Wodehouse and Agatha Christie, some Westerns and sf that I will read out of paper books. In fact, I avoid reading ebooks that are more than 200-250 pages. Prashant C.

I don't buy bound books anymore, as I find it more convenient to read on my laptop's Kindle app. The downside is that there are many books I want to read that are not yet in ebook format. But I have plenty that are to keep me reading. (You are gradually persuading me to get back to Westerns, btw. I'm getting close!)
