In Alabama, we said "hog heaven". It's more alliterative as you can see.

Tazzle: welcome to MobileRead. We're so glad you've joined us. I'm sure you'll find that posting you wanted to reply to -- at some point. Be sure to download the MobileRead download guide. While you can't use the cellular connection in the Kindle to download books directly to the device, it's still a wonderful reference to all the MobiPocket format books available for the taking here at MobileRead. Since the guide contains the full description of each book -- well as full as the original uploader provided -- it gives you the opportunity to plan your future downloads even when you aren't using your PC.
I also own a Kindle and have found that it is a serious enabler of my reading habit and an even more serious disabler of my finances. Just yesterday I was sitting in the Philadelphia airport and decided that I wanted to read the second book in Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries. And since I was in the USA, I didn't even have to boot my PC. I just turned on the cellular antenna on the Kindle, opened the sample (which I had downloaded to the Kindle some months ago) and clicked the "buy this book" link in the sample. Before I could even exit the sample, I had the complete book on the Kindle. I just *must* exercise more discipline. (yeah ... right ... like that's ever going to happen)
