NO I DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM!!!!! WHY????? BECAUSE I AM LIKE THE PLAGUE TO KINDLES!!!! MY PRESENCE DESTROYS THEIR VITAL ESENSE!!!!!!!!!

But I do have a stupidly large number of free ebooks.

Luna

I have had to be very stern with myself...  I sneak to the "Kindle Bestsellers" page and restrict myself to the "Top 100 Free" listings.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

The Kindle has taken my normal cycle of not finishing books and amplified it by 10. Normally I buy a batch of books, get halfway through most of them, get a new batch of books, get halfway through them, go back and finish the first batch, and finally get a new batch. Repeat until death.

Now its worse because while in the past I could isolate myself with one book and say "I am going to finish this book" now I have all of them, at all times. I think Im going to sit down and finally finish this book when all of the sudden my ADD kicks in and Im reading Gravitys Rainbow.

Glittersnatch would be a rather unfortunate condition, if a halfway decent troll name.

Who needs color books?  :?

OK, other than cookbooks and picture books.

Graphic novels as well.  I have developed a shameful addiction to them.

Yeah.

I'm not talking superhero garbage here, I'm talking Ellis and Hickman.  Both of them, incidentally, use color as cues to the storyline.

Yeah, for stuff like that a black and white e-reader would be useless.

Both of which write superhero comics and both have done it really well. They are amoung the handful of writers willing to make superheros interesting.
For comic reading I would suggest a tablet over a kindle. Screen size and resolution make it more tollerable though nothing beats having the physical copy in your hands.

Agreed...  I haven't bought an actual physical BOOK (aside from RPG books) in ages...  But I still get my comics on paper.

Yes, but they also wrote things that I personally like to read.  Which doesn't include superheros.  Not knocking the genre, I just plain can't stand it myself.

Nope.  The closest I come is Planetary by Warren Ellis, and only because of the bronze age of pulp feel to it.
