Greetings All from South Arkansas. Nice to meet y'all.
After reading several posts for us newbies by DesertGrandma, and others requesting that we come over here and introduce ourselves, I thought it might be a good idea.
The name is Kathy, the nickname is Kat or MamaDragon (long story). I've been an avid SF/Fantasy reader since I discovered Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars and Andre Norton's books in my junior high school library.
(dating myself there)
I grew up in the desert north of Los Angeles, now live in South Arkansas; raising and homeschooling kids & grandkids, and dogs. OH! and Cats and Dragons (they have personal staff, not owners.) I started e-reading on a palm pda, and have graduated to a Nook Color, and a Motorola Razr; the kids have an early nook and kindle 2nd gen.
Now! -- if they'd just make an e-reader that is as durable and easy to carry as a mass-market paperback, versatile(sp) as a tablet for all the differing formats, as much storage as the library of congress, with a version that was a large enough screen for college textbooks or aging eyes, it would be a perfect world.
Have a Good/Peaceful/Quiet/Warm Weekend!
Kathy
