People from the States seem so limited in their approach from the outside. I hold two phones. One has a prepaid plan and one has a postpaid plan. The Prepaid means 5.5€ a month for 2600 national minutes (that's any phone) and 600 SMS. Postpaid means 3€ and about 0.06€ a minute of conversation with anyone. The prepaid uses a Nokia E50 bought in 2006. The Samsung device is a loyalty bonus for taking up a contract extension so it's free. And it's not really a smartphone although it looks like. The netbook was less than 300€, no strings attached. If any of the judgemental freaks would have read, my work involves a lot of moving around so I'm not a social parasite living off a pension wasting time on some clunky desktop. Sorry to break your dreams, maybe with your income I'd become a useless social care couch potato, but I have to get better deals to support my family.

I wonder where your keyboard was before as you just dumped wise oneliners.

Mind you, I might say the same thing. You haven't contributed this thread only with repetitive (and redundant) remarks about me being a troll. No help, no value whatsoever to your posts.
I thank those who tried to help, I feel sorry for those who just try to feel superior. You can coment further as my trouble with Calibre is soon-to-be long-gone.
