Just got a new Phablet for my personal phone (which I rarely use as a phone since I have a business phone) with the intention of using it as a handy reader.
So, I need to get some software for it, both pick a reader app and get some books.
Any suggestions? (No fantasy/Sci-fi as I stopped reading that a long time ago.)
What to read next?

Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography. One of the best books in the world, and free.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

A Higher Call: An Incredible True Story of Combat and Chivalry in the War-Torn Skies of World War II
Just finished it myself, found it to be an engaging read.

No suggestions on what to read, but the Kindle is pretty much the standard for readers now, so you won't go too far wrong with a Kindle app.

"Sailors in the Sky" by Jack Sauter just arrived yesterday, courtesy of TBOH. Recollections of an enlisted aircrewman who enlisted in summer 1950.
30 years separated us at Millington but there's a whole I can visualize from personal memory of NAS Memphis and the area.

Go to Amazon.com, get the Kindle app and check their bargain book section...I've got 346 books on my device now and I doubt I've spent more then $45...Most were free and the others were $0.99 to $2.99 each.
The section is broken down to categories like Outdoor Sports and then Shooting, Hunting, Fishing; or History and then Military and Military Sciences; Fiction etc., &c., etcetera.
I've got Bronte, Churchill, T. Roosevelt, Selous, Turtledove, Leckie and dozens more.
EDIT
Also, check out Barnes and Noble for their app but they don't have as many discounted books available.

There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.
