Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks. I don't know about verizon--I would be switching from t-mobile.

Also, is the kindle app for iphone OK? My kindle screen just perma-froze (this is the 3rd kindle I have had since December) and I can pay $85 for a refurb or get a new one. I have read 92 books on it, so it is worth it, I guess, since 82 of them were library books. On the other hand, I can just go to the library and get books now that it s summer.

Hey. New board.

The kindle app for iPhone is quite good, but you're still reading on a phone. I personally couldn't handle it as an exclusive e-reader, but I've also made my lovey dovey feelings for eInk known here for years since my Kindle Gen 1.

Have you called Amazon about your frozen Kindle? Their customer service isn't quite as amazing as when they catered to us early adopters and replaced broken Kindles for free no questions asked, but it's still pretty darn great.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Given it's not e-ink, yes. I love it. I also like how quickly it syncs (between browser, actual Kindle, iPhone and iPad) when I suddenly switch devices.

It's maybe too small for all of my reading needs but that is about the phone, not the Kindle app. And e-ink lack on the shiny screens, though I can totally read through the cloud Kindle thingie on the monitor for ages. I haven't picked up my actual Kindle in months.

I am pro-Kindle app.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Also, is the kindle app for iphone OK?

I love it. More than the Kindle itself, actually. (Just to provide you with a counterpoint to people who prefer the e-ink.) And the small size of the screen doesn't bother me a whit, and I am a very fast reader.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

do you think 2G of data will be enough.

I'm with Tom. I would say that if you're not streaming video over the cell network, 2 GB of data will be plenty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, I'm finally using Flickr in earnest to host and organize family photos.

I'm still organizing and uploading. What's the easiest way to move all photos from a set into another set?

Okay, now I'm in the airport and on the laptop. You can use the Batch Organizer to load the contents of a set and then add them all to a new set. You can also view the set, select photos you want to remove, and drag them down to the bottom to remove them from the set.
