Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Look also for refurbed/old models. My parents got me one at McFrugals which was about half the price. I presume it was an overstock.

Thanks! I know they have them at my local Costco, but I don't know what model it is...I will have to check it out.

Wait? Kindles can cruise the web?

Hey. New board.

Wait? Kindles can cruise the web?

A bit slowly, but yes. Not bad for smallish text-based pages.

It is sort of like cruising the web on my phone, but, um, slower. I did figure out my mystery-- I had to click near the top of the page to change my settings instead of going to "settings"
