    2021 Week 50 – Kindle Upgrade

    I’ve been an Amazon Kindle user ever since V2 was released in 2009. That version had a keyboard and built-in cellular modem that allowed you to transfer data and download books anywhere, anytime. The Kindle e-reader does one thing and, in my opinion, does it very well. It provides a distraction-free reading experience. OK, two…

    2021 Week 45 – Tech Upgrades & Tacos

    I’ve been absolutely loving the new iPad Pro since I purchased it a few months ago. In fact, It’s my primary computing device when I’m home. Paired with a Lap Desk from Amazon, I can crank out all kinds of work and keep up with my reading from the comfort of my couch (while watching…

  • My Kindle – Part 2

    Continued from Part 1 Ended up going out of town the day the Kindle was delivered.  Did not get to check it out until last night. I hate it when UPS doesn’t match their delivery to my schedule (ha)! First impressions: Small Light Thin Solid This thing is a LOT smaller than I expected.  The…

  • My Kindle – Part 1

    The Amazon Kindle 2 is a second generation eBook reader that uses the latest in eInk technology.  With a built-in cellular modem, storage for 1500 books, and support for PDF, MP3 and Audible files this marvel of technology seems to have it all. After numerous recommendations and a lot of research I finally broke down…
