We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

WELP! Just took laundry down and one of the mousetraps I put out in the great invasion this winter had caught one! I don't know when, but it wasn't dried out or anything. Yeaarrrrgh.

Now this means I need a o check those in the basement closets.

I don't want to.

Because books.

We got those storms, around 3 p.m. Torrential, with flash flood warnings! Good times.

Forgot to add, Dana, can't you just email docs to your Kindle? That's the way I do it. Not with a Paperwhite, though, admittedly.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

can't you just email docs to your Kindle?

I could, but I have a whole system with collections and fanfic and stuff.

That makes sense.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's what I do, but I was pretty sure you're way more organized and invested and stuff.

You know what I really want on the Kindle (and if someone knows how and can tell me I'll love you) is the ability to sort titles by % read. I got tons of TBR stuff but once it falls down the list enough I'll never see it again most likely.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Mm, that would be nice. I just sort by recent, scroll to the last page and skim titles going up until I come to something with a low percentage. It's not great, but it's a system.

My problem is I'm totally visual, so with the Kindle, out of sight means out of mind. I don't use it as much as I read physical books, and I just completely forget what I have on there.

I do a lot of side-loading things onto my Kindle with Calibre.

Oh, that reminds me of a question I had! If someone were to get UK-only Kindle books saved to a USB drive, they should be able to be opened in Calibre and saved as something other than .mobi files, right? And then be loaded onto a non-UK Kindle?

(I am going to get the digital versions of those Tanith Lee books one way or another.)
