February 2013

So, I got a good price on a like new Kindle Fire HD tablet, the 2013 model. I love it! I thought of giving it to my MIL, but I want to keep it for those Kindle Lending Library books. And those pesky Kindle Tablet Edition games that won't work anywhere else. I love the size and I actually enjoy reading on it!

So then I decided I would replace DD8's 8gb Nook HD with a 16gb. Found a good price on Amazon for a like new one (with 2 cases) and bought it. Seller says the rom was replaced on the internal and is running the latest version of Android (4.2.2) which is fine. I think DD8 will be quite happy. Same hardware, bigger storage, complete android access. So I will offer MIL the 8gb Nook HD, which will be fine for her needs, and I can load it up with books and music for her on the SD card.

January 2014 Books

Ok so I lied. I did get another e-ink Kindle. I got a Kindle Touch 3G no ads for a really good price. Of course had to get a skin and a case, and jailbreak it and add all my preferred customizations. Love it! Works with my m-edge light. Might give it to MIL, though I think she will prefer a tablet. That's fine. I'll keep it.
