Not necessarily the best of both worlds, but certainly fairly large lumps of them.
It is legal to share accounts across three or four devices, init?

Yes, I have two Kindles and the account works on both of them, books appear on both of them (if that's what you are asking)Mini ipad running kindle.

We've got two of the early Kindle e-reader's, a Kindle Fire tablet and a Sony Xperia tablet. They're brilliant for travelling.
The dedicated e-readers are lighter, have better battery life and they're better to read on especially in sunlight.... even so I think we'll be staying with the tablets in future.

Well Kindle seems to be the popular choice. Cheers team.
Tablet isn't an option. Need an e-reader otherwise I might as well just get some extra battery packs for my phone (which come with their own hassles).

I'm missing something?
A tablet isn't much bigger than an actual kindle, is much more reader friendly than a phone, lasts tens of hrs for simple reading, has most of the reading functions of a kindle and at least an order of magnitude more functionality.

Price
Battery (weeks vs days)
Size (again, price. Slim tablet cost vs e-reader = more dollar dollar bills y'all)
Phone is big (Xperia) Don't need a tablet for any other use than reading (waste of extra $$$)
For better or worse that is where my mind is coming from =)

Do not recommend.

Killing Rommel, Steven Pressfield.
Fucking hell it was good. Historical fiction, WWII, tank warfare and Long Range Desert Patrol Group shenanigans. Got that authentic ring to it the whole way through, fantastic read of men at war.

This may have mentioned before but if you have a chance you should read 'Deep water and shoal ' by William Albert Robinson. First published in 1931 and the true story of a young bloke who pushed his yacht out from New York and sailed around the world. Told first hand, the writing is up there and one of those books you can't put down.
If you can find a copy that is ...
Currently reading Jonas Jonasson 'The Hundred year old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared'
Swedish dry humour at it's best

The Cold Dish, Craig Johnson.
It's the first Longmire novel. I liked it, I was a fan of the series so it's kind of interesting to see what they've done with the source material for the TV show. It's a good read, loads of dry Wyoming humour. If you look on Mighty Ape the books are stupidly pricey for what they are, though.
"channellling the Pleideans"
CHILDREN OF TIME by Adrian Tschaikovsky.
Holy shit, I loved this. Imagine. if you will, a dying Earth, terraforming projects then a war among the earth-men. A deranged Artificial Intelligence/human upload hybrid oversees a terraformed world so that the inheritors of man can get another start. But what if those inheritors aren't human.........?
Seriously this is fucking good. Especially the alien-y bits. Grab it if you see it you won't be disappointed: hard science fiction.

In the riders seat
The Sheep look up - John Brunner
Not my normal sort of book but a pretty good read, the not too distant future with pollution out of control
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."
"channellling the Pleideans"
that last line has stuck with me for years. Try and find STAND ON ZANZIBAR if you can.
If you like Brunner you might enjoy Christopher Priest. Seriously weird. Look for INVERTED WORLD

Of an enviable height
The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss
Best fantasy I've read in a long time. I guess you'd call it hard fantasy, in that it is a fairly realistic world, but with a bit of magic here and there.
A rags to riches story of sorts.... I can't say much without giving it away, but give it a shot. I've just finished the second book in the series.
