I ordered the Amazon Kindle at the end of February and had the device by the first of March. In that time, I’ve read the following books:
The Business of Software: What Every Manager, Programmer, and Entrepreneur Must Know to Thrive and Survive in Good Times and Bad (Michael Cusumano)
Death Masks (The Dresden Files, Book 5) (Jim Butcher)
Eric Sink on the Business of Software (Eric Sink)
Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur (Pamela Slim)
Fool Moon (The Dresden Files, Book 2) (Jim Butcher)
Grave Peril (The Dresden Files, Book 3) (Jim Butcher)
iPhone SDK Development (Adamson & Dudney)
Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions (Dan Ariely)
Small Giants: Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big (Bo Burlingham)
Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, Book 4) (Jim Butcher)
Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid (Denis Leary)
If we use March 1 as the Kindle start date, roughly fourteen weeks have elapsed since I acquired it. In that time, I’ve read eleven books, averaging 78% of a book read per week.
And this doesn’t count the books that I’ve been reading in print or via Audible. If we factored those in, I’m probably averaging over a book a week in total.
Wow.
