In fact, another blog I follow is posting a great series on GMO right now, if you get tired of reading bestsellers, you could go read it :) - http://wildramp.wordpress.com/. Kobos - I work in a library that lends out Kobo's, and our library system also loans ebooks for free download (you should check that out in PEI). Kobos are wonderful in that you can store 1000 books in one slim little device. They come with touch screens now that make them easier to use. You can access pretty much every ebook out there, unlike Kindle which is proprietary to Amazon, and will not allow many types of download (Kindle in the US will allow the free ebook downloads). Downsides of Kobo - you can only go page by page. Boring bit? you will have to turn one page after another to get past it. Can't remember who's who from the genealogy run down in the first chapter? You are stuck with going back page by page...no way to "mark" a page to flip back or forward to. Also, in my view, e-readers don't do anything else. As a farmer, you can relate to the benefit of a piece of equipment that can only do one thing, compared to a machine that can do that one thing and a lot of other things too. If you're going to spend money on an electronic device, or put it on your birthday wishlist, ask for a tablet of some sort. You'll get more multi-tasking out of it, and it can function as well as any e-reader. Good luck with VBS - have a blast. I'm through those years, but they were fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936976925449679441.post-77240238667955388692012-08-10T08:17:24.981-03:002012-08-10T08:17:24.981-03:00Great to have an entry on your blog.
