Agatha Christie is out of copyright? Cool!
But I should hold off until I get a Kindle with more room on it...
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

Nook Colors has sim chips (or "mem-thingies" as I call them) that can store more data. I LURVE mine, esp. with the new update.
ETA: Huh. Gonna have to get me one soon. I'm at 77% full.

So, the oddest thing is happening with my new internet. It just goes out, usually later in the evening. Oddly, b.org is usually accessible. I loathe interacting with Comcast, but I suppose I have to call them.

I had several day battle with Firefox, which was taking several tries to open every page. Scouring the internet gave me a fix that makes no sense but works.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I can often load b.org when I'm having trouble with other sites.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that sounds like a DNS issue. Our DNS settings, if memory serves, last a donkey's age, but most sites don't.

We have Comcast and I feel like we reboot our router way more often than we did back in California when we had a small local cable/internet carrier.

Yes, I generally figure if I can't get to b.org, or it loads very slowly, then I'm REALLY having internet issues
