I just finished reading A Game Of Thrones (all five books). Read all of them using Kindle app. Excellent series.
Just now starting Neil degrasse Tyson's Space Chronicles.

Well, I finished an audiobook called Ready Player One, by Ernest Kline (i think).
Read by Will Wheaton even.
Grea book, lots of fun

Check out "Wool" in the Kindle store, series of 5 novellas that are pretty intense.

Game of thrones had been the best series I've read in a long while. Terry pratchett takes up a huge section of my bookcase.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just downloaded the series and will post thoughts later.

I read Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential as it was on sale at the Play store and I am pretty interested in cooking. Really good book, definitely recommend it if you are interested in cooking or the restaurant business in general.
Bought the Hunger Games trilogy for my wife and currently reading it now because I was curious' I'm on Catching fire right now. They are okay so far.

My first response is always Sherlock Holmes for mystery, Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the best and should be free on Google Play.
Let me stew on this for a bit, but I have heard some great things about the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy.
Edit- More horror than thriller, but I loved Horns and Heart Shaped Box, both by the amazing Joe Hill.

All of the circle series books by Ted Dekker are great. He also has another series that falls in with the circle series called The Lost Books. There's 6 of those.

I need some good books to read, I haven't read a book since Of Mice and Men and that was 3 years ago! Haven't got a clue what sort of books I'd be into since I don't read much.

Just read Gone Girl. Pretty twisted stuff.

Lol. Well, it's difficult without knowing what you like. Have you read The Hunger Games? That's a nice fast read, pretty exciting too.

Nexus 7 Used Guide is a good one for you guys to read . Jkjkjkjk

I read way too much, although some books are just that good. Anyway I don't know how old you are or what genre exactly your looking for but mystery/ thriller. Actually tell me what your looking for and in that genre do you care/like if its gory. If your looking for ya books I can recommended some. I read most genres except romance and hardcore SciFi. I'll think of some good authors. Right now its been top ten for a few months is gone girl by gillian Flynn, but her other books imo are much better like dark places . Another decent thriller that's been pretty popular lately is cj Lyons books the FBI thrillers.

Try kindle. Works very well and there are often offers. I've just read on exsellent book by Ken Follit 'Eye of a needle' which I found on the kindle store for 20p (UK). These offers tend to be 'one-offs' and disappear very soon after they appear. Search 'mostpopular'

Definitely a +1 for the Game of Thrones series (I'm halfway through the third book and it's just getting progressively better). I also strongly recommend the Hunger Games books and the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (as previously mentioned). If you like crime fiction then James Patterson's 'Alex Cross' series is a good, light, read.

Just a heads up this app does NOT like JRO03S at all.. consistent crashes and a horrible experience.

The game does not like my GNex, constant crashes usually always 20 mins into the game.

I beat normal lol focus on transmission and do t worry about lethality till it spreads everywhere then crank it up and watch em go lol

O.k this is kinda cool, fun to play when you're in a destructive mood! Only played 3 times lost twice on normal but wiped out the world in 540 days on casual
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Have it on iOS but on the iPod it was just too hard to play. Nexus is perfect size.
The trick on the first level is devolve symptoms immediately when they mutate until the entire planet is infected. Store up as much DNA as you can so you can become lethal as soon as you decide to pull the trigger. I had 124 DNA points when I decided to start killing everyone.
Game is superb fun. Great music too.

I've bought a few in-game purchased to help me along, the best one is to auto-pop the bubbles. I've been able to decimate the globe on casual after only playing it about 5 times, I just can't beat it on normal. Its either that I make it too lethal before it spreads everywhere or I make it spread everywhere and kill half to 3/4 of the population but then they cure it.
The game also annihilates my battery, I'm running Clemson's elite kernel and when I have the game fast-forwarded it takes up so much power that even when I have it plugged in it won't charge the battery but just sustain the current level and maybe decrease it by one or two percent!

What happened to Amazons app store? All kids stuff now

The free app of the day used to vary between games and useful apps, now its always kids games and all the things on the main screen are little kid games, is there a new setting im unaware of or do they just suck holy hell now, im ready to un install the pos!

It makes sense for them to feature those apps right now. Given the proximity to a kid-centric holiday and that their target demographic is Kindle Fire toting soccer moms, they're going to put apps like that front and center right now. Same can be expected for Christmas.

I dunno if the free apps differ by region, but here in the UK Jamie's 20 minute meals was free yesterday, Jelly defense before that (currently in play store for £2.45) and thumb keyboard was also free recently. It's still worthwhile checking everyday.

Yup, it's mostly rubbish, but still worth checking; I find a few a month I want, here in the UK.

I think it needs to get slower and more non responsive when trying to install apps from your library! Then it won't matter what apps are free .

I was trying to be sarcastic. The app is terrible on my devices (Galaxy nexus and nexus 7). I have a hundred or so apps on the 'cloud' from Amazon. Browsing the list and trying to install them is like pulling teeth. It's slow and not responsive. Button presses offer no feedback and seem nonfunctional most of the time. Is it not like that for everyone else?

+1 laggiest apply in a long while.

Amazon free apps have been crappy. I still take a minute out of the day to check it just in case. Every once in a while, something good comes around. Audubon birds was a big score for me a few months ago.
I do wish you could "purchase" without having to download, even though install is optional, still uses space.
It's been laggy for me too, especially when trying to delete apps off the list. Accidentally discovered that feature a couple nights ago.

I can't believe Google has evolved so much in a relatively short time and taken up such a huge portion of my life! They have always been one of my favorite companies, and now they may be at the top. I've used their search engine as long as I can remember, of course it's my fave. They give me a free minimalist browser that even my ****ty old HP laptop can run. I bought a Google phone and fell in love with Google's mobile OS, that's free too. Then Google thinks, hey, lets automate search.. And they give me Google Now! Baked in is the best damn mobile voice recognition system I've ever used. I cant believe Google was able to pretty much master the art of talking to a phone, I seriously ask my phone several questions a day, and do it around people with confidence that my phone will understand me and speak back relevant information. It does. Throw in all the different "cloud" storage options they have for free: gmail, contacts, voice, g+ instant upload, drive, etc.. I love Google. I'll never have to enter my contact numbers in a phone again. I have to pause, smile and reflect on that for a second. Or how about freaking satellite pictures of the earth wherever you want, or 360 views from the street. All free again.
Google isn't perfect, sometimes they make me throw my hands up wondering wtf they are thinking, he'll sometimes I complain about it to other XDA members thinking the same things. I know Google makes good money off us (and businesses) through its services.. But from the consumers standpoint, Google offers an almost infinite plethora of options for FREE DOLLARS. And since Google is moving towards all those services being much more tightly integrated, I can't wait to see what they have in store for the future!

Anyone have insight on when this may get resolved? Should I go back to 4.2.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

It will be resolved when app develops resolve it.

Considering that the OS has been around for a bit over a week I'm amazed at how many apps ARE compatible.
If you have mission critical stuff, by all means go back to or stay with 4.2.x until the specific developer updates.
Otherwise enjoy the new OS and be patient. The good Devs are on it...

Use Google currents and add Engadget under the science and tech section. I never used currents before, but its quite convenient once you get all your reading apps incorporated in to it.

Well worth it being without a few apps for awhile.
This is the price we pay for being the very first to get these updates. I don't mind it myself but for those that are bothered just wait for a free weeks before upgrading next time to give the app devs time to catch up.
Food anyone have the amazon store.apk? Not the app store but the app for the regular store. I think it will work but play store won't let me download.
