Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse... but you take a boat in the air that you don't love... she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down... tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.  -Mal

No, it's not Tink.  :rofl:

I got Ann an iPod Touch for her birthday and she loves it. She likes being able to flip through a book or listen to it being read. She's on the new Harry Dresden book and it's being read by James Marsters. And it not only backlit, but in color as well. :neener:

Amazon bought Lexcycle (makers of Stanza). Interesting move on their part.
And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

Wow!

For books available for Kindle, Kindle Editions account for 35% of sales


That is a staggering number. There was a chart showing that when the Kindle 2 was released it was around the 13% mark and now, after three months of Kindle 2, it's at 35%.

This is what Mr. Bezos said -

    Kindle sales are now 35% of books where we have Kindle editions — that's coincident with the launch of Kindle 2.

That's just stunning - 35%. Physical Retailers need to get really, really worried. Given that Amazon owns 8-10% of the books market, that means as more and more Kindle Editions become available we'll see 3-4% of all books sold be Kindle Editions.  And this is before Kindle DX and its impact.

James Marsters in a  Spike voice ?
It's nice here with a view of the trees
Eating with a spoon?
They don't give you knives?
'Spect you watch those trees
Blowing in the breeze
We want to see you lead a normal life

Gingi has 'misplaced' her ipod (we still have tons of boxes, bags, and stacks of her junk from the move back)...and she wants to get the 'touch' too. If she finds out it doubles as a book, look out!

We got Victoria a Touch for Christmas last year.  It's pretty freakin awesome!  She has Price Is Right on there and I LOVE it!  You can not only add songs, but videos, movies, and (as I just learned) books!  Now I want one!
