Kindle Joy
Sep. 4th, 2010 08:17 pmWell its been an interesting week. It started well with the belated shipping of my new Kindle 3 ereader.
It shipped on Sunday, not Friday. I know it was only two days late, but those were a tense two days! Especially as the case arrived on Thursday, before the Kindle shipped. I am sure it kept winking at me.............
For some reason the UK got really behind with shipping, and couldn't meet the release date.
Anyway, by the time I got home on Tuesday hubby has upacked it and fully charged it for me (bless him), and within 10 minutes I had set it up with my wifi and downloaded the 14 books I had already bought from Amazon!
That's not the reason I bought it though, oh no, it was to read fanfiction on, I was trading up from my Sony Touch 600.
I use Calibre and converted all my PDF's, RTF docs, epubs, the lot, into MOBI format, and by the time I went to bed I had over 500 stories loaded, all set up in nice little collections. Everything reads a dream, even the PDF's flow correctly,
Its a joy to use, and for only £109 its an absolute bargain.............
