finishing Neal's self-ironic Reamde A Novel and just completed Ready Player One
by Earnest Cline, and a couple of Terry Pratchett's that I missed the first time. Also doing a close-reading of the Book of Genesis--just for something completely different.And speaking of reading, my Sony Reader PRS-505 has served me well for almost five years. But it is getting time to change out the embedded lithium-ion battery. I checked around and I can do the swap myself for a $13 higher capacity, fresh battery and about half an hour of time. But then Amazon announced their latest Kindle line; at the most frugal end (less apprehension taking it to the beach or letting a friend take it for a spin), they are selling Kindle, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display
brand new for about $80.So--I can get a lighter and more portable reading device with a higher resolution, later generation e-ink screen with Wi-Fi, and ability to load more than a thousand of my own .mobi and other format books and documents inexpensively found around the Internet or instantly through Amazon's huge inventory, with a month-long battery life under light use AND with a new year warranty for the cost of six new PRS-505 batteries of unknown provenance? AND I get to savor the unwrapping of a new toy?
Well, sorry, Sony Reader, you've had a good run--thank you and good night.
Kindle here I come.
