I like the way you can highlight stuff in Kindle (I’m using the iPad app rather than the actual Kindle device), and I like the way it also shows you what other people have highlighted, but beyond that I wasn’t really aware of how you can put it to use. For a long time I’ve been a compulsive underliner in books but my problem has always been how to keep track of what I’ve underlined or how to find quotes later, without just flipping through the book. The nice feature I’ve discovered in Kindle is that you have a webpage in your account where you can view all of your highlights and notes from all your Kindle books. Much easier to scroll through these, or use a te...

Prior to this presentation, I had never created a PowerPoint slide deck. I knew the audio from my session had been recorded, but I didn’t find out until after the fact that there was a ninja video camera stealthily hidden in the projector mount that dropped down out of the ceiling. It took a while, but UMB finally got around to posting video and presentation slides from that day-long event. Then compare and contrast to my recent speaking gig at Meharry Medical College to see what’s changed, both in terms of my conte...

I ended up in a center seat on a 737, with two lawyers on either side. (There is probably a joke here somewhere!) The guy to the right of me had a new Kindle with a deluxe case and night light. The guy to my left was reading a paperback book and had an iPhone. I had my trusty new iPad 2 on my lap. That’s when the comparisons started. I started up a conversation with the guy with the Kindle. He showed me how the e-ink screen worked and showed me the pop out night light. The case was leather and was about the size of a 6×9 inch book. When I took a look at the unit, the side window of the airplane was open, and the black and white screen was easy to read. It looked like a g...

I suppose that I thought I would make some kind of headway into it at last, after more than a year of ignoring the poor thing. Now it sits on the radiator, staring at me. I left off reading the book last year after it was far more effective at making me feel the cultural emptiness that inhabits and surrounds all of the characters. I needed a time out. I suppose that a year is enough of a time out. I have also skimmed the end of The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet and am looking for my next book. Thus, the reasoning behind dragging Infinite Jest upstairs. Anthony Powell‘s books — A Dance to the Music of Time — are in the running as serious candidates. Not sure about Don DeLillo —... white pebble blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4355874 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 14:19:01 +0100 4355874 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2920268&cid=t_225506_109_f&fid=38950&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shockmd.com%2F2009%2F10%2F23%2Fthe-amazon-kindle-international-edition-a-review%2F What do Amazon Kindle, Microsoft Word and Apple iPhone have in common. They’re not always the best, the cheapest, nor the first ones, but they are produced by the biggest players in their field and hold the exclusive rights of their products. Today my Amazon Kindle International Edition arrived. Yes you can easily download and read books sold by Amazon after registration. The previous ereader Iliad by irex I used, supports more formats, it’s memory can be extended by SD card and you can easily add files through usb connection with your PC or via usb stick, but unfortunately no quick and swift downloads via wifi or G3. Wifi conection was mostly hard to get, the wifi soon went broke, and their service is lousy. I read mostly English written books almost always in store at Amazo...
