Does reading e-books make your eyes hurt?
I miss the days of them giving away great games just for voting.

Maaan, their website fucking sucks. The lag is so atrocious, i'm not sure how they expect anyone would want to vote in those conditions.

Their site is awful, there are multiple workarounds for the books

A couple months ago I ended up buying the biggest and heaviest goddamn book I've seen. Not because I wanted to, it was for a university course in physics. I wasn't even aware it was that big before I got it. It went totally unused, because you can't carry it to school without breaking your back, and I would probably have to start lifting to even get it from the shelf and look something up.
I'm really starting to lean towards e-book gang because of that book, because it would have made such a difference if I could just look things up on my (much lighter) laptop. On the other hand, some PDF editions are pretty annoying to read through if you need to switch between pages all the time...

So, for those that don't know, if you vote on this year's Golden Joystick Awards, you can claim one of five free magazines (or e-books) at the end. This has been tradition for a few years now. However, each person can only claim one magazine. So, unless you go through the trouble of voting multiple times and creating multiple accounts, you're stuck with just the one you chose.
Since it's free, I see no reason why we can't share our choices here with each other and make things easier for everyone. I've actually been collecting the ones from previous years. Personally, I like these rewards and having to choose just one is a bummer. I'll start:
