Let's face it, Willy, you spend all your time reading FFL. :-D
Of course you can read FFL on the Kindle too! Do you have an Nvidia
Shield yet? I was given one a week ago to develop some products for.
Your grandkids would probably like it.
The nearby B&N is closing. There is a Half Price Books in Concord. I
also have a rare books store up the street. However he doesn't seem to
collect rare occult books. These town has more collectibles stores than
you can shake a stick at. We figure that most of these people inherited
the business and building from their parents and only need enough sales
to feed themselves and pay the property taxes.

So, you can read ebooks on a tablet or on an ereader like Amazon
Kindle, Apple iPad, Barnes & Noble Nook, or on a Pandigital. And, you
can view ebooks games, music, video, and magazines from iTunes, Amazon
and Barnes & Noble. The selection is vast and more are added every
day. Sure you can read an ebook on a laptop computer, but who wants to
lug one of those bricks to bed or out back to the outhouse? Go figure.
These days, most of the tablets are much faster than a year ago. Now
they've got a "2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800, upgraded from the TI
OMAP processors in older models. RAM got a boost as well, to 2 GB from
1" for better graphics.
We used to read books from the library all the time - did you know
that the public library can get any book you want through the
inter-library system?
We used to buy a lot of books too - we've got Half-Price Books stores
all over the place around here.
At one time we had hundreds of books stashed across three cities! One
guy I know who is a collector and seller on eBay has three garages
full of books and stuff! Has anyone ever considered how much their
stuff weighs? LoL!
How cool would it be to have all your stuff in digital form, so you
could access it with a few key strokes, instead of searching for days
for something to read? So, we've set up a separate desktop computer
with a flat bed scanner in the home office to work with Adobe and OCR
software.
This might interest anyone that lives in a rural area or those who
don't have easy access to a library or a local book store.
"...the redesigned Kindle Fire HDX. The update, which brings the
expected refreshed specs to the tablets, also adds a surprising new
feature to the mix: human customer support over a live video chat."
