It was all those chocolate croissants that nearly did me in ... I really miss those, actually ... and Gini, I rather like Gini.

zelda_pinwheel · 09-22-2008, 07:59 PM

well, i don't know how well the chocolate croissants would travel but maybe i could mail you some...

or maybe you'll just have to come back.

(but, gini, didn't you say it's exactly like some other drink you have at home ?)

NatCh · 09-22-2008, 08:02 PM

Nope, I think you're remembering the Mr. Pibb/Dr. Pepper controversy, or maybe that the Coca Cola there seems to be just like the Coca Cola here.

I can get Orangina easily enough, but the only place I've found Gini is at a specialty liquor and exotic beverage store in downtown Houston (Spec's for those who know it).

zelda_pinwheel · 09-22-2008, 08:04 PM

well maybe i could add a few cans of gini, but they would probably crush the croissants... yep, i think you have no choice : you'll have to come back again.

NatCh · 09-22-2008, 08:08 PM

Not this year ... maybe when the kids (that we don't have yet) are about 12 years old.

i'll tell them to save some chocolate croissants for you then and stock up on the gini.

So can anyone start an "official" thread? I thought only moderators could do that.

BTW: I still love my PRS-500 and my Kindle.

Anyone can type "Official" in the title ... I don't recall off-hand any instance where a moderator did so, however -- I think all the "Official" threads were started by non-mods.

Of course you can: I *love* my reader. I want to marry it and make babies.

BlackVoid · 09-23-2008, 05:41 AM

I only wish these readers came out 10 years earlier.
I had an 500 first, but switched it to a 505. I read it almost every day. Or rather, I read the books on it.

sherman · 09-23-2008, 07:45 AM

Just got my reader a couple of months ago when I went to the states. Absolutely loving it!!

It'll save me quite a lot in the long run - considering the nose-bleed prices NZ booksellers charge for books over here. Not to mention piss-poor selection they offer, especially in Sci-Fi/Fantasy

booksonboard, fictionwise and MS LIT have been my friends.

Last I saw of it was disappearing into my wife's shoulder bag as she headed out for the train this morning

Still - never mind - I hadn't read the article about the October announcement before I bought it - so now I can wait to see if there is a new, enhanced model coming out and leave her with the OLD version

Normally people only post here if they are newbies or have problems. I just wanted to post something that shows I'm a longer-term satisfied user of the PRS-505.

(disclaimer: I'm kinda drunk)

Caught you. Liseuse radical.
