I don't know that it is available on Kindle, but check to see if they have "Bridges at Toko-Ri".
I found it in a pile of loaners at a hotel in Cancun last year and couldn't put it down till I finished it.
Not a long book, but it killed a couple of days.

I really enjoyed "Empire of the Summer Moon". It's about Quannah Parker and the Comanches. And it's available on Kindle or iBooks. I enjoyed it so much I read it 3 times.

"Donner Party Recipes" by Anon.  "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. Makes you stop and think a bit to understand it but doesn't flabbergast one with higher math. Interesting that you like non-fiction, I do, too. Just can't really get into made up characters any more, whether in literature or on TV.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

Both will lock down your brain for hours at a time. Great way to enjoy a storm.

Can't say if it's a good read as I pre-ordered it on paper (available on kindle), but 88 Days to Kandahar looks like an interesting read.
