Yet another update of the percentage of the last 20 books I have read which are available on Kindle as of right after I wrote the post about Shadow of the Hegemon. That book was available on Kindle, the one that fell off the 20 was not, and none of the ones in between changed status, so the percentage goes up from 65% to 70%. For reference:

  1. YES – Shadow of the Hegemon
  2. NO – The Visual Display of Quantitative Information
  3. YES – Ender’s Shadow
  4. YES – The Elegant Universe
