My daughter told me about this product and raved about how well it worked. I must agree, it is very effective dog brush. I used it on my German Sheppard, Rotty and Beagle mix. It works well on all of them and get there under coat hair as well. Now I have less shedding in the house and the dog’s coats look good.

A good question.

One that I asked myself and one that I can answer after taking the Kindle on a 32 hour train ride, a four day cruise and another nine hours spend in airports trying to get back to where I started.

Amazon gave me the 30 day trial on the Kindle 2 and that was enough to get my order. Give it a try and if I don’t like it I can ship it back. Fair enough.

I will not repeat the information that Amazon provides about the Kindle 2 but I will address the concerns that I had about this new way to obtain and read books.

How does it feel to read a book on this electronic tablet?

After something like 2,000 pages I can say that, for me at least, it was, if anything, an upgrade from reading a traditional book. The Kindle 2 can be held in one hand, weighs just over 10 ounces and has a screen that reads pretty much like a paper page. Except that you can change the font-size to suit yourself. The Kindle does not require any kind of scrolling. Each page is discrete and turning the page involves pressing a button. The process takes about as much time as turning a page in a book. I did not feel badly about the loss of the ‘feel’ of a traditional book. Reading absorbed me and I forgot about the medium.

Usually, when I travel I take three or four different books and a few magazines along. This last trip, I only took the Kindle. It was loaded with about 15 books but still weighed less than most single paperbacks. I liked that.

Why not buy an I-Pad, instead?

Because the I-Pad is not designed as an e-book reader. It is larger, heavier and it has a back-lit screen which simply is not nearly as good for extended reading. The I-Pad is far better at many things but it does not approach the Kindle as a comfortable and convenient way to read books. The I-Pad really fills a different technology niche and it should not be compared to the Kindle. Kind of like comparing a good carving knife to a Swiss army knife. Both are meant for different purposes. To say that one is gen

#1 I believe in God, but not to the extent that I’m right of center.
#2 This is the only book I freely admit to having thrown into the trash bin.

I bought this for my wife because our other blender would blow the lid off when we blended hot liquids (yeah, totally NOT AWESOME. Imagine someone puking scalding hot coffee in your face). I so far have only used this guy for shakes, but it’s perfectly capable of blending frozen strawberries at the lowest speed. The only problem I’m faced with is where to store it. Small potatoes. Great buy and I’m pleased.
