Most of these books are at reduced prices. I have a Samsung tablet, so I know the Kindle app works on it. I do really think taking a look at those Kindle Fires might be worthy of a glance. They are dedicated to this reading structure and I heard they do not make a bunch on the tablets. They are interested in making money on the Amazon platform. So, the tablets are well made for the money. I might have a look at one if mine ever goes to that "heaven " for tablets.
One of my favorite books, and one that became the genesis of my interest in science fiction as a teen was 'The Martian Chronicles,' written by the late Ray Bradbury. Recently, I re-read 'The Martian Chronicles. Essentially, he wrote that he was influenced by the 'Mars' series written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I had actually never even heard of the series or 'A Princess of Mars' before, so I picked it up and read it, interested in finding out what it was that influenced the writing of one of my favorite books.
The Martians, as Carter soon learns, have an appetite for individual and group battle. Fortunately, that's just John Carter's style as well. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful reptilian though quite human-looking in appearance princess, and that drives the story for the better part of the novel. If you like science fiction, buy the book. It's the great-grandfather of much of the great science fiction over the last half-century. That it is still just as good one hundred years after it was written is testament to just how good a writer Burroughs was.
A Princess of Mars - Random House Books
What would it be like to be transported to another planet without a spaceship, guns, or even clothes? What would it be like to be plopped all alone in an alien culture with nothing to rely on but one's wits, strength, agility, courage, and ethics? What would that world be like if it was dried up planet with mere canals to provide water and its mighty seas were dried up? What if that planet had an ancient culture that had vanished with the drying up of the seas and all that remained were dead seas and hordes of savages roaming the dead sea bottoms?
What if these savages did not even give birth as we do but laid eggs and placed them in incubators for five long years? These are the questions Burrough must have asked before writing this terrific novel that spawned generation after generation of science fiction novels. At root, if you put aside the alien planet, it is a story of a mighty swordsman and a beautiful princess and the swordsman, blundering though he may be in the ways of women, has sworn to save this damsel in distress though a million swords be arrayed against him.
It is a story of a gallant Virginia gentleman and his love story to rescue over and over again his princess, Dejah Thoris. It is at times chivalry like the knights of the round table or the three musketeers. Burroughs, back in , gave his swordfighting warriors of Mars a few technological details, such as fliers that hovered above the seabeds and ray guns, but they preferred to fight with swords and fists and wear little but harnesses to hold their weapons.
The people of Burroughs' Mars had an atmospheric plant that kept the thin atmosphere breathable and navigation systems on their fliers, but they were, even the red martians, in numerous little city-states forever at war with each other. Burroughs wrote this story of chivalry and derring-do for a readership that craved adventure, but he gave them far more than just adventure.
He created mighty kingdoms and history and a whole culture that is just stupendous. No one before or since has created a sword and planet story quite as good as Burroughs did and this the first of the eleven Martian books was the best of all.

Virginia gentleman John Carter, unexpectedly transported to the perilous red planet, Mars, finds himself captured by the loveless Green Men of Thark. As Carter struggles to win his freedom—and the affections of fellow captive Dejah Thoris, princess of the rival clan of Helium—the fate of the entire planet hangs in the balance: I flew to the Red Planet and never returned.
Suddenly projected to Mars, John Carter found himself captive of the savage green men of Thark. With him was Dejah Thoris, lovely Princess of Helium.
And between them and rescue lay a thousand miles of deadly enemies and unknown dangers. It caught me in the left shoulder; but as my vision cleared a sight met my astonished gaze that almost made me forget the fight.
