I like the one where the book drops and is unscathed but a dropped Kindle brings the fire department (Round 9).<br /><br />BUT, it is the publishers choice whether or not to have a title on Kindle. For example, with "Blindness" mentioned in the video, if you check amazon you'll see a note to ask the publisher to make it available.Camille Minichinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701150885595400018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-77885555326895465172009-10-20T17:54:08.983-04:002009-10-20T17:54:08.983-04:00...

They're entertaining, in any case.

It was kind of ridiculous to take a bus for three blocks.<br /><br />I did't know about the booksellers either. I have a kindle, but still buy paper books. I have bought the same book on the kindle and in paper. The kindle is nice for travel, but I still like regular books better.<br /><br />Secret panel in a doll house - how cool. <br /><br />I enjoyed getting to know you better.Betty Hechtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652848311122102223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-24336607534753445112009-10-20T14:21:55.227-04:002009-10-20T14:21:55.227-04:00Chris, I'll send more museum pix to you.

I had to be out of town, (nothing like bad timing) but the weather was just as crummy at my mother's house as it was here in Indy. This time of year we should be having crisp, sunny days with pretty leaves. Glad you got to the miniatures museum, though. Btw, we weren't in the Eastern time zone until we succumbed to Daylight Saving Time (also known as "It's really dark in the morning," time)about a year ago. Disappointing about the booksellers. I patronize independents, chains and Amazon, and value them for their unique inventory. Staying home and pouting doesn't accomplish much for the independents, does it?Julienoreply@blogger.com
