available for free from Baen.

And I have over forty five more books on it. It's nice having a variety of things available. I've got Aristotle's Ethics, Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, and Thomas Acquinas' Summa Theologica. I also have Scott Sigler's Ancestor, P.G. Wodehouse' My Man Jeeves, and Rafael Sabatini's Captain Blood. Richard Paul Evans' 5 Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me. Wide ranging topics, from authors new and old.

So, let's say you have access to the world's library on a device - something becoming more and more true with every passing day - what would you be reading?
