I just had series one of Jamie and the Magic Torch and 2h of Chortlon and the Wheelies delivered.

I read once then horde booksBut using digital version means my horde takes up the same physical space as my music, video and comic collections.

I quite like the idea of your books sweeping across the steppes and conquering Russia. Your house must smell like horse, though. I don't like the smell of horse. Can I not come over for tea, please?

Space is a good reason to have a Kindle etce.g. for going on holiday and so on.
I just don't like the distinction between physical book (which you own) and ebook, which you technically only pay for a licence to read, which can be withdrawn - people have had Kindles remotely wiped by Amazon due to credit card problems they weren't even aware of, for example.

I like the distinction in having a reader that doesn't have wi-fi and therefore cant' be wiped by anyoneI also have a computer stuffed to the gills with non DRM epub versions of my books, so there is no licence issue.
Of course, if you were silly enough to actually pay amazon for the books ...

That said, there are a lot of other sites that will sell you non DRM epub versions of booksand then you also have no licence issue.

The good'n'bad with Kindle, is that your read-positions are snyc'd between devices.The downside is that they can throw a wobbly and it'll lose me £100s.

it's a film you either haven't seen, or didn't care about enough to recognise events within the plot skewed for vaguely comedic purposes on a "comedy" website.
To be honest, if someone started explaining it to you, the internet might fall appart with weird shut in geek types coming out of the lurker cupboard with their sweaty handed interpretations and inferences about a plot, that is in all intense and purposes very straight forward, but thanks to the rise of fan culture, and obsessions of certain of the neediest of our fare human race, turn everything on its head and see bizarre things within a story that just plain aren't there
TL:DR don't ask.

Hi purpledorisdo you have a job yet or are you still an outrageous drain on our fair society?
(, Wed 24 Apr 2013, 11:20, Reply)
Not yetSo I am still draining society but I have seen several very good opportunities which I am in the process of applying for- senior conductor with London midland, Customer Service supervisor at Bletchley Park, a few office manager positions...fingers crossed - I really hate being out of work.

Thank youIts bloody tough out there - not helped by the fact that I have to apply for jobs with a higher salary than I could accept if I was not living on my own. Its so much easier with two sharing the bills.....
