In the last few months I’ve read:

  • Project Hail Mary, Weir
  • Fall, Stephenson
  • The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Gaiman
  • The Ultimate Earth, Williamson
  • The first four Discworld books, Pratchett
  • Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge, Resnick
  • A Memory Called Empire, Martine
  • A Desolation Called Peace, Martine
  • The first five Murderbot Diaries books, Wells
  • The Imperial Radch trilogy, Leckie
  • Annihilation, Vandermeer
  • The Kingston Cycle trilogy, Polk

For comparison, I think I read two or three books last year. It’s starting to be a non-trivial amount of money, even though they’ve all been the ebook versions, which are generally a little cheaper. Has anyone who reads a lot of SF found Kindle Unlimited to be worth the price?

    I buy via B&N, Kobo or the Play store. B&N and Kobo tend to have better quality epubs (embedded fonts, larger images) but the play store runs more sales. I don’t buy ebooks from Amazon, their deals with publishers don’t pay authors enough money. If at all possible I try to buy self published ebooks to support authors directly, same deal with magazine subs - I pay Clarkesworld and Lightspeed directly and download epubs from them.
