Why I Chose Kobo Over Kindle

Actually it is still not right, you can't lose a registered trademark simply because it became a generic word. Examples: 'to google' is now a generic verb / recognized verb, but Google still is a trademark. What you think of are trademarks based on generic words in the first place. like apple. Try to register Apple as a new trademark for a new computer line, bad luck (see http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/appletmlist.html) but it would be perfectly possible to register it as a trademark for a new line of furniture as long as isn't already registered as a trademark by another furniture company. Trademarks can't be lost simply by entering our language as a generic term, sorry. SY

Why I Chose Kobo Over Kindle

I have a Nook and I'm happy with it. The only problem is that every time I go to the B&N website to download a book they tell me I don't have a Kindle, and I have to call the company up. I'm really PO'ed about it right now and have been thinking of going to a Kindle. I mostly watch Netflix on mine when I go to bed at night. I also like to play the games. I'll check out the Kobo

Oh wow! I didn't realize that Aspirin was still a brand name in some parts of the world. *checks the list again* The majority of the world, in fact. I'll alter that accordingly.

Thanks for the tips. I'll look into that. I know that the Kobo (in Sainsburys) was cheaper than Kindle (on Amazon), because that was one of the first things that my mother checked! LOL

Chinese Love Symbol Christmas Gifts

So you're saying this character for love devised by Mozi combines the characters for heart, accept, feel, and perceive? That's a neat idea :-) I've seen this symbol on necklace pendants.

You might want to check the facts on this paragraph "If the brand crosses the line into describing a product in general, then it loses its trademark protection. Such generic words as aspirin, kerosene and thermos started life as brand names. But when people started referring to all willow bark derivative painkillers as Aspirin, then it lost the capital letter and the company behind it lost the right to protect the name." See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin#Trademark Otherwise great article, I would also add how prices differ between Kindles and Kobos and the respective books ;-) SY

Camping in a Retro Travel Trailer

Maybe we can travel together! But of course the animals would come. Half the folks in this park have dogs and half of those have more than one! I can't wait to get my old tin can all painted up!

Camping in a Retro Travel Trailer

I've heard of these women who caravan around the country in their campers. There's safety in numbers. I've thought I would like doing that once I don't have the responsibility of my mother anymore. My dogs and cats would come with me of course.

That's not much smaller than my 6" Kobo screen! Ok, I'll give you this round. :)

Hats for Halloween

Ah, you may have noticed my fondness for those hats. We think alike!

Hats for Halloween

These are all great hats! I was giggling at the milk carton hat and the chicken hat, but would personally choose the Prof McGonagall hat just because I'm such a Harry Potter fan.

4.65" for phone, big enough for casual reading I suppose, and the size of the words are more or less the same as my textbooks, not really that huge of a difference :P

I see your reasoning right there. But for reading you surely need a bigger screen. Mine isn't massive, but it does suffice.

Phone + apps, better combination for me since I bring everything in my pockets lol

Are You Getting Married Too Young? Should You Wait?

Marriage is a big commitment. "Marrying the family" really is true, for better or for worse. This is something a person doesn't always understand when they're young.
