No need to be nervous. Be confident. If you are nervous, it will show. Let the recruiters know that you have confidence in your abilities and that you are the man for their company.

Should I take the plunge and buy the new kindle? I kinda want one for the convenience, but I really do love the feel of a good book in my hand......

K2 or DX?

I LOVE my Kindle2 but would be rather annoyed with the DX based on it being too large. It takes some minor adjustments to get used to reading on it but it is very easy on the eyes - like paper - and it is wonderful to not have to schlep 20# of books on a trip.

Not phenomenal and a couple CRJs on the itinerary but some fun lines and crazy cheap for Canada.

I'm very tempted.

ETA: Do we get RDM bonus on AC or not? I know initially the answer was no but I thought that changed earlier this month???

I looked at the nook but read a rather damning review, so it put me off it a bit.

k2. I thought about the DX and decided that it was just a bit too big to be convenient. The k2 now has pdf capability, which was one of the criteria for me considering the DX, so now that is a moot point. I want to be able to download pdf's from the HBR and other biz periodicals, and so that's why I was holding out on getting a kindle earlier.
