Yes it is.

You have my sympathy.

December 26th. The day after Christmas when loads of people will have gotten a reader without knowing how it works!

ProDigit · 12-19-2011, 04:59 AM

Januari 1, 2012, 1AM in the morning! :-)

I'd say 80% or more of the users are no regulars!
Time for cleaning?

In which case, I'd say 12/2014 (the end of the world or something...) :-)

People who don't know how a book reader work, probably won't be able to find this forum neither, and even if they did, won't know how to register for it.
But more than likely they will want to know more about their gadgets, perhaps tuning their devices, tweaking it, or finding free stuff for it; so they'd probably start streaming in starting the week after christmas! (it takes time for some people to realize they can get free stuff online about their device, be it info, books, or a whole new OS)

Oh, they'll know how to turn it on and such. But then they want books on it... And that they'll come here for and find out

The Terminator's taken 26th December. I can put you down for that, but the glory will go to The Terminator if it turns out to be right!

Or you could pick another day!

Oh it gets better. The 27th was also my parents wedding anniversary. I can just envision the day in the delivery room. "You're the #*&@ bastard that did this to me!" "Well you're the bitch that wanted a &%#@ kid!"

Yes, it always made for interesting birthday celebrations and less than enthusiastic gift giving.

HomeInMyShoes · 12-19-2011, 09:47 AM

Well, all the good days are taken for the binge of people looking for stuff after they get their brand new e-readers for the holidays. I'll take January 5th 2012 because it's the earliest date left, but it will probably be well before that.

Well, those were the days when the dads were holding down the fort in the waiting room with a hip flask and cigars. So while no doubt your mother was wondering what she had been thinking when she said "I do," your father didn't hear her imprecations. On the bright side, there was the tax advantage to being born before year-end.

A lot of the giftees will lurk; the questions will they register and when?

^Depends how many problems they are having with, I downloaded an e-pub book and it won't work on my Kindle questions they have.
