I got a Kindle back in September/October (right around the price drop) and I love it. So much nicer to only have that in my bag versus several books for a trip. I'm a fast reader, so I can knock off a decent-sized novel (4-500 pages) on an ORD-west coast flight.

If you go with a Kindle + B&N eBooks, drop me a PM and I can walk you through the process to make the books readable on Kindle. Once you've got it setup, you can convert a book with a minute or two in front of the computer.

True story: just rang my wife in Sanibel, FL from a very wintry Wiltshire, UK.

Apparently, my wife has gone to cinema to see Sherlock Holmes (must be feeling homesick).

Young lady who works for us (Florida native) answered my wife's cellphone (as she correctly did not want to take it to the cinema, so left it at the office).

Young lady asked how I was. I said "fine, apart from being snowed in here".

She replied "sorry, I don't know what that means".

I do believe she was being genuine, or am I just a naive Brit?"

I'm sorry about being completely obtuse with this, but I cannot get my signature to work. Thanks to CM I figured out the FM part, but now I can't get my signature to show on FT. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? Or can you not see your own signature?

I just don't get why only on 739s.

Perhaps you could be a guinea-pig and try out "The Ladders." Am curious to know whether it's worthless.
