What I Couldn't Say

Sometimes I love when I read someone write something that I wish I had said. Sometimes I hate it. In the case of Sarah Millar's article iPad vs. Kindle, which would you prefer? (here) she says what I've tried to say in a concise and brief manner. The column addresses why a Kindle is worthwhile and ends with this passage:

"In her column this week, Ellen Roseman said she favoured the iPad over her Sony e-Reader because her iPad does so much more than just lets you read books on it. But that’s exactly why an e-reader is better than a tablet. A tablet is a device that does many things, but is not dedicated for one use. An e-reader, on the other hand, does one thing and does it very well."

Couldn't have said it better, . . . tried to.

Secondly, this article (here) about my alma mater, Lamar High School in Houston, is pushing to go e-book in their library. I spent alot of time in the Lamar library. When I was in school I spent my lunch hours in the library. When the library was closed I sat on the steps outside the library and read. Would be nice to be a student there again and be able to download any of those books to my Kindle or Droid.

We are definitely not related. Droid, Kindle? When did you turn into such a nerd. Oh wait. The whole library thing you just described, I guess you started in High School
