You've homed in on the only other blue light in the forum.
Have you got some snow there yet or heavy rains? The meteorological thread has been quite adventurous to read. The weather of the Australians and South of the United States made it to our national TV. I hope they're doing all right.

Snow is melting as we speak, but was there the whole time 20-40 cm
Only mist causes problems here. I hope my plane will take off on Thursday! AND land!!

I have however noticed that the result varies with different potato sorts. Potatoes which are heavy on starch can be a problem, but the recipe book explains which potato sorts that works best
mmm seems like an endorsement . One complaint I've seen about it is the small serving sizes possible.

OK - out into the rain with the dog.

No, I love both my Kindle's. I had one that got replaced (wihin a week from overseas!) and got a 2nd for my birthday. Yeahhhh.....
It just is a lovely ereader.
It's weak point is indexing: did you follow the thread in the Kindleforum about it?
Don't load more than 100/150 books in one go-----keep it charged while indexing----check after a few hours if indexing is done by random search (= just type axhsn...and press 'search').....should come up (after a bit of waiting) with 0 items......then on to the next. If it's still indexing, you might wait a bit, or press to see which books are still indexing. These days I just throw/delete them off my Kindle (quick check is it really 0 items now) and go on. You might try these books again or format again mobi-mobi with Calibre or such. For Amazon-books you can email them; they'll reimburse you.
Have fun; you'll love it.

you should have seen me the day before mine arrived. that small box should have arrived in the morning but it didn't, and time passed s.l.o.w.l.y.... and I almost went crazy at 1:30 pm the mailman rang the doorbell (finally!), and wow, I got so excited

but I didn't do all the things desertblues said: I loaded about 400 books at once and it seems to have a small problem with indexing: 11 books are always being indexed and I'm thinking about deleting them, then load them again to see if it works.

Yay Enjoy! I get excited about every gadget - hubby and I both get withdrawal symptoms if we go without a new gadget for too long. We're always talking about what's the next one going to be.

For me the big advantage is being able to buy from Amazon without having to de-DRM and then convert my purchases.

They delivered mine at work. I had a couple of meetings this morning, so I didn't really think too much about it. When I returned to my office, the package was lying on my desk. So I'm trying hard not to open it now, and wait until I get home. I'll probably leave a little earlier today

Trust me, I would if I could . But we have to ask permission if we want to leave before 4PM and I think 'I want to go play with my new Kindle' isn't a legitimate reason to leave work early
