The Kindle itself works as advertized but there is no point in having a reader without content. New books are out on other platforms but not out for Kindle. I bought based on product review and now have a reader that I cannot use. If I were looking for old or obscure content that would be expected but both books are by best selling authors – one came out April 20 and the other on April 27. Both books are availble for readers by other vendors. What is even more interesting is that one of the books is available on Kindle – just not in the United States! Too bad for me that I did not find out this issue in the first 30 days – would have returned the Kindle. Again no point having a reader you cannot use.

This book is great start to finish. I didn’t want it to end. I will miss these characters. The writer does such a wonderful job of painting such a poignant setting. Loved every second of it.

I graduated from Hi School in 1950. There are no words to describe how regimented the world was at that time. There were no rebels as models that was before James Dean & Elvis. The sterotypical girl were supposed to resemble Doris Day and the male be as stoic and jock like as possible to be accepted in that world so long ago. The movies were our role models very few had T.V. and T.V. was impossibly stupid in 1950. Even if we were unaware of our behavior we were attempting to emulate what we had seen on the screen. If you didnt fit the “Keep up with the Jones”
mentality you were an outcast. The phoniness and the superficiality of this decade is what makes “CATCHER IN THE RYE” so relevant today. I had heard about this book for years, never read it until my later years. This book is a monumental work of art that todays teenager can identify with even more so than in 1951 when the book was published.

So far, after two weeks of using this pedometer, it has yet to shut off. In the instructions, it says after 5 minutes of not touching any buttons or moving it, it should shut off on its own. It does not. I was the fourth person of my group of friends that are training for a 60 mile marathon, that purchased the same model pedometer, and we all have the same issue. Besides that, it seems to be accurate and it isn’t as sensitive to false (non-walking) movement as others I have had. I would recommend this product!

The book was in even better condition then described and at a very fair price.

You will only know if you have been totally brainwashed by religion by reading this book with an open mind and ears to hear. If you can then you will be truely blessed by dialogue that takes place between God and a plain old human being that sincerely wanted answers to the hard questions in his own life. This book could possibly change you life like nothing else you have ever read. Take a chance…if you have been considering it…it may just be your time?

If I had more $$ I would have bought the larger storage device, but that doesn’t make me love this one any less. No regrets with this purchase, another great Apple product in my home.

Boy, am I ever disappointed in Shure. I’ve been in the business for 20+ years using Shure products, wired and wireless. I’m also a licensed professional engineer to give some comfort in my credibility. My church recently started having some issues with our old Shure UHF wireless transmitter (10+ years old). I thought it was time to purchase a new unit. After reviewing the specs between the PGX and SLX systems I couldn’t see any difference in the printed specs other than some bells & whistles in the receiver unit. I chose to purchase the PGX24/SM58 unit to save a little money as we didn’t really need the extra bells & whistles. Got the first unit, hooked it up, sync’d the mic, set the gain structure, ready to go. During the service I noticed a lot of audio distortion coming from the unit, and I’m thinking maybe low batteries came with the unit. I put in new batteries after the first service. I had the same problem in the next service. The distortion is so bad I actually had congregation members asking me “What’s up with the microphone, it sounded funny.” I call Shure explain the issue. They tell me “No, it shouldn’t have that distortion in there and to send it back.” I get a new unit the following week. Hook it up and guess what the same crappy distorted audio. I’m frustrated with this result so I start trying to think of anything crazy that might be going on. The PG series transmitter has a -10dB pad switch built into the unit for loud SPL’s, so I’m thinking maybe the transmitter is overloading. I apply the -10dB pad and no change at all. If it is a transmitter overload issue these things won’t handle much as this was used only for speaking. The receiver unit indicated overloading much of the time, but even in non overload conditions the distortion was still the same. Another beast was the switching frequencies on this unit. Lots of cut outs and static when this unit changes frequency due to range (My install is less than 60ft.) This PGX serie

I have almost two years of experience using my Hoover SteamVac Carpet Clearner. My carpets are cream color which is a good test as to how well a carpet cleaning machine works. This machine is GREAT. Just cleaning my carpets myself with great results has saved me a lot of money on hiring a professional carpet cleaning company. I feel that my carpets come out as clean as if I did hire a professional. My investment sure has paid for itself many times over.

It is everything and more. I had no idea you can go on the internet, get news and weather and more. Go get one yourself. It’s great!
