Ha I knew there wouldbe people giving up on paper books :] However where reading e-ink is almost like paper I really can't get used to lots of reading on a backlit screen (assuming your tablet is like that). Anyway, TIL there's a thing called fanfiction. Any recommendations? I read practically all genres but since English isn't my mother language preferrably something without too much uncommon vocabulary.


Recommendations... woohoo. Depends on what fiction you like (I prefer Sci-Fi and Fantasy). I'll give you a couple I prefer.

For Buffy fans, [1] has a huge number of stories, both in-universe and crossovers with other worlds. [1a] to [1e] are a few of my favorite authors. Hotpoint's crossover between X-COM and SG-1 is absolutely amazing.

For other worlds, [2] to [5] are the most well-known sites for fanfiction. One of my favorite stories is [6].

What I normally do is I download the stories in the .mobi format - tth and ao3 have that feature in the site, and for the others you can use the FanFicFare plugin for Calibre - and then upload them to my Kindle. This allows me to read in bed, which is bad for my sleep but I like it :)

By the way, English isn't my maternal language either - reading a lot of stuff on the internet is pretty much how I learned it.
