I've used them many times. Their cables are not the highest of build quality - the optical cables I got from them are kind of annoying to bend and tend to come out of the devices they're connected to, but work great when not jostled, and I got several mini-plug to mini-plug cables to connect devices to Aux jacks in rental cars, all of which died pretty quickly, while the bright pink one we got at Radioshack for maybe double the price is still going strong. But their HDMI cables have been good to me, and I've used them for speaker and TV brackets happily in the past. So basically, I've got mixed feelings.

Can anyone tell me why my iCloud doesn't reconcile with my iPad and iPhone? I thought that if I updated on one, it would automatically update on the other. I updated a bunch of my contacts on the phone, but it hasn't translated to the iPad.

I'm having the same problem with my Safari bookmarks, Vortex, so maybe there is a problem with iCloud (it's worked for me fine before) or it's very slow or something. I actually spent significant time trying to fix it today, and thought it was okay, but now it is not again...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just started reading a book on my Kindle Touch while eating dinner. I thought it would be complicated and scary, but it actually worked out really well! I could lay it on the table and then turn pages by tapping with my clean left hand. It was actually easier than reading a real book while eating!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When you say scary...

I mean extreme fear of getting it dirty and ruined and it malfunctions and explodes.

Yes, I can see how you might think that.

Vortex, on further experimentation, I can sync Pages so I don't know what the deal is. Have you looked at iCloud.com to see if your contacts are correct there? The only other thing I can think of is maybe a preference setting gone awry somewhere along the way - there are individual settings within the iCloud settings on each device that may have been accidentally swiped off.
Eta: and I tried editing a couple of contacts and it took a while for the changes to propagate through the various devices. Maybe half an hour, but I bet there's a lot of variance as to how quickly the syncing happens.
But I am making no progress with the bookmarks. Now I have two History folders on the iPhone and none of my regular bookmarks. Weird.

Hey. New board.
Wait until you try putting it inside a quart-sized freezer bag and reading in the tub. It's the best!
