DR Doug do you have any pet?

I love animals and have always had cats and dogs. DG Yogi and DGD Sherlock look lovely Jane. At the moment I only have the one cat, DC Daisy - an 8 year old rescue tabby who I've had since a kitten and who follows me everywhere.

DR Doug I miss having a cat and would love to see a photo of your DC Daisy.

That's the one thing about the Sony that I don't like. I can't charge and read at the same time but a charge lasts a long time. It will go for 3 weeks before I need a recharge.

Larry, here is another interesting site, not e-books but audio books

Librivox

Keith said the wi-fi is on and he will turn it off later which should improve the battery time. I'm sure most people don't have the terrible habit of reading most the night.

My Sony is like that also. If I use the wi-fi (which I rarely do) or use it as an mp3 player the battery drains very quickly but if I just use it to read the battery life is very good.

I didn't know the wi-fi was on. After googling how long my Nook battery should last & read about the drain from the wi-fi I thought to ask Keith.

DR Doug. Keith is my DH (dear husband) of 42 years. We both met Bruce in high school when we were in 10th grade & Bruce was in 11th grade. I believe in England that is years 11 & 12.

I just received a Kindle in the post from Randy and JoAnn for my birthday!

And if THIS works, it means that I've posted from my Kindle!

Posting from my Sony using wi-fi is a royal pain in the behind!

I did the four-mile jog, did some work on the computer, had a sandwich and onion rings, picked up an important envelope and no packages and am in until I leave for the theater at seven.

And now, I'm back on my desktop computer. It is pretty darned awkward to read/post using the Kindle browser. It works, though...and that's pretty cool. But I don't think that I'll be posting from home much, if at all. I've been glomming onto someone else's unpassworded Wi-Fi.

Here are some places to look for free books. Granted they are old and out of copyright but there are lots of good books.

Project Gutenberg

Gutenberg Australia

Gutenberg Canada

ManyBooks

Google Books

E-Books.com

Enjoy your new toy! I love mine, (even though it's a Sony reader not a Kindle).

Thanks for the links, Ben! I just downloaded several free books.

In other news...

The gathering for my niece's birthday earlier today was fun and festive. We went to a place called Buffalo Wing University. It's an interesting place. It's right by George Mason University, and on certain nights of the week, it's mainly a place for students to get drunk on $1 draft beers and $3 shooters. Other days of the week, it is geared towards families with various meal deals and lots of room for the kids to run around and play various games. Today was a family day (obviously).

Alyssa's birthday is not until next Friday, but since my parents will be heading to one of their times shares next week, they wanted to come up today to celebrate with everybody. I was able to stop by to wish the birthday girl a very Happy Early Birthday, as well as to get a couple of hugs from my niece & goddaughter, Emily.

My debit card has points and I accrued enough to get the Kindle. I really didn't know what to get, but the points were going to expire, so I figured that I'd better get something, so I did.

After today's matinee, we had a Talent Show. People played instruments, people wrote songs, people beat-box'd, people danced. And we ate a lot of pizza too.

It really was quite fun. And, yes, I played in the "Jug Band" Finale. *And if you go to my Facebook page, you'll see some proof of that.

Deb, did Vixter end up getting an e-reader as well? She had asked me about the merits of various brands.
