Its 3:47 and I'm waiting impatiently for the UPS guy to come with my K3.....

He's gonna be lucky if I'm not waiting at the curb, yank him outta his seat, and rummage amonst his packages.

Serves him right for delivering at such a late time in the day.

You frisk him, you gotta tip him.

Hope the delivery guy got away relatively unscathed.

recluse · 09-17-2010, 07:11 PM

So, how much does he have to pay you?

Eating my breakfast! OK, I'm in a different time zone to most of you. I have just been out to pick the last oranges off my tree and am now contemplating cleaning out the shed - and this time actually doing it at not being distracted by (1) my Kobo, (2) reading my email, or indeed any other activity which has more appeal than shed cleaning (covers a lot of territory).

When my mom was here visiting the birthday present I normally get here.. The 1 year audible membership wasn't possible (this lead to the whole Amazon closed my account and almost lost all my ebooks fiasco).

Anyway.... I let her hold my K classic and show her how it worked... and I she said it needed a cover to hold like a book. I told her... well, after using it for a day or two you will find a comfortable way to hold it that is different than how you hold a book. She insisted she had to have her thumb in the "crook" of perhaps a cover like she did with a book. I told her... we'll you hold a book like that because you have to hold the pages open.

Long story short... the K3 I ordered for her birthday finally came... she sends me an email... Wow... this is really cool, but I ordered a cover so I can hold it like a book. She used the thing for 5 minutes... ug. Anyway... I'm sure she will enjoy the cover with built in light she got.

But, she is funny. Asked me how you turn it off. I told her, you DON'T turn it off. She was shocked... BTW: It was her 70th birthday.

What do you do with the oranges [he asks, as someone who has mad jam/conserve/marmalade from his sister's excess mandarins]?

I agree with her about the cover! That's the main reason I got one for my kindle.

My DroidX fits just right in the palm of my hand with index and little fingers on each side...no cover needed.
