Kindle

[threemeninaboat]

John's sister-in-law, trying to be nice, got us a Kindle as a wedding gift. The one with the keyboard. John picked it out.

So far our relationship has gone like this:

*poke* *poke* *poke* "It's broken."
"It's not broken. It's just not a touch screen."
"What???? It looks like the Apple IIe. I hate the buttons, they hurt my hands. I hate the screen, it's dark and ugly. I hate that moving motion it makes when I turn the page. The internet sucks on this. None of the books I want are available. Why is it in black and white? The translator sucks.... I hate this more than I hate Apple products (I never thought I'd hate anything more than Apple products)."

So.... it's John's Kindle. Every time I try to use it I hate it more. He likes it though. Probably because it looks like an oscilloscope.

For those of you who want one, don't get a Kindle Fire. I have had issues downloading books and when I talked to Amazon, and looked on some of the forums for troubleshooting it, there's no ETA for resolution of this problem. Basically, I'd purchase a book and it would supposedly dowload it, but all I'd get is the book cover and blank pages.~from her journal.
