Hello from HuskerMn

Hello all, I just joined this forum after hearing about Igorsk on Security Now podcast.

I actually bought the Kindle for my partner and she loves it. I tend to listen to audiobooks more than actually read, but I'm thinking about getting my own Kindle anyway.

It is such a cool device. The GUI is a bit clunky but it's a 1st gen device so I expect it will improve once Amazon gets enough made to kinda catch up on their orders.

I'm new to this forum, but have belonged to forums of one sort or another since BBS days accessing with my 110 baud modem.

Welcome, what kind of computer were you using that long ago? Audiobooks are definately easier on an iPOD (particularly while moving) or other small device but Kindle can do it (even audible) of course.

That was back on my Apple ][+.

And, I have an Audible account since they launched. I think that was late 2000 or early 2001 because I'm sure I had to listen on my Mac for awhile before they made the books iPod compatible.

Hi everyone ! Nice to meet you all !

I discovered about ebook readers recently and its long time ago i am thinking about using e-books because i like to read so much especially american and french literature. I must precise i have a big interest in technologies and their evolutions.
Oh, i musnt forget to say you that i am french man. I wud like people to explain me more about ebook readers and e-books if possible. Concerning my other likings: im huge fan of video games and japanese manga and technologies in general. But i let u know my knowledge in computing is quite basics because i studied literature and international commerce , not computing fiield at all. Now i am searching a job in my country but if i dont find in my country i am ready to move anywhere in the world if the the job offer is serious.
I wud be very pleased to chat with american people who could advice me about gd american literature. It wud also be gd if people wud help me improving my english language. I hope i wasnt too long but i must say you that im not used to this kind of forum. Its my first try for this kind, hope it will be a gd surpriz for me.

PS : Thk u to every people who didnt fall asleep before the last line.....

Welcome. I have to ask does Husker refer to Nebraska football or to Corn? Or something completely different like silly walks.
