What's a Kindle good for?

[Cliphead]

Something to read while Microtulipe does it's thing installing OS, software, updates etc.

No more wasted time, I can read my collection of Terry Pratchett or <insert preferred reading material>, while waiting for whatever pile of tulipe to install.

Carry on.

I still can’t justify the cost of ebooks on the kindle, I mean for new releases I will just pay the £1 more & get the hard copy

You pay VAT on e-books. Also, annoyingly, I don't get my student discount on Amazon. Last few novels I've bought have been for Kindle. Bookshelves overflowing, so seems like a good way to cut back the crap. Techy books I prefer hard copy, as I haven't worked out how to quickly get to the bit I need on a Kindle (prolly user error).

People pay for ebooks? Astounding.

WMSS - certainly for fiction. And I'm being pushed that way for technical but I'll resist as I like writing and highlighting* in my technical books.

(I'm allowed guys - they aren't that precious and I paid for them...)

A friend who has a Kindle loaned me a usb drive with around 13k ebooks.

you can make notes and highlight sections in books, go to menu and there is an option for marks and clippings.

Same here, a mate gave me a couple of discs worth. I copied over a potted selection of those available and probably have more books than I can ever read!!
On a separate note, if you are going to the match tomorrow I expect to be in Bairds Bar with #4 son between 1 and 2pm tomorrow for a pre-match slurp. Would be good to catch up if you are about.
