So I'm currently borrowing my aunt's Kindle and I think I need an ebook reader of my very own. Car repairs mean I won't have the money for at least a month, but does anyone have any recs? Anti-recs?* Links to awesome sites with lots of fanfic ebooks?**

*I will not be getting a Kindle, because a) I hate Amazon and b) I pretty much hate the Kindle; why can't I skip to the last chapter? Why does it not tell me anywhere I can find how to follow the stupid quick links? Why does the user manual give me sort options that do not appear on the screen at any point?

**I know you can use fanfic downloaders and convertor programs and make ebooks, but I am laaazy. Everything I've put on the Kindle comes from this Ebook Library or Ralst's page here.

Hmm, I dunno. I checked a couple books on my Kindle (one that had been bought directly from Amazon & another that'd been converted and then loaded on via Calibre) and I'm able to skip to the last chapter on those. Maybe there's just something wonky with the way they coded the ToC (didn't include the last chapter).

(I know, right? A friend and I were saying that if they were going to be putting ads in the ebooks, then the retail price better drop accordingly.)
