No it's just a plain windows shared folder where we keep misc film & TV files- I think I will just stream as needed to Kindle as that seems to work Ok. it just means that the PC has to be on, not in stand-by.

I've never bothered with NAS, as everytime I look at getting one I come across a bunch of scary negative reviews! and with more & more stuff avaliable on-demand - Netflix, Prime.. there's less & less reason to hoard Gbs of local files. For that same reason I 've never gotten around to buying blu ray rip software- we're still old fashioned enough to slot the shiny round thing into a ps3.
