I actually downloaded the whole thing as a text file and stuck it into my cheap old mobile phone. There's a program that makes a jar file out of any text and makes it really easy to read on the small screen, and I can bring it aynwhere, or to be more precise, I don't have to bring anything extra, since I carry my mobile phone with me everywhere. Before you bring it up, though, I do prefer paper books, though I usually only read those before sleep.

Then I believe your mobile phone is a bit newer than the one of mine (Nokia 3310, working well still for 11 years!) :).
For me, it is a matter of half an hour trip to my work, and another half an hour back home. Not mentioning those times reading calmly at home, preferably with a glass of wine or whisky :).

I can see we're in the same ballpark here. Some personal recommendations:
* Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman (modern fantasy)
* The Passage, Justin Cronin (post-apocalyptic, sequel to be released September this year)
* Anything by Douglas Coupland (a lot computer/programming related stories, hilarious)
* The Hitchiker's Guide, of course.
I'll see if I can take some pictures of my bookcases this evening, I have a reasonably large collection that I'm very proud of.

A bit: Sony Ericsson K750, though it's a fourth or fifth one... I don't remember how many I've lost, only to buy the same model again.
