i just started with my Paperwhite a couple of months ago. i was full of trepidation and fear, until i started using it. but it was immediately pretty much perfect.

I started with a Nook Simple Touch. Worked fine and had great battery life but the lack of a back light and no apps drove me to a tablet (iPad Air). Haven't touched the Nook since I first powered on the tablet.

Even the fire's have pretty good battery life(kill the brightness a bit and turn on airplane mode). Beats having to move the massive programming books around, cheaper too.
I do kinda miss having paper backs for fiction, but I'm out of shelf space for them anyway.

I've had one for around five years and it's fantastic when I have to travel.
As far as I am concerned it is as readable as a paperback.

Gin lovers of the world rejoice as World Gin Day returns for its sixth year on Saturday 14 June 2014!!
World Gin Day is a celebration of all things gin, giving us a legitimate excuse (not that we need one) to mix up a cocktail and learn about all of the exceptional gins that are currently on the market.
Wow! That's the weekend sorted.

I cry fowl(pun intended, although I don't know why - that Alzheimers kickinng in again) what of World Tequila day or World Bourbon Day or ...?

Jose just makes the day look Especial.

Yeah, that's every day. Gin just needs a special one because otherwise it wouldn't have enough support.
Awful stuff.

Gin and Scotch are at the bottom of my list.

As long as it's a 2 item list, that's fine.

Well it's a great day indeed and I'll certainly look forward and mark those days on my calendar.

G&T with blocks of cucumber is the local favorite at the moment.

Here I was all ready for a long debugging session and I stumbled on the bug within the first few minutes. Now I don't have anything super important to do the rest of the day.
And my Sra. has prepared saice[^] and falso conejo[^] with a nice locro[^] with platano maduro[^] for lunch. It looks like I may have to make a difficult choice or eat some of everything.

Lunch early!
Lunch often!

A delightful idea. Not sure why I hadn't thought of it myself.
|
|
|
|
|
And in light of the previous thread[^], the Sra. will then say "Why do you eat so much? You'll get fat."

You should really share with the rest of the class, you poor, poor man.

I was thinking . . . and it dawned upon me.
Along along, the cup they're talking about is actually worn a bit below the waistline.
It's certainly more fitting.

Just saying.

Don't you have something really interesting to say about your dinner?
