Mostly Fantasy, Historical, and books on writing. I like Mainstream and Lit too, especially mainstream and Lit short stories and anthologies. My (significantly) better-half enjoys non-fiction so there are quite a few of those on my . . . I mean our kindle.

I've got an eclectic mix, but the biggest categories would be fantasy and history.
I *really* do enjoy being able to sate a whim while on the bus or train to download a book I've suddenly remembered and get reading.

I have a lot of different types of books on my Kindle because I never know what I'll be in the mood to read. Today's Kindle Daily Deal was a historical fiction, and I don't generally read those; however, this one looked so good I had to pick it up.

The cheap ones. LOL. My price limit is about $4.
Besides that, I mostly buy young adult. It appeals to me the most.

I'm loving the classics like Les Misarables, Sherlock Holmes, 1001 Nights. I also grabbed a book about self-publishing and one about the creative process.

Mysteries and thrillers most often, also biographies. Some historical novels, westerns, books about WW2 and the Civil War, horror and even a little SciFi.

Am a bit all over the place with my buying lately. Have been snapping up Kindle deals, so I most recently bought Dava Sobel's historical books on sale, and Anthony Bourdain's fiction, and Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief.

Epic fantasy, urban and paranormal fantasy and sci-fi. I'm thinking of branching out into some mystery/detective titles for a change.

Thrillers and fantasy mostly. But I'm finding I'll take a chance on pretty much anything if it's cheap and I've discovered some new authors this way and books I would never normally pick up and turning out to be rather good.

I'm always a horror guy, but lately, I've been buying lots of crime/mystery/thrillers... and in no order in terms of content, author, etc. I've read everything from John Locke to Livia Washburn. I really enjoy the short, witty crime novels. The quick mysteries with interesting characters and cliche murders. I can't explain it, but it's just entertaining for me right now. I was bogged down at the end of the year with a horror novel (I'll leave it unnamed for respect since I haven't finished it yet) that was just SOOOO drawn out... waiting for each part to happen and everything was so detailed and not necessary, I needed a change. Oh, and I've been reading Louis L'Amour too... don't know why, I've never read Westerns before, but it's addicting! -jb  |

At first, it was a lot of classics but now it's mostly mysteries and YA.

I buy mostly fiction - fantasy, mystery, historical, Christian fiction. I think I have only a couple of non-fiction books on my Kindle. My husband is the opposite, he prefers non-fiction.

I find myself buying a lot of recently released books...I know it's not the cheapest way to do things but it's such a nice experience getting them in a few seconds. It definitely satisfies my instant gratification needs!

I have such a huge variety on my Kindle! I gravitate to YA and literary fiction at the brick and mortar stores but I'm all over the place on my Kindle. YA, mystery, nonfiction, chicklit. When the price is reasonable and the sample pages are good, there isn't much I won't buy!

I think fiction is selling best right now because a lot of Kindle owners are older teens and adults. Soon, a younger generation will only be reading through e-devices.

Sci-Fi, Horror and Mystery/Thrillers fill up most of my Kindle. I pick up something different every now and then, but that's mainly it.

That brilliant Delphi edition of all Charles Dickens works...I lnow I wouldn't be reading A Christmas Carol just now, for the first time, if not for Kindle.
Before that, the 1735 revised edition of Gulliver's Travels....there was a BBC documentary on about 18th century novelists and I realised I'd sort of skipped the 18th century for the most part, and the documentary gave me an impulse to go and visit it...
To give full disclosure, I'd already bought the paperback Gulliver's Travels and read a 3rd of it, when I got my Kindle...I tried to persevere with the paperback...but knowing I really wanted to be experimenting with reading on the Kindle...and this was distracting me from the story...so I got Gulliver on Kindle and switched over mid-book...
