Kindle (again)

About four weeks ago I ordered one of them new fangled kindles. I got it yesterday and immediately looked to see how my financial stuff looked (after I had converted to an eBook format). WOW! Although I was a mite hesitant to spend the time massaging my tutorials before converting (since I had no idea what they'd look like), I reckon it'll be worthwhile to do more (and more). I won't be around that much longer so it'd be neat to have this stuff available to all, eh?

The print is so small, she squints. (Price? About $8.) So I connected (wirelessly) to amazon.com and downloaded the book. It took about a minute. (Price? About $6.) The neat thing? You can change the font size. You can also look up words ('cause there's a built-in dictionary) and it remembers where you were when you stopped reading (then started ag'in) and you can even ask the kindle to read for you: Click a button or two and the gadget speaks!
