Amazon Amusement

The item concerned is a purple-covered blank notebook
http://www.amazon.com/Violet-Wrap-Li.../dp/1551564971

I am very tempted to click the link under it to request it be made available on the Kindle, and I have to admit I love that shade of green - from the description:

Capturing the look of this original silk in the exquisite shades of green

I was tempted to put this in the Kindle forums, but common sense prevailed

common sense ?? you're slipping...

At least they got it right on this one. Maybe the proofreader was colorblind? Of course, the real blame goes to the person who copy/pasted the description.

I want to tell the publisher I would like that book on the Kindle.

How can a blank notebook be used (as in not new)?

It's a blank book -- you've already got that. Just create a text file with nothing in it but space. You can "write" in it by using the note-taking feature of the Kindle.

Speaking of amazon amusement, I just found out that a few months ago they changed their reviewer rating system, and Harriet Klausner has dropped from number 1 to 400 something.

Now I'm writing reviews again. My friggin ranking dropped from 9,000 to 24,000. But then again, I haven't written in three years.

I don't have a Kindle. I was just making a joke that a journal has the button for asking for it on the Kindle.

Bad joke, I know.

I blame the lack of ZCs. Or something.

Nah - you'd never catch me doing something so utterly silly and... oh. Right. I appear to have done it...

vivaldirules · 12-30-2008, 05:30 PM

Excellent! And I followed your lead and did it, too.

Uh, by the way, what's a Kindle?

ShortNCuddlyAm · 12-30-2008, 05:33 PM

I have no idea. But I think it must be some kind of chair because the link does say you want to read it ON it.

We have these chairs at my house that you actually lie across. So your head is propped up and your legs hang over. It has big fluffy cushions and is also next to the fireplace. They are so awesome.
