Hello all
Hi I'm 18Coaster in real life its Steve, I'm a proud owner of a Kindle 2 and besides being an avid reader ( as we all are) I love a gadget and nothing is better than a new gadget, I am in the immersion phase of getting to know my new Kindle. I've been peeking at this site to get a feel for Kindle stuff and you seem like a great community.
I'm a retired 32 year career FireFighter and EMT, I am an extra class ham radio operator. I also enjoy Flight simulation with the program X-plane and the site X-plane.org. I hope I can get to know you a little better as I post.

Happy paging

Steve
