[FairfieldLife] Kindle?
There are mobile devices all over the house - Rita's got a Kindle, Rose got an iPad. 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.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Kindle?
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 BN 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. On 09/27/2013 07:42 AM, Richard J.

If I were to move to Sonoma to open an occult book store, I would call it The Third Eye. LoL!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Kindle?
The Tie Dye might be a more successful name. Get ready for some culture shock if you plan to move to Sonoma. On 09/27/2013 09:25 AM, Richard J.
