Edit: must read full thread. Meh. The HBO series is news to me. I'll certainly have a look at that.
Well yeah, naturally. That's the first book in the series.

It's gritty, but fantastic at the same time, and the writer paints a vivid picture without filling a chapter on the details. A great start so far.
I should mention this is my first Kindle purchase also; got it on my Droid X. Does anybody with Kindle experience know if I can transfer my book to a stand-alone Kindle device later on? I was highly considering getting one for myself for my birthday.
If your local library offers ebook/audiobook downloads you'll want to consider the Nook. The Kindle is not compatible.
To answer your question - you should be able to x-fer it to a stand-alone Kindle. That's a selling point for Amazon.
Cool, good to know! I plan on getting a kindle for my birthday for a larger screen, although a Droid X makes a pretty nice reading devise also to be honest. If the screen were any smaller however, it would be awkward. Thanks for the heads up on the nook, however can the nook read kindles? If so, then I might have to weight my options carefully.
