Smile Hello from Texas
where the temperature is now 101. A month ago, we were still wearing sweaters.

I have a Kindle, which I love, and just bought my granddaughter a Kobo for her birthday. I have recently spent 8 months in the hospital from a heart attack and related surgery along with a serious bout of congestive heart failure that left me on life support for 5 days. Then, the hospital gave me mrsa so I was back in the hospital for that. Thank God for an ebook reader.

Finding Calibre was the best thing that has happened in a long time. It does far more than one would expect. I LOVE it!

May you all have a great day and enjoy your reading.

Good to have your company, Jog. Having been there often myself, I agree that there's no medicine quite as effective as an ebook reader during a loooong hospital stay. I've lived in France for more than twenty-five years, but I still read comfortably only in English -- and those wonderfully kind and generous folks who trundle around a library on a trolley in hospitals carry nothing in English (no criticism at all implied). But my wee Sony has seen me through half a dozen times. And I've turned a few nurses, doctors, etc onto ebook reading in the process. Luck, happy e-reading and best wishes. Neil
