dustydigger - 2016-04-15 5:04 PM I find the kindle rather disappointing on the SF front. There are huge gaps in the vintage SF available,and the prices are too high.My fave author,C J Cherryh,is barely represented,unless you read German! lol,so that makes me so not a fan of the kindle!

Consider signing up for Open Road Media's Early Bird mailing list. They offer one freebie a day, usually an old Public Domain work (and sometimes these are SF), plus several $1.99 specials, which are often from SF authors' backlists (for example, I got Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's collection Scarborough Fair for $1.99). I've picked up quite a few vintage SF works this way -- but as I'm not really interested in reading vintage right now, they will just sit in my library until that changes.
