Late starter
Hey guys,
I'm starting late, but may actually catch up to everyone. I'm deployed, so, there's a fair amount of down time. Rob |

while you are at it rpmazur try tickerfactory.com. What this will help you do is produce a ticker similar to the one that I have that will show your progress towards your goal. You can produce the code at tickerfactory and place the code that tickerfactory gives you (copy the BBcode) to your signature block on these boards so that you can haev a visual representation of where you are, like I have done.

So what do the folks in Afganistan think of electronic books? Do they control which books you can obtain in the country? Did they review and approve the books that you have on your readers before they allowed it in the country? Do you get wifi in the country? Wahts electronic book reading like in Afganistan?

eBooks in Afghanistan
Quote:
Some bases have wifi, the one I was at and the one I first flew into had it at the USO. Most of the bases here in Afghanistan have some sort of commercial internet available to the service members. One of my soldiers who has a Kindle has said he's downloaded to the PC with no issues and then using the software on the PC transferred it to his Kindle. Me, most of the stuff I've got loaded on the iPod Touch was loaded up before I got here using my wifi connection at home in Germany. There is some stuff on the Kobo that I've selected and is on my Mac and I'm trying to figure out how to get it to the iPod Touch. All of the books that I've gotten from Kobo are the free ones, mainly classics, with the exception of My Robot Girlfriend. |

Question:
Does it count if you read a book twice in the same year? There are 2 books that I read a few months ago that I would like to read again before the end of the year.
