It's here, it's here! Though the battery was fully discharged from sitting around at UPS all weekend--I had to plug it in and let it charge a few minutes before it would come to life. But I've purchased and downloaded (as a fast, easy, and cheap read) a collection of books by H. Beam Piper, a favored science fiction writer, and have been reading "Uller Uprising". Everything is working great, after a few minutes of paging through the included Kindle guide, I said the heck with that, and just started playing with menus and such. No problems at all (and I'm sure I just jinxed myself with that statement!).
It's amazing that it already contains several novels, has used only a teeny fraction of its capacity, yet is so small, thin and light! Easy to read, and paging is slower than I'd like, but I'm adapting by pushing the button as I start the last line, and holding it down till time to turn the page....Many adventures ahead, I am sure!
