I haven't called anybody, but I just loaned the Reader to a friend, and told this person to use it for a week to see what they thought. If in a week they are converted then they can have the Reader with no cost to them. He's convinced dead trees are the way to go. Given my inconsistancy, the Karmic balance of the universe, and all that jazz I don't want him to be right. If a solar flare does happen I hope I have my reader powered off that day.
Ironically I'm looking for a solar charger for the reader in spite of my fears of the solar flare. Something to allow me to keep the Reader alive after the nation's power grid fails. It could happen, you know. And there's always the Zombie Apocalypse. Never forget that.
