I took a class at Maui Community College that used Office 2007 so I wanted to put into practice what I learned at home. Office 2007 has now been replaced with the 2010 version and I could not find a copy anywhere, so I knew I could count on Amazon to have one and they did! Thank you for the easy process and quick shipping.

I love my Kindle. It’s very easy to use, books download very quickly, and I can shop on it to choose my next book. I thought having to press next page would bother me but not at all. I love books themselves so I had some reservations about switching to a Kindle but the financial side (other than initial cost) convinced me that I needed to do this.
The size is perfect and the weight is less than a hardback book. My only “problem” is that I can no longer cheat and read the last few pages of a book before I get to the end – actually that’s a bad habit that needed to be broken. I’m still learning on it but I’ve read 4 books so far and really love it. I like that I can organize the books by collections, i.e. book club selections vs. my selections (so far.)
Overall, anyone who loves to read would love this. Yes, I do miss having a physical book a little but Kindle has definitely won me over to electronic books.
Love my Kindle!!!
Christopher Columbus A Punch

First one we ever bought. Got this for my wife who is slightly technology challenged and she loves it. She is still learning the ins and out but got it one day and she was using it the very next and was all geeked about it. Wasn’t too big for her and didn’t feel she needed a sweat band on her wrist like lots of others have to do with the older version. Thinking of getting a bike mount for it and using it on the mountain biking trails. Will get a better understanding on how well it works in the trees that way!

Guess which one? Most people would choose the circus story, I would venture to guess. But for me, the old man in the nursing home was the superb plotline. Having observed my parents and grandparents and other people in that situation, I thought the author captured the experience, and the frustration for the…I always want to say ‘inmate’ rather than ‘patient’…who one day finds him/herself to be 90 (or 93) and wonders how this ever came about. The little indignities were all there, along with understanding that the ‘inmate’s’ children are getting on in years themselves and can’t assume caretaking. It was done with humor, compassion, and insight. I suppose a whole book devoted to a nursing home soap opera would have been too much, so the circus story paced it out.
I found myself skimming the chapters about the circus so I could get back to the nursing home drama. I often do that with books where I like one plotline but not the other. (The Devil in the White City; The Short History of a Prince). Pssst, don’t tell the authors, but I’ll bet a lot of other readers do, too.
