Sorry for the alignment the copy and paste didn't quite work. Willing to sell or trade.
sugarbear, there are some great books in that list. In fact I’d give most of them a high rating.
My Bali observations here - http://baliquest.wordpress.com/
Thanks, I prefer real books for reading on the beach, they survive accidents better!
I finally got my Kindle and I absolutely love it. Before I bought it I was buying ebooks from Amazon and reading them on my computer as I am sure it would take a long time to become available in Bali, like the Steve Jobs biography. I find that I have been reading a lot more than usual. I find it very easy to read on. I got the most basic model which works great, the only thing I don't really like are the buttons to turn a page. I am sure Steve Jobs would have done a much better job with the design. I wish they were available when I was traveling more. For some reason I thought it would have a back lit screen, but no it doesn't. Apparently you can get cases that have a light built in, which I will probably order. Obviously you wouldn't want to bury it in the sand, but I don't think I would have a problem taking it to the beach. Of course I am a little sad that paper books will go the way of CDs, but for anyone living in Bali who likes to read, I would say it is a must have gadget.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.
I would recommend the second hand book swap at Dijon Cafe by Simpang Siur! It usually has some classics as well as some more modern stuff with kids books and lots of (trashy) romance novels to boot! I think you'd have the whole family covered by going there. It's on the last Saturday of every month from 12-3pm. Bring one book, take one book; bring 5 books, take 5 books - simple as that! Only English language books and totally free (you don't even have to buy a drink in the cafe as it is outside ;)
Hope it helps :)
Cheers,
Steve
