    My Amazon Kindle review....finally!

    If a kindle novel costs $2 less then the paper back version. Caution math ahead - at a cost of $360 per kindle 2/$2 less per novel that would mean that one would need to purchase 180 novels to make the unit pay off. Assuming that one is not a fast reader and reads one novel per month thats 15...

    Nelson DeMille

    I tend to the thriller novels and it seems to me that demille tends to write some thriller novels and some that are not so. So I am not as nuts about his works as some of the others in here are.

    The demise of Borders bookstore

    I can offer Robert a way to get cheaper books from Borders. Go to borders.com/online/store/BRLandingView and create an account and login. As you purchase items from them they will email you cupons for further purchases. Cupons are typically between 20 - 25% and around the holidays they can go...

    My Amazon Kindle review....finally!

    A pal of mine once told me that modern society is running into a technical problem with wireless devices. There are so many of them running around these days transmitting all sorts of data that modern society is running out of wireless channels to use at any given point in time. While the...

    "Dune" As good as "Lord of the Rings"?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I belive that Dune is classified as Science Fiction while Lord of the Rings is Fantasy. This puts the two of them in different catagorys from which there is no comparison. Dune would compete with such epics as Star Wars and Star Trek, which are the giants of...

    My Amazon Kindle review....finally!

    I would like to see how forum members respond to this analysis of the Kindle. I have been rather put off by the Kindle becuase I have analyzed it on a cost/benefits ratio. in other words the benefits of using the Kindle need to outway the costs of using it. The only benefit that I can see to...

    good action/adventure

    from what I understand cussler only writes a small fraction of the novels under his name. In my humble opinion some of the other authors have not managed the ability to keep the reader focused and the book liniar. There used to be Tom Clancey, but from what I understand at this point he is...

    Libraries vs book stores

    Ok, a friend asked me this question and I am curious what you all think. If there are public libraries just about everywhere why would one ever need to go to a book store? Why pay for a novel when you can read it for free?

    Recommendations Wanted

    I would like to see what forum members think on what should be next on my to be read stack. I am a typical male when it comes to books. I like thrillers, political ones in particular those where the President of the US is involved in some manner. I typically like those books that are part of...

    Tired of being taken by surprise

    I have a list of several authors that I like to read. Every once in a while I am taken by suprise that one of these authors have published something new. What I would like is some sort of internet service that will e-mail me when any author on a list that I specify publishes something. What...

    Warning Log

    Perhaps I am dense, but I do not get it. What's a warning log? I think that it is something that keeps track of where a viewer is at a point in time. When you say someone is ok with the warning log what is that person being told? Perhaps I am dense but, I don't quite get it yet.

    Web sites

    Do any of you know a web site that lists books that will be published within the next month in both hardback and paperback? How about an author tracker, so to speak, where I type in the name of an author and I get what books he/she intends to publish in the near future, next month or two? I...
