All Good Things
Well today was a pretty good day. I upgrade to Office Pro 2010 and got the new Kindle 2.5 update. I have to admit the nerd life was pretty good to me today. Now I will have to begin the deep playing and look at some of the Outlook 2010 features I already found out [...]
Kindle 2.5 Update Hurray!
You can manually download the Kindle 2.5 update. I am installing it right now. Very exciting.
Kindle 2.5
I have to leave my wireless turned on the Kindle for a few days to get the Kindle 2.5 software update. The battery life on the Kindle with the wireless turned off is fantastic by the way. The Kindle 2.5 update includes folders which I am looking forward to. Here’s the [...]
Kindle 2.3 Update
I thought the Kindle would automatically update but as it had not I manually updated today. Yes the battery life had a bit to do with it, but more so I was interested in the screen rotation (manual). The rotation is cool and works well but I am not sure I will use it again. [...]

Amazon appologized for [...]
Dead Man’s Rain
Free Kindle Book – Dead Man’s Rain. Had good reviews so I downloaded it. I give most free books a try anyway.
Kindle Boycott
So there has been this greater than $9.99 book boycott by Kindle owners. Where Kindle owners are not buying books over the $9.99 price. Supposedly the boycott has been working. There was a book priced over the $9.99 value and the author dropped the price to $9.99 and his book went to the #3 book [...]
Google vs. Amazon
So I love my Kindle and all the free books I get on it. Too many for me to even read – probably read too many RSS feeds to have enough time to read a book. Anyway now Google is going to start selling eBooks. I am not sure why there have been so many [...]
