Comments for Duke City Diary http://librarydiary.wordpress.com My New Life in Albuquerque Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:58:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU Comment on Ebook Readers: Sony and Samsung by Don Brubaker http://librarydiary.wordpress.com/2007/06/02/ebook-readers-sony-and-samsung/#comment-236 Don Brubaker Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:14:18 +0000 http://librarydiary.wordpress.com/2007/06/02/ebook-readers-sony-and-samsung/#comment-236 Although your post has been up for 9 months, I still wanted to comment. I purchased a Q1 just for ebook reading... having graduated from the ebookwise reader. With the extended battery I get about 5 hours of reading time, but am usually close to a plug in. I like the I have a 30 GB HD, and my entire collection is in my hands. I also like that it is so versatile... able to read all of the popular DRM formatted books. And since I read a lot while my wife is asleep, the display is perfect. I've read over 100 novels on the device and while I occasionally think I'd like the new Kindle, Cybook, or Sony Reader... the fact that I can purchase books in a variety of formats and yet read them on this one device makes this still the best choice for me.

I was the person who put all those books together several years ago. I also wanted to let you know that I’ve launched another site for students and schools that has a similar idea but for the new site I’ve improved the quality of the ebooks and have removed all licensing so anyone can download and share the classic books however they like. I’d love to get feedback on how my ebooks look on the devices you’ve been looking at too. Planet eBook - Free classic literature http://www.planetebook.com Regards, Richard Hi Steven,

]]> Comment on Facebook Chain Letters by Capri http://librarydiary.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/facebook-chain-letters/#comment-227 Capri Mon, 03 Dec 2007 16:49:03 +0000 http://librarydiary.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/facebook-chain-letters/#comment-227 I agree with you. I never invite friends whenever adding applications, and haven't added any except when friends invited me to lately. I don't even like the way some of these applications keep harping at you to do this or that to x number of friends to reach another level. Part of the reason I don't add a lot is because I always have to make sure to uncheck several checkboxes that are on by default - "put a box on your profile" or "place a link below the profile picture on any page" Gack, what clutter! There are a lot of apps I'd like to use, but not sure it would be worth adding them. None of my friends have sent me any audio comments, for example, and how I would love it if they did! Instead, they send each other and sometimes me dumb chain letters on our fun/super wall. Glargh - got that "Why do we sleep in church, stay awake at movies, don't talk about God but tell gossip and lies" chain letter on my fun wall yesterday. When I can find a site that debunks it specifically, I'll post it in reply. I agree with you.
