I’m sure the good folks at the Cleveland Public Library have seen this by now: Click for full-size _______________ Feed-only Footer: A few books I think are essential. What else should I add to this list? What are the books that no medlib geek should be without?

You may rest now!"  The only symptom I am having these past few days is paranoia about the drug dealer next door.  I am constantly looking out the window as the multitude of strange cars come and go.  I check my locks in the house and on the car constantly.   I stay up all night and cars came and went until the wee hours of the morning like they do every night.  I wish George would have never brought it to my attention.  I am enamored with the Twilight Saga of audiobooks.  I never thought I would be so enthralled by a strange vampire romance novel.  W...

I was very impressed with the creative packaging, but when I finally opened the box, and started it up, I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be.The screen is so blah. Dirty beige whites, against not quite black blacks, don't provide much in the way of contrast. Sure it's portable, but if you want to read in bed, you have to make sure you have a lamp nearby.I've had a much better reading books on a Treo, since the bright screen helps tremendously in any circumstance. The Kindle would win if I were reading in bright sunlight, but that's the only positive I can think of.You don't scroll the pages of each book, you have to refresh, during which the screen inverts to black screen for a moment, and a litt...

It's using Amazon's WhisperNet based on Sprint's EVDO for wireless connectivity.I checked out both the NYTimes ("Mr. Bezos is summarizing the features of the Kindle DX.") and Engadget for their live blogging of this release announcement.While the coverage by the NYTimes seemed as gray as this Kindle's screen, the Engadget blogger noticed a slow refresh rate as well as search function."It's a great life had at sea, when you're not in the Navy," goes the Harrisong. While the idea of using this device as a way of managing textbook material, the commitment you make to Amazon is forever. Sure it makes perfect sense to have a device that eliminate carry around pounds of dried pulp, but the books are n...

Dvorak and Steve Stecklow with moderator Leo Laporte on the OLPC phenomenon and its competition with other manufacturers including the notorious fight with Intel. There was general agreement that once you get to see the XO in person, you're hooked. Cory's idea was to fund a program that would distribute these laptops to children locally to create virality here in the US as a way of promoting interest in this project.   Towards the end of this discussion, Leo mentioned his sponsor Audible.com which leads to a lively debate on the problem with DRM they use on their audiobooks. Cory describes how he un-DRM'ed his vast collection of audiobooks. (Source: Wireless Doc) Wireless Doc blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1187149 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 07:52:18 +0100 1187149
