Thank you for all the vibes and prayers for Mom. In case I have to fly to Louisville quickly, I have been told the closest airport in Wyoming is actually in Denver.

How far away is that?

Vibes you do not need to make an emergency trip!

Three!

Tonight may be difficult for someone I know and, in a small way, I think I'm being made part of it. If this comes to pass, I can only say I will not be silent about it, oh, no, I will not be silent about it.

Groan.

So, Singdaw, what did you think of Sanditon season 2?

Sudsy melodrama! Loved it.

"Just cleaned out some space in the freezer" sounds so much more productive than "just polished off another pint of ice cream."

DR Jane - just curious; doesn't the Kindle allow you to adjust the screen brightness?

[singdaw]

I also am annoyed that you can no longer purchase books directly from the app, but you still can from a computer's web browser.

[Jane]

Is does but reading at night it is too bright.  I am pretty sure an actual Kindle will dim better than my app does.  Both Overdrive and Nook go lower.

[Jane]

I also am annoyed that you can no longer purchase books directly from the app, but you still can from a computer's web browser.

Is that using your Kindle or a Kindle app on another devise?

[Jane]

If I am home and can use my computer to buy books it won't be a big deal, now that I have everything set up with my apps.   

[Jane]

When traveling, I won't want to deal with using the website on my tablet to buy a book.  Fortunately Overdrive has become easier to use since it began and I have more then enough reading options.

[Laura]

Good evening.

[Laura]

Glad to hear John's mom is home. I hope she stays well.

[Laura]

I got a temporary plate for the car. I hope the real license number is different than the paper one. I think it's an awful license plate number.

[Jane]

With Google wanting 15% cut of all the digital books sold from the apps I understand why B&N & Kindle made the decision to change.

From Bruce:

I can't remember - did dear Jane get a copy of my latest book? I can't seem to get it on Barnes and Noble - they've made something very difficult and I can't figure it out - Amazon is, of course, easy. But I know she can read Kindle.

I had mentioned to you that I can't read on my Kindle right now as it is too bright and hurts my eyes.  Now I have to figure out how to purchase books using Kindle since I can no longer do it on my tablet using the app.  Since I am more familiar with Barnes & Noble I started with them.  Hopefully it is a similar process to set up Kindle.

You can still use your tablet. You just need to go to the amazon website using a browser vs using the kindle app.

Vibes for DR JohnG's mother!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Jennifer]

My niece's high school graduation was on Friday. It was streamed on the school's youtube channel which is how I thought that I would have to watch it. They were only allowed 3 tickets per student. But on Friday my niece was able to get an extra ticket.

I'm so glad that I was able to go as she was the Salutatorian. And also surprisingly won the last award (student of the year). She was so shocked as it's 250 graduating students. But it was such a beautiful surprise.

Yes, I have books on both of my apps to eventually read.

[Jane]

Jennifer do I remember correctly that you have the Kindle Paperwhite 10?  My brother's did a software update and has had a problem with all of his unread books not showing up.

That is wonderful you were able to go.  Congratulations on her award plus being the Salutatorian. 

[Jane]

Three tickets is an odd number.  Did your father go or her sister?

[Jane]

I got a temporary plate for the car. I hope the real license number is different than the paper one. I think it's an awful license plate number.

Why did they change the number instead of just issuing you a new plate?  That seems odd to me.

[Laura]

They are sending me a new plate. I'm assuming the paper one has the number that I'll have. But I'm hoping not.

[Jane]

I hope you are right.  I like numbers I can remember.

[Jane]

'night

[singdaw]

Yes, DR Jane - my Kindle dims down to a very low light level.
