I have had my Kindle for approximatley 1 month and find I read more now than I did without the Kindle.

I think the Kindle is an exceptional product, but it has a restriction that I just do not like. The inability to share books with friends or family members is jst not right. If I had paid more attention to this area of the product, I probably would have bought a Nook. The reluctance on Amazon’s part to share books is an effort to raise their revenue in electronic book sales. I think, Barnes & Noble, has it right. I bought the book why should Amazon restict who I lend it to. If I had purchased a printed book, I could lend it to whom ever I want and for as long as I want. The purchase price of an ebook versus a printed book is not that significantly different for the buyer (depends on where you buy the book). The cost of printed versus electronic is significant and will provide the seller with a nice profit.

Enough complaining. The battery life is very good, especially if you turn it off between reading sessions. The system turns on and is availble for use quicker than the Nook. The font sizes are acceptable for just about anyone. The screen changes from page to page are just as fast as turning a page on a printed book. The 3G functionality works better than my phones 3G in the same spot. I do not have WIFI, as it is 2nd Generation, and do not miss it. I use my laptop for that purpose.

The search for new books on the site works relatively well. You do not always get all of the books you expected, even though they are on the site and can you find them searching for the title rather than the author.

The need to select the orientation of the screen is a little hokey, especially when so many other devices have that functionality built into the programming.

As I read everyones reviews, they kind of give you summary of what the story is about. So i’ll skip that.

Stephanie Meyer takes the concept of Vampires to a whole new level. Still dark, mysterious, but not so sinister that you want to stay away. Just the opposite in fact, after you pass the point of him introducing himself and the meadow scene..YOUR HOOKED! You cannot help but to be part of the forbidden love. The author tells the story perfectly that you feel your right there. I’ve read a lot of a books and some authors take too much time in describing too many minor details..Not Stephanie Meyer.

Its more of a challenge to complete this book and not pick up the rest of the Saga. The infectious craze you see and hear, you’ll understand why and realize that you are NOW apart of it too. ENJOY!!

Wondering what to read next..check out VAMPIRE ACADEMY or what Stephanie Meyer recommends City of Bones..great read too!!

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is a passionate love story between two star-crossed lovers, introverted teenager, Bella Swan and forever seventeen-year-old vampire, Edward Cullen. After moving to a small town to live with her father, Bella falls madly in love with Edward, an extraordinarily handsome, enigmatic classmate. The love and desire between them grows intensely keeping the reader enthralled with this breathtaking romance. The book is packed with engaging suspense too. It’s the kind of novel you won’t be able to set down even after the last page. It will haunt your thoughts and you will have to buy the sequels. It’s the modern Romeo and Juliet, but so much easier to read.

Edward Cullen, though entirely a fantasy character which is the point considering he is a vampire, is the “ideal” dream boy, nearly every girl’s fantasy for true love and romance. My only fear with the wide popularity of this novel is that girls may gain unrealistic expectations in dating and marriage, forever looking for their own Edward Cullen, who is an unrealistic personality type in real life. That thought aside, I highly recommend Twilight for pure rapturous entertainment.

I sent email to BoBoTECHNIC asking about the $4.88 “shipping charge” for the Transcend 8Gb Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card and an offer for a free SDHC Card reader (worth $4.99). During Amazon Checkout I noticed the “shipping charge” for the two items had doubled to $9.76. I sent an email asking if they really intended to do that considering an SDHC card and a reader would not “cost” $9.76 to send.

I GOT NO RESPONSE.

So I guess that’s how the pad their profit. AVOID THIS SELLER. EXCESS SHIPPING CHARGES ARE NOT APPROPRIATE. Non-response to E-mails is also not appropriate for a legitimate business.

I remember back a few years ago when I wouldn’t be caught dead reading a book (sure I read Harry Potter, but that’s pretty much obligatory now in days). Artemis Fowl changed that.

Main Character: Meet young master Artemis Fowl Jr.,son of criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl I and heir to the Fowl fortune. Oh, and I did I mention he’s also a twelve year old genius?

Plot: Just from reading the sypnosis you know that this book is bound to be interesting, and while it may seem a bit confusing and hard to pull of, trust me when I say that the author knows what he’s doing.
Young Artemis’s father has gone missing after an accident involving the Russin Mafiya. He’s been missing for about two years now and has even been declared dead. But Artemis still hasn’t lost hope, and won’t stop at anything to rescue him. But just how does he expect to gain enough money to search for his father and restore the family fortune? Simple. Kidnapping a fairy. That’s right, and after getting his hands on the Book of the People (a.k.a the fairies’ bible), Artemis learns of the famous fairy ransom gold. He uses this and some other knowledge provided by the book to kidnap none other than Captain Holly Short (our other main character). Why Captain? Well it just so happens that Short is member and first female recon officer of the LEP, the Lower Elements Police (try to imagine the CIA about a hundred years from now. Yeah, it’s that advanced). Obviously they’re not to happy about this, and will do all it takes to get one of their best officers back. It’s super high-tech LEP vs. famous prodigy Artemis Fowl, who will win? Read and find out.

This book is simply spectacular and incredibly well written. The colorful characters, funny dialogue (except for some minor toilet jokes, but again very few and not that gross), and amazingly well written plot make Artemis Fowl a first class young adult fiction that can even pass as a decent adult thriller. Great action, fast read, and no nec

there is obvious confusion abounding in the world today. If people would simply read their Bible, asking God for His illumination on their reading, they would know who He is. this book is not the voice of God, but of a confused individual. don’t buy it.

This pedometer was a little difficult to set up. My husband is an engineer, and think he read too much into it. LOL. I kept reminding him, “this is not a missle”. However, after the hour it took to set up, we were very happy. Works perfectly,very accurate and it motivates me. The strap is nice, has a very tight grip and special lock. The only thing is it doesn’t keep track of movements on an exercise bike. But that’s OK. My husband uses it on the treadmill, and it works there. I like the readable numbers, so I don’t have to get my glasses! Great product, and our health insurance gives us credit for taking a proactive health stance.
