I’m in sales — I’m all about quota and “making my numbers”.
I am also very glad I didn’t review this as soon as I got it. It’s not the easiest to set up. I got it, opened it and put in the battery and put it aside. The directions don’t flow and it took my techie hubby to bail me out– and only after several tries. My first thought was to send it back. So, to avoid my frustration– put the battery in only when you are ready to set it up.
But now, I am in love. The goal is 10K steps a day or 5 miles. They add up. Doing laundry, making the bed and breakfast, etc etc added about a mile. Then I went for my 3 mile walk. My walk has markers and I found it to be accurate. Then it was a birthday celebration and I had a larger meal than usual. So instead of the 10K steps, I walked around my pool several steps. It’s 6PM and I’m at 15K, and feeling light (vs fat) from the meal.
These steps add up, to and fro the shop center parking lot is 75 steps each way. How easy is this– you overeat a bit so step it up! It’s only easy cause you can see your progress.
K– skip the harness. It comes with a string already and the bundled harness is $3 and they’re gonna charge you shipping. I was discouraged reading the other reviews– some saying “get something more serious” at this price? But next one will be a watch, waterproof at that. You need pockets for this. You can put it in your purse, but I don’t take my purse in sales calls.
So, I learned about pedometers, quotas and after one day– feel great. I’m addicted! It keeps me moving– did I mention I’m in sales and love improving my numbers?

The Kindle makes reading so easy.
Being able to have multiple books in one place to switch to on a whim is great.
Downloading new books is a snap and can even be a little dangerous with the one-click ordering system (you can easily get carried away with downloading all sorts of things and all of a sudden have spent A LOT of money, but don’t realize it until you look at your credit card statement)
The single BEST feature is the built in dictionary- I love love love being able to just highlight a word and see the meaning pop up at the bottom of the screen.
And the iPad does NOT read the same as the Kindle. Reading ebooks on the iPad is still like looking at a computer that is backlit and hard on the eyes. I can work all day on a computer and come home and continue to read my Kindle for hours and my eyes don’t get fatigued at all.
