I have actually read a version 1.x book
I have actually read a version 1.x book
It has literally been years and years since the last time i read a version 1.x book. You remember those with the old api? Where information was chunked into pages in hardware? The hardware was even based on dead trees!
It may be old fashioned, but it excels in one area; it is even better than e-ink in sunshine. Apart from that the drawbacks are countless. Like the awkward way you must hold it if you want to hold it in one hand. Bookmarks are a 3rd party addon. No searching. Awkward scrolling interface. And the list goes on.
Still, when the content is good none of this matters. The title was The Left Hand of God by Paul Hoffman. Highly recommended.

do you want to help someone in need?
do you want to help someone in need?
for free?
kiva is a microfinancing institution that lends money through local partners to people who need it. Now some anonymous donor is offering new kiva users a free $25 loan to the borrower of their choice. of course when money is repaid it goes back to the donor, not to your own kiva account as it would with ordinary kiva loans.
grab this chance to help someone for free.
