I'm covered up with terriers here, Andy. A lot of fun, but they wear me out. Little energizer bunnies that never stop!

By the way, my dad continues to praise all the e-books you sent. Burned a copy for my cousin and me. Gave me the cash for a kindle fire...he didn't want to shop.

hey jen, correct me if i'm wrong but isn't your dads reader a nook? because kindle is a different format and those books wont work on kindle

Dad's is a nook, but he has it in his mind that I need a kindle fire hd, because I like pictures so much. I'm undecided though...am thinking a plain Jane nook and a new camera lens. I'll decide when I get home and can properly surf/shop.
With the list of books you sent, I'm definitely leaning towards a nook.

I have one of these with 4g, and it's nice but the camera makes me insane. Fixed focus only, no flash, no zoom. It can't even scan a friggin' barcode. Apart from that, though, it's sweeeeet!
the only time i use cam is webcam to videochat with the boy in california

I just got a Kindle Fire, I know there is a lot of stuff you can do with them that I haven't figured out yet. I think it will be great for a movie on the plane when I go visit the kids. Also, figured out how to get my favorite knitting patterns on it, so I always have them available. There is a book you can get for free (I think today is the last day) Mastering the Kindle Fire: Sharon Vaknin: Amazon.com: Kindle Store with lots of good info in it. Haven't read it all yet, but what I've read has been very helpful.

That's about all it's good for. I dig the GPS and always-connected functionality of it though. I'm one of those no-cellphone types so this gives me a mobile that nobody can call me on :)

anymore i dont rcommend the readers nook or kindle just because the android tablets are so much more versatile.
with a free app called moonreader you can read both kindle and nook book formats and many more .
also the tablet functions are better than the reader versions

please dont anyone be offended there is nothing wrong with kindle or nook IMO the tablets just do more for the same price

i know apple has a CULT following. i have never drank that koolaid. i just cant see paying 2 to 3 times the price for a computer thats the same hardware and software as a PC. i have never had a problem with a PC that a windows for dummies book would not fix
