Pondering Kindle
Kindle
I’ve been pondering a Kindle for quite some time. But every time I look at the price tag, I say: Uh..no. $360 for an eBook reader? The Kindle is too big to fit in all but the largest pocket and has a screen only slightly smaller than a laptop. Aside from the $360 price tag, books are about $10 each and you can only use books from Amazon? I read it does not support PDF files? So why not just get a laptop? To me the Kindle looks big and bulky of course I am used to reading things on my cell phone.
There has been talk for some time about cell phones as a reader and how that technology might someday morph into an eBook reader. The problem with that is pagination. The kindle is the size it is because it needs to display pages of documents without special formatting. The sites and things you read on your cell phone have been specially formatted for wireless devices. So the Kindle has its place. I just know it’s not in my collection of toys.
It’s a Super Spam!
Lately I have been getting a lot of what I call Super Spam in my Akismet collection. What a garbage collection! Or as my friends in the UK would say: What a load of rubbish! Does anyone really expect to get these kinds of comments published? I am pasting an excerpt here although the entire spam was 963 words (and of course I have removed the spammy links from it). This is what I call automation run amok. Thank goodness I have Akismet so these don’t show up in my comments!
