Considering we've multiple devices here (I only use epub readers, my husband has a kindle and we both have a tablet and he even still uses that HP PDA I once bought from you), it's just prudent for me to put everything in a single libary so I can very easily update all devices.

Actually, she didn't generate any savings, but an enormous loss.
Not even considering life quality or spare time, but simply her time invested.

Free time for me is not worth money. As long as I like what I'm doing, I don't care how long it takes (but I just don't understand people who will drive 10km, because the price for gasoline is 0,01ct cheaper at that other station...)
We'll go to Germany once in a while, (Leer is about 70km drive) because there are some products that are way cheaper in Germany than they are here. Or because they come in a bigger package. Or even because they're not available here. But it's also fun to go shopping there, so we don't mind the extra time it takes...

I thought the screen was very white, actually... I think it depends on where you come from :P (as in: what are your other devices
)
