[QUOTE=WT Sharpe;2025690]Amazon to buy Mobileread

Wicked. Simply wicked. If only I'd read more thoroughly or remembered the date

The relief and the laugh was worth it, though!

Daithi · 04-01-2012, 11:42 AM

I'm with Hamlet. As an unpaid, non-moderator, that has contributed to the success of Mobileread, I am going to sue to get my fair share of the purchase price.

Billi · 04-01-2012, 12:44 PM

To my shame I must admit that in the first moment I have been fooled because of this remark by another moderator

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...2&postcount=14

in the thread Hamlet and Daithi are referring to. But after reading the word "Amazon" I was relieved and laughed about my silliness.

That was not nice!!! In Argentina the equivalent of April Fool's day is December 28th, so I didn't make the connection...

Darn you got me

Dylrob · 04-01-2012, 03:10 PM

Nice try, but I made a mental note weeks ago to not to believe a word any mod said on this day.

carpetmojo · 04-01-2012, 05:48 PM

That's a change of stance, then, is it....?

My dear old Mum always said " never believe anything a Moderator says...."

Oh ...... ummm ....

" ........on the first of April."

Spacechik · 04-01-2012, 07:00 PM

Do us, the unwashed Mobileread readership, now get a Kindle Touch as part of our new membership fees?

Second of April here, but due to geo restrictio....er timezones, I won't say nuttin'

RainingLemur · 04-01-2012, 10:54 PM

So, does this mean there's more freebies for Kindle users?
