G'day from Perth, Australia!
Hi folks!
Tony Slater here. Proud owner of the new (cheap!) keyboard-less Kindle. I say owner - I never get to read the thing, as the missis won't leave it alone. It's like it was superglued to her hand or something. Hm. There's an idea... Anyway! I'm a really keen reader, mostly interested in fantasy, sci-fi and historical novels with the occasional thriller and/or comedy, and non-fiction travel, history, humour.... Yeah I know. Eclectic, I call it. Expensive, she calls it - hence the Kindle. I'm also an author, but I'll not be beating that drum here after this as I know what it's like to be constantly bombarded with book ads - try hanging out in writer's forums, you'd think all we do is buy and read each other's books! (promotional links and material deleted - MODERATOR) Happy holidays folks! Tony Last edited by Dr. Drib; 12-22-2011 at 03:32 PM. |

Thanks folks! Wow, moderators are hot around here! I even read the guidelines before posting to check it was allowed on my intro post, and according to them, it is!
Ah well, no worries. Cheers for the friendly welcome folks, I'll go read some threads. It's so hot here (Perth) at the mo, just web browsing is making my laptop overheat! Tony |

Got my Kindle 3 for Christmas and been having a great time.
Calibre 0.8.32 & Kindle Collections plugin. All good fun!!! Nice & hot here - 37C and rising - good day to be inside reading in air-conditioned comfort. Cheers |
