I do like the idea of building a two drive dual boot pc though.then I can flip from being productive in seven to trying out the new gui approach in eight, rather than force 8 to look like 7.
Do I have permanenly swich to legacy bios option for that though,and do i then lose fast boot up in 8?
Re tools, yes I have desktop verion of kindle pc and previous versions of ade good to go,I would not want the w8 kindle app,I dont read in k, it just a vehicle for getting amazon freebies into calibre.
