E-readers are getting cheaper fast.
The Kindle is now $189, the Nook is $199, and a new Nook WiFi but no 3G is $149.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

iTunes update, right? I'll have to load that while I'm at class.
Ok, one last try before I just re-do it...anyone know how to recover a Word file? I was modifying a doc, thought I was closing without saving another document, and accidently closed the one I was modifying without saving.
I tried searching for .tmp files for today's date, and no love. Ideas?

Yeah, Sony is falling behind rapidly. I have a Sony PRS-600, but its big feature for me is the ability to draw notes on it with a stylus so I can mark corrections when going over my book. Not exactly a common thing. If I just wanted to read on it, the Sony readers wouldn't make the list.

I cry tears of....tears at you, Vortex.
I saw the Kindle at Target, and thought it was a cardboard simulacra, it was so thin and wee. LOVE.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Cardboard Simulacras would be a good band name.

A reader you're not using?! Bad, sad, so not rad.
(Ugh, that was awful.)

I have yet to see a kindle. I saw and hated the Nook. I have seen Sony's and while not thrilled they are OK and about 1000 times better than the Nook (IMO of course).
