Amazonas Regionalis

I had a coffee at the airport and then spent 30 minutes browsing the Coles bookstore and downloading samples of books that look interesting. I will peruse them on this flight, and then maybe buy a few through my Kindle while in Vancouver. 

I discovered something interesting about the Kindle; there are many books that are not available for download/purchase in my region (Asia). BUT, yesterday I bought one that I wanted: "Waking the Global Heart" (previously read it but want to read it again on Kindle) but couldn't get when I was using the Amazon Whispernet in Japan. 

The only thing I am a bit concerned about is that if I decide I want to buy a book that I got a free sample of, I may not be able to get it from Asia again. Thus the thought to read the samples whilst in flight and then purchase while still inCanada.

And  that. is. that.

Boarding time!

I  love you!

Meet My New Roommates: Mr. Benjamin & Lady Palm

Meet my two new room mates:

Mr. Benjamin 

and

Lady Palm

Both arrived today in the late afternoon, ready and raring to commence cohabitation with me. 

They come from the Japanese Amazon and are excited to begin their brand new lives here in the thriving metropolis of Tokyo.

They add some very much needed character, and joie de vivre to my humble abode, don't you think?

I love you!

Loving my kindle Even More!

I just found an awesome function on the upgraded kindle 3G software in my beast! Now I can highlight sections of the books I am reading and actually send them to Twitter and Facebook with a personalized message attached. That is awesome!

If you are connected to me on FB, or not, you can find me, and take a look to see what it is like. Amazon shares the personal message and a link to the passage you highlight.
