I'm not sure how far a euro goes where you are. But I know I can buy quite a few new ebooks with $260.00+ |

Yes, I'll miss my books just a tiny bit, especially Dorothy Sayers and The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and the series of Duncton Wood. But somehow my bookcases have shaken themselves and presto........all the shelves are filled up again somehow. how can that be...... |

Talking about tablets, I'm still considering buying a Nexus 7 32gb. It now seems readily available. I'm not sure if I rather want a bigger tablet. My father's got a Asus TF300 and although I like the size when using it, my arms and wrists do not. I like the idea of a smaller, lighter and thus more portable tablet.

I love my Kindle Fire more than I love my Xoom (oooh! did I really say that!) mostly for the size/weight reason even though I prefer reading on the Xoom. The Fire is my constant companion, the Xoom not.

Right. I didn't realize that until after I got it back. The samples were hanging on a rack on the wall, and I assumed it was just very pretty wood, but it's actually wood & leather. Wasn't cheap, but when you're shopping for something you'll be seeing for years, it pays to get something you like. Especially if your significant other is footing the bill!

I'm installing Windows 8 on my old HP. I hope I don't regret doing this. The machine has been running Vista from the day it came home from the store. The only problems I ever encountered with Vista was within the first couple of weeks of buying it, but the geeks at Best Buy worked some kind of magic on it and it's been running fine ever since. I probably shouldn't try to fix what isn't broke, but it's too late to turn back now.
