Plz read my post on the MDC Community page. Its headed 'Oxygen supplementation without mechanical ventilation'. Without going too much into detail I can't pin anyone down about this. You seem to me like an intelligent man ..-.. so you can tell I have problems. Look forward to your response.

Personally I prefer goods made in China, where I know it makes a difference to their economy,and they carefully invest in another power station to ensure I get my plastic novelty toy. When the Chinese start copying/pirating e-books the cost will come down,rest assured. There is a little man who knocks at my door selling DVD's,you can usually see him standing up to go to the toilet in most of his DVD's.The next time he calls I could ask him to knock out Simon Scarrow's 'When The Eagle Hunts' in Kindle e-reader and drop it round for you. Just remember their wood pulp books are a bit confusing being written the wrong way round and in a language you may take some years to come to understand, so don't expect too much from his first efforts. Not sure how he will get round the subtitles,it may look like overwriting, but at least you will be getting value for money if you calculate how long it would take to read and enjoy such a high class product,unlike if you had bought a Skoda.<br />BasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439212863213673377.post-19884504942912664792009-09-07T21:17:01.509-07:002009-09-07T21:17:01.509-07:00Also, I don't know if this would be of use, bu...Also, I don't know if this would be of use, but here's a page turner that came out last fall: <br />http://www.pageflip.com/<br />This is a new version and I haven't seen reviews, but I've heard that other versions are exorbitantly expensive.<br /><br />When my spine has been at its worst, I could use one to hold the book and then turn the page without me having to take it out (I have book holders but they don't work as well).fridawriteshttp://fridawrites.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439212863213673377.post-367814406902793412009-09-07T21:11:53.774-07:002009-09-07T21:11:53.774-07:00There are more mistakes in the Kindle--I wouldn...There are more mistakes in the Kindle--I wouldn't use it for academic sourcing, but it works fine for popular reading. Popular books can be more expensive, but some classics you can get for free or nearly free, plus on my Kindle, we can upload PDFs, so books that are public domain and already made available through Gutenberg or other formats can be uploaded rather than purchased.fridawriteshttp://fridawrites.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439212863213673377.post-72897355137405521042009-09-07T13:40:31.841-07:002009-09-07T13:40:31.841-07:00I've read that the Kindle formats can have mis...I've read that the Kindle formats can have mistakes because of the automated conversation process, and they are not checked for accuracy as much as the original books are.

LOL <br /><br />Seriously, though, it's always the first people to take up new technology who pay the most, and all for the privilege of finding out what needs to be changed! <br /><br />Let's hope they realise what damage they are doing to the take-up of this excellent way of publishing books before it kills the idea in its prime.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785080070459774320noreply@blogger.com
