I bought the Kindle 2 back in 2009 for $400. At the time I justified the purchase with the idea that books would be cheaper on the Kindle 2 and I would not have to pay for shipping and handling. However, kindle books are not significantly cheaper on amazon. The kindle equivalent of a hard cover is usually significantly discounted, yet the kindle equivalent of a paperback is barely discounted. Therefore I would not suggest getting a kindle if you intend to read paperbacks.

In addition the kindle interface is clunky. The screen loads slowly and if you have a lot of books it is very annoying to navigate through your library. Another huge problem is that if you lose your kindle you lose all your books. Kindle books are not in a standard ebook reader format, this forces you to get another kindle when something happens to your kindle.

Most importantly the kindle’s battery has a tendency to break. It seems that this is a fairly common problem. When I contacted kindle support they tried two ways to reset the kindle and then informed me that I would have to get a new kindle. It seems ridiculous to me that they do not offer to repair your kindle. If the battery in your laptop breaks you can send it back to the manufacturer to get a new battery. Even if your laptop is out of warranty you pay a small fee to get it serviced. It is illogical to me that I can’t pay for a new battery instead of having to buy a new kindle.

There are many ebook readers available and the Kindle is one of the most expensive of all the ebook readers(some are as low $90).I strongly suggest that you shop around before purchasing a kindle.

I recently ordered this scale to replace my 20 year old spring scale and am very disappointed with it’s accuracy. Although my bathroom is only 8 square feet, I get 3 different readings as I move the scale around to different places on the floor. The readings vary by about 5 lbs! I am hoping the lowest one is the most accurate, but I really don’t know.

ASSEMBLY HELP IF YOU HAVE LEAKING….
So I had the major leaking once put together problem that many had. It seemed as if the clean surge button was “stuck” in place, despite doing the depressing of it with the trigger as stated and the trigger didn’t seem to be working properly either. SO I took the handle back OFF the cleaner, wiggled the “bars” inside the handle that work the buttons, one shoud be much lower then the other or it won’t work, so pulled that bar down and wiggled it a bit, and then slowly put the handle back on, making sure the bars hit the spots they were supposed to (tried the buttons after setting handle on before screwing it back together) once buttons seemed to be working normally, then put the screws back in and depressed the trigger and clean surge button as stated in directions and put the tanks back on, hoping like HECK it was going to stop leaking so I could clean the floors as planned today, and it did!!! I was beyond excited. No more leaking and a sparkling clean house. ) I had the previous model of this cleaner for over 4 years before the motor started to go and it always worked wonderfully. For someone in a small apartment with several animals, 2 crazy boys and dirt, cat pee and cat puke galor, this is the cleaner for me!

I recently started trail running and the Forerunner 305 has been great! It is nice to see how far you have run and see a total of miles for the week or month on the computer screen after downloading. I haven’t gotten into to evaluating my heart rate yet and I know there are many more options to learn about but for now this is a great tool for novice to expert. Oh and I even got lost when I ventured off the trail and was able to find my way back to my car by using the navi directional arrow! Awesome!

The purchase is in fact of a key code to download the softwear. Difficulty began when trying the two methods provided by vendor which seemed to have worked for two other persons providing previous reviews. But, after 3 hours of multiple tries, contact with the vendor and finally a call to Microsoft, it was determined there was somtheing wrong with the code provided. Recontacted vendor. Although the vendor did not have the degree of urgency I did, they ultimately also contacted Microsoft, then provided me with a new key code which worked on the first try, and I was done in 15 minutes. I believe the vendor is selling a good product at a fantastic price, but customer support is not a strong suit for what appears to be a growing company. Having done it this way, I am glad I did. But, not sure I would go this way again.

This book is generally considered a classic, and I can understand why. The plot elements are great, but the main character/narrator is not. Holden Caulfield is one of the least sympathetic characters in literary history. His voice is hard to read because it is so annoying. It is hard to imagine any real person speak or think like that, regardless of the time period. For most people, this book is very “Love it or hate it”; I think it is a must read for that reason. Everyone should make up their own mind about it.

About one third way through the book, I started dreading when it was over. This book transports you to the dark secrets of a circus, bright and attractive visuals, love, hate, and a character that transforms before your eyes!
The author has a wonderful way of being concise, yet still making the story come alive with great detail.

I LOVE THIS BOOK. I cried when it was over BECAUSE it was over. It is my favorite book and all of my past favorites are classics. I am afraid that I will never find another book filled with the elements I like again.

If you are attracted to the past, history, the circus, a little non-cheesy romance, READ THIS!

I have been programming for years, but new to PHP and Drupal. This book was (and is) exactly what I need to get things done. It’s pretty complete — I think the entire Drupal 6 API is discussed. It’s well organized. It has a good index (!!), and it has non-trivial examples that work you through to the end of the topic.

I am struggling in some cases — Drupal’s greatest strength is the number and scope of its contributed modules, and this book does not address them. However, there are some modules that are effectively part of core Drupal (or ones that will be soon). Most modules are poorly documented and have a few bugs or limitations — as a new Drupal developer, I have found it hard to know how to isolate problems — in modules, and in my own code. One module, briefly discussed (Devel) is a huge help, but very little is written about it.

While I understand that a book like this cannot cover everything, a section on practical debugging, testing, problem isolation and so on would have done wonders for me.

Still the book is a must have for me.

It was easy to order from the website; the price was excellent; and it arrived in less than a week in perfect condition.

The hard part was getting the package open that contained the disk and product key. There were no instructions on the outside of the container, and it was not intuitive as to how to open it. The plastic was indestructible. After really pulling and working at it, I discovered that the entire inside of the case swings out to reveal the disk and key code. In other words, you need to hold onto the outside of the package, and pull the top left inside corner firmly from the outside of the package.

I used the product key to unlock a pre installed trial version of the software which only took a few minutes.

I am very pleased with Amazon and the product itself.
