I admit that I did not read, and have not read, the Dark Is Rising books. At that point in my life, my interest was Lloyd Alexander. (I skipped Animorphs entirely because I was already too old to be the target audience when those were released.) Shortly after that, though, I got into Weis and Hickman, but I agree: Death Gate above Dragonlance (... and -- unpopular opinion -- . A recent attempt at rereading Dragons of Autumn Twilight was ... less than productive. I kept seeing the die rolls in the writing, if that makes any sense. :-P

This is not to say that I disdain all young adult books (barring Harry Potter, which I enjoy, though I would have written parts of it differently), but most of them are not for me. I used to dip into them to see what my kids were reading, but it still feels weird to have it exist as a category.

I use my Kindle for books I cannot get in other formats. E-books are ... different. They read like fanfic, and are formatted and structured like fanfic, even if the material in them is (theoretically) original. For book books, I still go all physical, and I doubt that hoard is going to disappear any time soon.
