Quiet morning?
Guess you're all at church.

Or getting my surprise birthday party ready.

U GOT KINDLE?

(I helped save b3ta! G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 14 Aug 2011, 11:15, archived)
I hart Kindle

(I helped save b3ta! spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Sun 14 Aug 2011, 11:16, archived)
They should calle the Kindle a Windle because people who have one are Winners and you only have to change one letter to say that, but then change it back to Kindle because people who have kindles are kind.
or something like that.

I really think they're ace, if I didn't read it on my ipad, I'd get one.

I love mine
battery lasts ages, it's small, light and pretty hardy. And you can store thousands of books on it. Wintimes.

I made the mistake of putting hundreds of books onto mine when i got it,
soon removed most of them when i realised that there's no way to quickly look through them.

Perhaps that's the reason Waterstones wasn't looted,

Sort them into collections.

(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Sun 14 Aug 2011, 13:14, archived)
It's still slow as hell.
Not that it matters anyway, i don't need to carry hundreds of books around with me.
(I helped save b3ta! well, Sun 14 Aug 2011, 13:17, archived)
I've never understood the putting hundreds of books on,
but then it can take me six months to read a book. I shove all the ones I have read into a collection so that they aren't cluttering up the home screen, and I have another collection for guide books. That's all I need.
(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Sun 14 Aug 2011, 13:19, archived)
I delete once i've read them, generally i'll only have 3-4 books on there.


Edit: six months to read a book?
(I helped save b3ta! well, Sun 14 Aug 2011, 13:21, archived)
That's just the modern version of burning books.
You're no better than Hitler.

Also, not always six months, but I'm not a particularly fast reader and I'm easily distracted.
(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Sun 14 Aug 2011, 13:26, archived)
Get one anyway.
Reading on a Kindle screen is a world away from reading on an LCD screen.
(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Sun 14 Aug 2011, 13:15, archived)
Although I know exactly what you mean, I don't have any problems with reading from the ipad screen, I put the brightness down (which doubles as a battery saver) and in the kindle app they don't use black'n'white (unless you want too) as the contrast is to
high for the eye on an LCD at prolonged periods.

You can get loads of books on torrents
just type in Kindle or ebook. Use something like Calibre to convert formats.

Calibre is really useful, also some sites for anything you can't find as a torrent.

pff.
Amazon are really good at replacing Kindles apparently. I bought one of the dodgy cases and they replaced it with a more expensive one, with no questions asked.

Unless that guy dropped it in a pool or something.

(I helped save b3ta! WormuIus, Sun 14 Aug 2011, 13:07, archived)
I don't really understand where his beef comes from.
He doesn't seem to understand how conversation works; that someone says something and someone else responds to what they say. He seems to think that you reply to him, you're getting irate or upset and worked up, and that if you disagree with what he is saying, then he ignores all the points and picks on something else to pick at you with. He mention's people's names, and then when they respond, they're the ones being 'trolled'.

He seems to have deleted a lot of his posts, I think it's fair to say that is a sign of regret, I guess that is a kind of appology.
