Good to see you here, Michael. You really should give a reader a fair crack o' the whip, though. I guarantee you'd go through the same change of mind I did. No way now would I read a treebook from choice.
I'm going into hospital for a week or two after the weekend, as you might know ... and I'm actually looking forward to it. I'll take along a hundred or two books in the reader (which will tuck neatly into my shaving bag) and be able to pick and choose at leisure. I could take a thousand or two more if I was to be in for any great length of time.
There'll be a drip in my arm, of course, but what the heck. You hold the reader in one hand and turn the pages with the thumb of that hand. Whenever a nurse of doc interrups, there's no messing with bookmarks or dogearing a page, I just switch off. When I switch on again, there's me at the page I was reading from.
I can turn pages 7,000 times on a single charge, so I probably won't need to charge it up over the two weeks I'm in bed. No bother, though -- plug it into the electric shaver point in my bathroom and it's back at full power within an hour.
And as for losing it -- place your bet. This wee gizmo is fasr too important to me. I could no more lost it than I could my favourite pipe.
Go on, Mike. Give it a try. If you find you're one of te very few who's not hooked within a week, you could always re-sell it here or elsewhere because they tend to hold their value.
Cheers for now. Catch you when I'm back in the Land of the Living. Neil
