Once started I really couldn’t stop turning pages, finished it at 01.40am, and had to be up at 05.00 to see to the stock!!! Oh well I so enjoyed it it was worth it. So out of my normal comfort zone, but so glad I was asked to read it by one of the grandchildren. Cheofrin

This scale is a great looking work of art, and it should look nice with just about any decor. It’s also been very consistent in its readings, and it’s nice not to have to “turn it on” before using. Just get on it.

It is also sensitive enough to weigh relatively light objects. My son and two cats are all between 10 and 20 pounds, and the scale gives their correct weight within seconds just by setting them directly on it!

I didn’t read this of my own choice, but for my book club. Another member chose it. Those who said they loved it said it was because it was such an easy and quick read. If that’s all you require of a novel, this fits the bill.
The character of Aibilene and her relationship with Mae Mobley is the best drawn in the book. I believe that’s because it’s what the author knows best. Her presumption to speak for the maids doesn’t ring true. She is not confident enough to give Hilly any redeeming qualities at all. She’s the villain so she must be completely despicable.
Year in the Life

It’s just a flash card. Lots like it. But this brand you can trust. I’ve had it for a few months and it’s doing a-OK.

I did a lot of research before buying my Kindle reader, and up front the only feature I knew I would be missing was library books. I realize amazons goal is to sell the device AND sell ALL the books you read on it. But learn from the music industry’s mistake, there are some books I will pay to read, and some I will only read if I can get them free from the library or hand offs. If ever there is a software update allowing library books to be loaded on the kindle without a complicated work around I will be that much happier with the product. As to the Whispernet, its useless where I live, so I load all my books via usb cable. If AT&T ever gets their coverage up to snuff that feature will be very nice (I did use it once while in a covered area). I did not think I needed a dictionary built in, I tried another Ereader without one, but now that I have it I do use the feature and it is great to have. I actually prefer that the device not come with a case, so I can chose one I like and want to pay for, but maybe due to the cost, a coupon toward a skin or case would be a good marketing feature.
They claim as long as you are not using the device leaving the screen saver on will not eat the battery, this is not 100% true. I did not have time to use my kindle for almost 2 months, and it had been inside its case with the screen saver on. When I went back to it the battery was totally dead. Just a tip, if you are not sure when you will be reading next, power the device totally off. The device menus are fairly easy to navigate, and the beginning tutorial right out of the box is a great idea.
