So I wanted to read the Hunger Games. I’ve heard a lot about it, met a fellow on the airplane ride from Canton who was reading it, he said it was great. What a terrific recommendation. Naturally, I went to Amazon to buy it on my Kindle. I see that Amazon says I can get it for free if I buy a subscription to Amazon Prime.
I’ve heard about this, methinks. This is the lending library Carey was describing to me. I pay a subscription fee and get access to tons of books without paying one by one. I give it a try. Seventy-nine dollars and I’m a Prime member. I can get the Hunger Games for free.
This is when it starts to suck. I can’t get the Hunger Games via the web. I’m on Amazon but there is no “Buy it Prime” button. I have to buy it off of my Kindle. That’s not too bad I think to myself. Then I try to read it on other Kindles, or on my Blackberry. That’s a big no go. This is what I like most about the Kindle e-reading experience.
I canceled my membership to Amazon Prime and was provided the most positive aspect of it I have yet found, a full refund. I tried it, don’t do it yourself.

I feel so bad for you. Had the same thing happen too me, bought icecream to keep my hand cool, but it melted in like an hour. Total BS. at least you got your money back. What else is icecream good for if not soothing an aching hand.
Take with a grain of salt pinheads who begin sentences with the word "so."
