What's your favorite Kindle Short? 5 SBI contest
Have you ever read a Kindle Short Read? They're Kindle books, but generally quick reads of two hours or less. They're all the rage for writers and readers these days.
Naturally, I want to write one. Well, I have written one, it's been through a beta review and now I'm fixing it up for publishing. My goal is to have it published before the end of May. Here's a look at the draft cover (changes are happening):
It's a fun space opera (never thought of it like that but that's what one beta reviewer called it so I'm going with it) presented in small episodes - short reads of about 90 minutes each.

The Contest!
I've read a bunch of Kindle shorts in the Science Fiction category since that's what I'm writing. I have to say that they are all pretty much awful. Except for a few by already established authors, I never made it past chapter one of any of them (paid or free).
So I want to know if you've found ones that you liked and enjoyed so I can read them too!
Rules:
- Comment your thoughts on the science fiction Kindle short reads you've read and tell me the names of the good ones.
- If you haven't read any science fiction ones, tell me about any fiction short reads you've read, what was good and what wasn't so good.
- If you haven't read any Kindle shorts, tell you what you think about the idea of these little books. Do you think they're a good idea, and would you read one or do you prefer longer stories?
My favorite answer gets 5 SBI.

I didn't read any yet, because I do have a Kindle device. Now I saw that I can download it to use when I'm in a public transport, because they are fast. I also saw one that I think I will like, it's Race to Refuge.

Haven't read one yet. Probably won't. I like having the book in my hands.

I must say I haven't read any of the science fiction Kindle short reads but I do remember when they started being very popular in the children's section for bedtime stories with everybody wanting to get in on the action by writing their own children's stories as for me I would prefer to read a longer story so I can get myself lost in it, but on the rare occasion you can find a short story that hangs you on every word which can be a very satisfying read @ntowl.
