Today...

...turned out OK after all!

I was in serious doubt when my internet was down this morning! But I called cable, and after we did all the usual over-the-phone voodoo, and none of it worked they said they'd send out a tech. He couldn't get here until mid-afternoon, so I worked on some sewing and some fic and some housework until then. I got a lot done, and will likely be posting another chapter of R2E tomorrow. I also got a call from danae_b, and she seemed to be feeling a bit better.

One thing disappointed me, I wanted to do some MEFA reviews, and couldn't do that today.

But I had a lot of flist to catch up on when he finally got me working again.

I've heard of those. I guess they are rather pricey though?

I think I paid around $300 for mine, and it came with 100 free downloads from the 'classics collection' on Sony's e-Bookstore. I've purchased a few books for it - they're the same price or a little less than what you'd pay in a bookstore. You can load music onto it, too. There's a slot on one side where you can put in extra memory - I've put a 4 gig memory stick in mine, and have around 150 combined books and fics (including LOTR as a text file) and I still have 3.7 gig free. The height and width are about the same size as a paperback - maybe a little larger - and it's thin and lightweight.

The Irex Iliad is around the same price I believe. Then there is also the Amazon Kindle. I think you'd remember that my hubby did kinda review articles on them (unpaid) when he borrowed an Iliad from a huge book importer here and Irex was so happy about those articles that they gifted hubby one. Hubby's college then purchased four more for it's library employees and students, so that's how we got our Iliad. In a nutshell, otherwise we couldn't afford it.

The Kindle unfortunately won't let you upload Word files and such to it - you can only get the files off of Amazon. The biggest advantages to the Kindle are more books are easily available for it and it's totally wireless. I have to plus my Reader into my laptop to put files on it, but with the Kindle you don't have to.
