DDBVYBH for me.

There is a kindle app for iPad. When you purchase from Amazon, all your books/magazines etc are available in the cloud. http://amazon.com/gp/kindle/ipad

GC ID is the same as my name here. I'm a little bit of a social outcast. LOL.

Lovely and sunny here in Vegas, though a little cooler than the last few days. A small reprieve as we're due to get into regular triple digits very soon. Was pretty windy yesterday and smoke from a huge wildfire 400 miles away wreaked a little bit of havoc. Couldn't even see the hills!

I have a New Zealand account and a US account. I get charged in NZ dollars if I purchase from the NZ account here in the US. It would be the same with the US account if I went back home on vacation.

Cazzabee, that's similar to the issues I was having. I did all the trouble shooting steps (reset network settings etc etc etc) and it'd work ok for a random amount of time, then dwindle down again. I took mine into Apple and they replaced it on the spot (even though it was playing nice cos I'd...

Check the IP address. Our router occasionally assigns them outside the allowed range. We don't know why, but it means we appear connected, but can't go anywhere. We assign the IP address manually based on the MAC address of the device. Fixes it every time.

There's the original iPad, then the iPad 2, and now the "new" iPad. For some reason, they decided not to use the numbering system this time around. Though, if you have the retina display model, it's the new iPad you have, not the iPad 2. After reading how you were stuck, I did some research and...

I love that she growls when you curse at her. LOL. I use her all the time, especially when I'm on the go. We have our moments though, due to my accent and the way I pronounce my vowels, which usually involves a glaring match with my husband when he tries to teach me how to say whatever word...

My mother-in-law didn't even notice when she bought these for a graduation party.

It wasn't a bad one. LOL. Veges aren't supposed to be served with cinnamon and sweetness ... unless they're sweet potatoes! Nope. I'll stick with my favourite way to eat pumpkin - roasted.

Wouldn't buy it myself, but if I didn't already have one, I might be tempted. Previous rumors were that it would have lower storage points, not higher.

Steak and cheese! Darn it. I'm hungry and meat pies are not an option here. I get them once a year when the rugby sevens comes to Vegas and they're not the same. To whoever said pumpkin pie, ewww! Wouldn't go down well. I've embraced American food but can't stand that. And I wish there was...

I use both the Nook and Kindle apps as well as the Play Books app by Google (lots of free classics). Each have their advantages. Both B&N and Amazon offer free books, easily found through a few sites, though as a rule, Amazon are generally cheaper. Hunger Games is a great series. You'll love it.
