Location: UK		Mostly collections and anthologies, so far. I tend to download a few ebook collections to my phone so I can read a short story wherever I get some spare time.

The tricky part is finding stories that are the right length. I had a spell of reading Agatha Christie stories last year, and they were perfect, about 20 minutes long. Most modern SF stories seem to be a fair bit longer than that. I'm two stories into Pump Six and Other Stories right now, and they were both about 45 minutes, I'd estimate. There are some nice short ones in The Mammoth Book of Steampunk (not (yet) in the DB), but what I've mainly learned from that so far is that I don't much like steampunk.
