Why I Chose Kobo Over Kindle

Aldous Huxley is turning in his grave. ;)

I'm indulging the best of both worlds. I have the Kobo, but I also have piles and piles of actual books. The Kobo is a new toy and therefore a novelty right now. I haven't had it long enough to work out all of the pros and cons yet.

The major pro so far is the fact that it's lightweight. I've spent my entire life lugging books around in my bag. I don't even know that the Kobo is there. Plus, when you're reading it, you lounge about even more lazily, for the same reasons.

Major con so far is that you don't know how much of the book you've got through. I didn't realize until now how much pleasure I get from glancing at my progress. I see x amount of pages left and that must trigger something nice inside. With a Kobo, you've just got endless digital pages until the book finishes.

The stories remain the same though.

Why I Chose Kobo Over Kindle

Interesting exchange on use of trademark names. I'm not yet in the market for an e-Reader. Still got so many books on my shelves that have not yet been read that I think I'll go through them before I see what is available virtually. In spite of that, I really found your discussion of closed shop interesting. For some reason, I am having a hard time feeling like I belong to this "brave new world" (notice it is not capitalized).

Easy Ways to Teach Kids Multiplication

anything that helps kids learn math is great. If a child isn't getting math its because they're missing something, need to review, this is a great way to make sure kids get what they missed that has them performing poorly in math. Another great and helpful article Miss Katiem2, Thanks, Scott

Bearpaws Boots Where to find the Best Deals in Footwear

NIce boots, my daughter wears those stinky Ugs. They are four times the price of these boots. I think the whole Ugg things was a big marketing joke. Make ugly boots, price them high and see if people will buy them because we get a few famous people to wear them. I'm here to tell you the Ug or Ugg boots are cheap, they stink and fall apart in no time. I told my daughter I'm not wasting another penny on those ugly cheap boots again. I'll show her these boots they are a doable price and I know I can trust your recommendations. Thanks Katiem2, Scott

How to Become The Go to Online Writer

Very nice reading material you've created Miss Katiem2. I've often wondered how writers as good as yourself do it. I can tell you one thing for sure, there is a vast difference in many onlne writers, like you compared to others at this site and the various other sites you write for. Your work is interesting to read and you make the site look so nice with your creative page designs. Some writers are sloppy, you should say something about that. I leave your pages check out some others and often come right back to your neat well designed pages that are obviously written by an author who is interested in the material. Some people do just toss stuff up and expect we, the reader, will be interested, NOT! I'm probably one of your biggest fans. You had me at your easy truck unloader article at this is freelance. I bought it from you there because it was an amazing product and one you yourself spoke about with conviction as you shared so many amazing true stories and details about the product. I went back to that very article several times reading your user tips several times until I was a pro at using my unloader. Since then I keep coming back to follow your work because I know you share really helpful and interesting information about real life products that meet real life needs, making life more enjoyable and easy. Thanks for doing what you do and helping others to be better online writers.

Why I Chose Kobo Over Kindle

Brenda - That is really bizarre, especially since Barnes and Noble developed the Nook! I've only had my Kobo for a week, but it's stood up to scrutiny and all that I've thrown at it so far.

Sam - I wonder if the confusion here is because we're a) stepping into a legal minefield, where there's a different between trademark, patents and trade names; and b) the source I'm referring to is talking about US law. Trademarks have infinite protection in the US, but that can be lost as soon as it becomes a verb.

In the US, you can happily call something an aspirin, even if it's not made by Bayer. But you couldn't call a computer an Apple, because they've retained the trademark protection there.

Basically we're talking about exclusivity. Think of the Duncan Yo-Yo trademark case in 1965. (See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo-yo#The_Duncan_era) Donald F. Duncan had stupidly released adverts with such slogans as, 'If it isn't a Duncan, it isn't a Yo-Yo'. That was used against the company in court.

Until then, you couldn't have said that your toy was a Yo-Yo, if you weren't part of the Duncan corporation. It would be like saying that my Kobo is a Kindle now. After that court-case, Yo-Yo became a legally generic world. Any company could use it. I could make one now and call it a Harrington Yo-Yo and Duncan couldn't touch me. They lost millions that way.

I've reworded it again for clarity.

Cupcake Card Template and Tutorial

Your idea for cupcake cards is wonderful! They look so inviting, everyone will pick up one to see what's inside. I can see why Digby_Adams would go for it. :-)

Puréed Fruit Cocktail with Honey and Mint

Well, this one does combine a few of my favorites - apples, melons, mint and honey! I doubt I will be able to get my hands on kiwis and avocadoes though. Any replacements?
