Hi, there!
Hello, from the United Kingdom.

On researching the Kindle OS, I found a link to Mobileread from Igor Skochinsky - it'll be fun playing Minesweeper again!

My Kindle just arrived from Amazon. (So far, I'm really impressed). It's still charging, but I've been playing and already downloaded three book and a sample.

I'll be taking the little beast on vacation shortly, so it will be interesting to test out the features - and the 3G claims!

So, here I am and I'm just about to start exploring the forums (fora)?

Tony

Thanks to everyone, nice community!

Anyone know if Baen (sci-fi) have eBooks in Kindle format?

Well, that may be tricky - first of all it's Turkey (and apparently only 2G and maybe EDGE), second, the first seven days we'll be sailing on a Turkish gulet exploring the coastline (so good battery life required) - although I noticed some of the Greek islands have 2G, so maybe a signal across the water? It'll be interesting!

Tell me about Secondary Targets?

Thank you, Lene.

In Oz terms you live near my brother (!!!) He's just moved to Silkwood, near Tully - probably just the 1000 miles!
