Install a "read it later" type extension to your pc browser.
If you come across an interesting article online, but haven't quite got the time to read it, you can send a nicely formatted version to your Kindle, with one click.
Much easier reading long articles on an e-reader than scrolling up and down on a pc screen, in my opinion.
Once you've saved a number of articles, you effectively end up with sort of personalised magazine of short content to read, at your convenience, all nicely formatted.
You
might find that you save so many interesting articles, that you haven't got time for actual books!
I use "Pocket" on my Kobo, there are alternatives for Kindle, like Instapaper.
