The reason she is thinking tablet not pure e-reader is many of the books she needs are not available on Amazon. She not only needs to ability to read a variety of formats (which the paperwhite does fine) she needs to browse to websites to download the books. Otherwise It hink she would love a paperhite, but she needs to do light browsing to get the books. I guess she can download all the non-kindle books via her laptop and then transfer them via USB.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I love my Samsung Galaxy Tablet - the display is, frankly, gorgeous, and can be made very bright. The battery life is pretty good, as well.

I need suggestions for some kind of image management software. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for. It's for keeping genealogy stuff organized. Basically, I want something so that I can take a bunch of image files, and type up notes about each one. I also need to be able to search the notes. I'm sure this is something simple, but I can't think of what it would be called to be able to google it.

For costume design/costume shop purposes, I have used excel for this (putting the picture in a cell, and then using the columns to the right for specifics (character, price, etc). It was pretty clunky, but it did work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think database software like MS Access would be better for stuff like that than a spreadsheet.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Wait, doesn't Picasa let you tag images and search by tag? I haven't done anything with Picasa in several years, so I may be mis-remembering.

Is there a character limit for the tags? The images I'm talking about are scans of handwritten documents, and I want to be able to attach a transcription to each one.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's Flickr, which is less user-friendly than it used to be, but you could have a private account, and put the transcription in the image description.

I want to have it on my hard drive, not online.

It looks like StudioLine Photo Basic [link] might be able to do what I want.
