Wow...my new second /second home...I thought it was bad when I had to join the Ebook Buying Addicts' Support Thread, but I see this is a place for me as well...I just finished telling the Ebook folks how we all preach better than we practice.
I'm a computer person, but I am also frugal, ack lets just say it - CHEAP lol. I love my tech but can have a hard time justifying the purchases to myself, especially if they are for me. When my daughters tablet broke we stalled on getting her a new one, not easy cause teenagers sure have the art of stalking down. Then she got the Galaxy Note II and I kept telling her she didn't need a new tablet cause she had that monster phone. But on the other hand, I went ahead and got myself a 7 inch tablet I had been wanting even though i have a perfectly good 10 inch and a brand new smartphone (GS4).
Sometimes I quell the guilt with what my family likes to call the "family upgrade program". When one of us gets something new, someone less tech advanced usually moves up. Like now that I have my GS4, my aunt is moving from the
Samsung SCH-R350 to her very first Android. Granted is Android 2, but hey it's a start. And since I bought my Mom an S2, my brother gets her old android as a media player
Sometimes it makes me feel better, sometimes I still feel dirty
Now the thing I am waiting for is the Kobo Glo to hit a huge sale. I have a NST, but
really want something with a light and love that the Glo has collections (that seem easier and more stable than what the NST's can handle).
what to do ---- what to do?
