Greetings
Hello all,

I bought a new Kindle 3, wifi only recently. I'm a 60's something geek-type from Connecticut USA who will be using the kindle for reading books and long articles obtained from the web or nntp. I'm using calibre for conversions and as a library manager. So, for the moment my interest is in settling into a routine to synchronize the kindle for windows document folder with the kindle and other mundane housekeeping chores. I'll move onto fixing the ss as time allows.

Looks like a good community here from the little exploring so far.

Be well,

Kim

Greetings,

Well, news groups have been my source for varied things for years. I'm not sure this is going to be true after some preliminary snooping yesterday ... <s&g>

Be well,

Kim
