So I had the Library connect me so I could borrow books. Its just for their Library. But I found a site:http://search.overdrive.com - you search by zipcode and will give you public libraries that have eBook content within 100 miles of the zipcode. You will need a library card/account to check out ebooks. Has anyone tried this? I plan on trying it when I finish the two books I have checked out from my library.

They said that Kindle could tell if you finished the book, skipped sections and did you delete, lend it or put in archives. Kindle said that they weren't interested in what individuals did with their books, but kept the information for authors so they could see how people read their books. This way authors could tell how to make their books so more people will buy their books. <B...

The character of Annabeth and the fairytale ending were very unbelievable to me. The drastic change was too much and the extreme talents that find instant approval, also unbelievable. The book reads like a fairytale. I did enjoy it, but would not recommend it.

Bad relationships, overly passive and refusing to deal with the obvious. <BR> <BR> #1 Would you care to share how situations in your past made you into the person you have become? <BR> <BR> #2 Have you conquered your demons or are you still working on it? <BR> <BR> 1.

But it also shows her realization of her own talents and possibilities. I would not want him back and wouldn't want to see her with him back. Unless there was a miraculous change within every part of him.

So, I get involved in a good novel, and I won't let myself read it unless I'm running--or walking--on the treadmill. Makes me stay longer.

I set it up on the display rack set my speed (and enlarged my font so I could read more easily) and got to running and reading. I got so engrossed in the book I was reading I forgot all about the treadmill and suddenly I had doubled my work out time! AWESOME! <BR> <BR> Any body els do this? Does it help you?

My mom was in a diabetic coma for a week and me and my dad were at the hospital a lot with our library books. We bonded over the books we like (come to find out he reads a lot of the same ones I do!) and we started chatting about the kindle and the nurse heard us and brought hers in and that was it!

It makes reading so easy. I am about to become an empty nester as my youngest is planning on getting married at the end of the year. I have two grandchildren and another daughter. The grandchildren are hers and they are in Wisconsin. I live in VA with my dh and dd. I am trying to lose 100 pounds by this time next year. I think that is all there is about me at this point. <BR> Sun, 21 Mar 2010 22:00:11 EST Reading The Spark on Kindle? http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/team_messageboard_thread.asp?board=0x39930x32730417 I'm just finding it a little hard to remember what chapter I'm in.

I love my Kindle and always sing its praises whenever someone asks "what's that?" I always tell people to just take the leap and invest the money - you'll never be sorry you did. I've had mine since May last year and it has paid for itself more than once. <BR> <BR> I've struggled with weight issues my whole life.

I kind of like the look of the Kindly lying around, but I'm thinking about getting a cover. It has to be cute and/or elegant - and NO LEATHER. Also, I like the book-flap kind better than the sleeve types. <BR> <BR> Any suggestions? What do you use? Know any good websites with a good variety?

I first found out about the Kindle through the Oprah show and the deal Jeff Bezos offered on there to introduce it, as well as my pastor had one and talked about how he liked it. My hubby travelled a lot for work and is an avid reader so I bought it for him for Christmas. He loved it! He works with computers and loves all things electronic.

I had no idea that it was going to be competing in a way with the Kindle. <BR> <BR> I am going to get one for quick easy internet access so I can track my food on spark people without having to turn on my main PC. But for books, I really don't think it would work well. The e-ink with the kindle makes reading just like reading any other book - I have tried to read on computers, laptops, ...

I have only bought 4 books, but I have probably gotten 50 for free. I think that the Kindle will be a boost to my weight loss goals, because I won't be eating or drinking while I am reading it.
