What another blog for me not to write?

Well, I'm going to try a third blog. This one is for my reading, mostly just short comments and not full reviews, but who knows how it will turn out...

I have two ebook readers, the Sony Reader (PRS-505) and the Barnes and Noble Nook. I also have a Motorola Droid with the Nook, Kindle, Kobo, Borders, Aldiko, and Wattpad applications on it. I bought the Sony Reader in October 2007 and the Barnes & Noble Nook in April 2010 so about 2.5 years apart. Most of the books on the Sony are either free ebooks or from Baen books (purchased and free), I have purchased a few via the Borders/Sony online store. I have copied all of the free ebooks to the memory card in my Nook, but I am mostly using it to read new books I’ve purchased from B&N. I also still have a number of real books in my library that I haven't gotten around to reading yet. Most of the time I am in the process of reading three or four books.

Just a Word for July

Don't really have time for much, but I noticed I hadn't posted anything yet during July so....

Yard work going slowly, but getting done. I have been working in the garage and I'll add some of those pictures to the slide show to the right. Been shopping for a new 'fridge, looking mostly at ones with the freezer on the bottom.

Rosie's been her normal abnormal self this month. Soft and friendly most of the time, but every once in a while all fangs and laid back ears.

Last night I finished reading The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon. It was a very enjoyable read. I have to admit that I'd never heard of Percy Fawcett before starting this book. In reading this book I learned that he was the basis for several characters in books and movies that I am familiar with. I won't spoil the book by going into detail I will strongly recommend it if you like adventure stories like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World. The Indiana Jones movie series, et cetera

eBook Readers on the Droid

Well, the Nook App. for the Droid is out today! I now have Adobe Reader, Aldiko (premium version), Borders, Kindle, Kobo, Nook and Wattpad on my Droid. I've been using Aldiko the most but, since I have a Nook I'll probably be switching to it as the most used eReader app.

More about Rosie

In my last post I mention how aggressive Rosie was the day after the thunderstorms. I now think this was because there was water in the basement.

This last Sunday I rearranged the bedroom. Rosie was underfoot the entire time snooping into everything I was doing and voicing her concerns the whole time. Meow this and Meow that, along with the occasional MMRRFFF and MURRURR and RRURKIK.

Last night a couple of police cars stopped in the intersection nearest my house, with their lights flashing. Rosie was sitting on her look-out table in the front window (one of those fold-up wooden TV trays). When the lights started flashing she took off and hid under the bed. Now, I'm concerned she's been doing something illegal while I'm at work. Possibly running a Cat-House. When I asked her about this she just looked at me all wide-eyed and innocent.

I mowed this morning. Not long, just on either side of the garage to the alley. It was WAY too long and I had to do just a little at a time. I have Thursday off this week so hopefully I'll get more done then.

eBook Price Wars

Wouldn't you know it. I buy a new eBook reader and then the price drops. But, If you're in the market for an eReader it seems this summer might be a good time.
