The below link does not work correctly. It will take you to a page where, if you scroll down to near the bottom, you'll see the correct link :D

I've added data to Wikipedia! :D About the origin of Archie's Riverdale... check out the first paragraph of the section called "Origins" in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverdale_(Archie_Comics)

sent. It's a bit blurry I'm afraid. I need more practise with these modern technologies.

I've just seen your comment on the thread.

I like it, it does what I want it to do without fuss. You'll want to get the Calibre library software from MobileRead (free) Mobile Read which is fine website with lots of useful info as well.

Things it doesn't do:
Search, dictionary, keypad/annotations, read MOBI files (Calibre will convert non-DRM files into Epub just fine - but you can't buy from Amazon, though there are lots of other sources out there)

Particular plus points - the LightWedge cover, easy navigation intuative to use, good screen display.

Put it this way. I'm currently reading some pbooks, because I'd bought them. I'd much rather read them as ebooks.

If you've got any specific questions feel free to ask. - note I can't buy the kindle here and haven't been able to directly compare them.

Thanks for the inquiry, yes, they will be.

I checked last week in behalf of a recruit stationed in Iraq, and was told, that all nine of my current titles are in the pipeline. I've put in a query to ask when to expect them - waiting, due to short staff/summer schedule and many personnel out on holiday. I understand other format e versions are out now - Reading_Fox is aware of them.

Hope you are having a great summer! (I do lurk alot more than I post)

Meh, I went out with my Anime Blogger Buddies or ABB's, to see the new Star Trek movie. Still sans any form of girlfriend, but single life isn't so bad. I played Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Magic: The Gathering with an old friend who I've known for eight years.

My brother is in Queensland and I phoned him, I haven't heard if the record storms up there are affecting him! He's been ok, but he has lots of assignments and has been a bit ill.

Had a flu shot yesterday and my arm is officially sore. Plus side is I no longer wake up with a sniffly nose every morning!

I'm back, Mr. Groo, I'm back on LibraryThing with some new books to put in. How have you been keeping?

posted by Jakeofalltrades at 5:18 am (EST) on May 20, 2009

Just wondering if you've gotten around to reading either of your Santa thing books yet? Curious to know your thoughts.

Oh, Groo, that sucks. A dodgy boss can ruin even the best of jobs. Here's to your boss having a sudden desire to become a missionary in central Asia.

I wasn't sure that anyone would get my "How do you dress" reply either (I said "To the left") but someone did. Just post and hope for the best!

Yes, insomnia is very frustrating! I took something for a migraine around 8:30 and crashed. It was very good sleep while it lasted. I'm going to lay back down and try to read a bit. Take care! Have a great rest of the week.

MrGroo,

Hadn't "seen" you around lately so I came here to say hey and found everyone else clamoring for Facebook friend status, so, me too! me too! I'm friends with Misti T. and Karen B. on there already and I managed to find the Green Dragon group on Facebook, too . . . you aren't still AFK, are you?

ooh, cool, groo. I will friend you all.

posted by littlegeek at 6:11 pm (EST) on Feb 16, 2009

Yeah, I'm on Facebook, so I'm off to try to find you! Wish me luck!

posted by hobbitprincess at 9:05 pm (EST) on Feb 15, 2009

Thanks, groo! However, there are 427 group results for Green Dragon. Any chance you could send me a link to the group? Even if you just narrowed it down to 5 or so and let me guess which one was the REAL GD.

OOOh....I've flatout refused so far to get anything like facebook but if YOU guys are there...I may just join. :)

Thanks for the feedback.

I friended you on facebook. I don't know the other people's real names!

Hi Groo!

No, I'm not, but daughter is a keen Facebooker. She's put Better Half on (not without protest from Herself), and knows better than to ask me...

Awesome, send me an invite on there!
