I had a feeling that before I even picked up this book that I wouldn’t like it, but I have heard a lot of commotion over it and thought I would see what all of the hype was about, albeit a bit late on the bandwagon. But not late enough, however, to pick this up for around $8 for the Kindle… it appears as though Amazon is likely capitalizing on the fact that this is now a major motion picture drawing more interest in the book itself.

Life Goal #34895: Writing a Novel
August 3rd, 2010
At some point in my life I want to write an honest-to-goodness novel. There, I said it. I’ve made several attempts so far, but never really fleshed anything out completely. Perhaps a novel is too much of an undertaking to perform at once. Perhaps I should start with something shorter, like a short story. Or a novella. Or just sit down and start writing. The part I never seem to factor in when I get these dreams is how on earth I’ll ever have the time to finish it, and for someone who sits at the computer all day long with instant gratification, how on earth will I have enough patience? (And be able to stand sitting at the computer all night long to write, I gotta get away from that glowing screen!!)
OSNOVA King James Version Bible
July 7th, 2010
My first honest-to-goodness purchase for the Kindle was a KJV bible from OSNOVA because of the direct jump navigational functionality. For $4.99 you can’t beat it!
Depending on your individual preferences, you can purchase a version where each verse is on a separate line, or paragraphed (which is what I chose), or without any navigation or chapter/verse numbers for those who desire to use the Text-to-Speech feature.

The Choice Effect
July 5th, 2010
Apparently I was the lucky one that got this book for free, as it now comes with a $9.99 price tag, and thus I can no longer tag it as a free book. However, this is a great reminder to you all that you should check Amazon regularly for free books and download the heck of them… you can always delete them later if you decide they are really not your cup of tea.

You knew it was coming…
July 5th, 2010
You just didn’t know it would take me this long to blog about it. As I mentioned in the Kindle 2 Price Cut post, I was now much closer to lounging with my Kindle in total bliss, and sure enough shortly after I took the plunge. I ordered it last Friday, and it arrived on Thursday. Which means I have had the Kindle for all of 4 days. I have already read 2 books, and contemplating the next. The device has also been updated to the latest firmware which includes organizing books into collections. My goal for the 4th of July Official Work HolidayTM is to 1) not forget to exercise or eat and 2) Get all of my digital books properly categorized and organized.
