What disturbs me the most is why she would throw someone elses' life away like that.

So- how is it not renewable? I just am not sure how they came up with that.

I do not know enough about the nook to speak of the negatives of them. I can't talk about battery life because I do not know how long it lasts in a nook. I do however know that in my kindle the battery life is fantastic. I picked my kindle over all of the others because it serves my needs. I wanted an ereader. It does that perfectly. I think that as the new generations come along there is evidence that amazon listens to their customers and tries to put that into their product. They also try to do it better than anyone else. This just proves the old saying that you can't please every one.
I won't be slamming the nook because I think it is a good product. I had to choose one and I think that I chose the best product for me. When, eventually, I get my kids their ereaders it will be kindle. I am happy with the product that I have and everyone that has seen it speaks highly. So- I made a good purchase. It sounds like you did too, for you.

Don't forget the archives! Any book that is downloaded from amazon is kept in the archives. If ever your kindle is lost or stolen or damaged (heaven forbid) you do not have to re-purchase any of those books. They are there waiting for you. Which would be a little bit of a worry- as I have over a thousand books on mine and a few hundred in the archives. By the way- almost all of those books were free.
I know people that are happy with their nooks and that is great. I think it might be like a ford and chevy kind of thing- but I for one wouldn't trade my kindle for anything.

Both my husband and I said that if she stayed any longer we were going to find something else to watch. Just couldn't stand her any more. I am glad that I can look forward to watching again
I am wondering if she watches her own show? If there was any behavior that no one should be proud of- it was hers.

Just popping in to let you know that he wasn't isolated. He had neighbors "spitting distance" from his home. You really can't tell from this story but he lived in an RV and Mobile park. Kind of scarey to think that someone would do that to a person with neighbors that close. I hope they catch the person responsible soon.

I agree about some of the prices and the lending. I think that it does show that many of the publishers are just a little greedy. Since I have discovered the free books I don't have a problem with that. There are a lot of us that have a sort of protest going by refusing to buy books over a certain amount with the ceiling being around 10.00. I think it would be interesting to know how they figure out pricing. I have also found some of the books that I wanted were more expensive than paper back- most of those being much older books that I just wanted to replace without taking up room.
From what I under stand, the watiting list for the new release ebooks at the library are longer than the regular books. I read that the publishers have a set limit (or are trying to) for each of the library books, too. Which I find interesting.
