I agree that the Wheel of Time Series was a bit long winded at times. The last 3 books that were co-authored by Brandon Sanderson were actually much better paced. Less describing of the minutiae and a lot more action / story. I have recently bought a few Humble Bundle Book Bundles. While the quality is hit and miss, it's decently cheap and are DRM Free. Usually you can get access to epub and PDF versions. Sometimes they have mobi versions and the comices usually have cbz as well. I got a good bit of the way through L. E. Modesitt, Jr.'s "Saga of Recluse". It's a fairly good / fun / engrossing read. I don't remember which book I stopped on and never got around to figuring it out. It didn't help that I started reading another series of books at the time. For the life of me I can't remember the name of that series. It had an interesting version of magic / technology. The main character starts out on a homestead where he raises sheep that have extremely tough wool that is used for armor, etc. It was also a fun read, but again I have no idea which book I stopped on. I should have all the books, but that would take a bit more time than I care to spend on it now. The nice thing about buying Tor books on my Nook is that they are DRM Free as well. I can back them up and read them elsewhere, if I so desire.
