Hmmmm, wonder what crazy looks like...

I proofed this book before it was published, and that should (better!) be the version currently posting on AD. I enjoyed this story and I hope you all will give it a chance. T.

You have Nifty to thank for my continued presence. I found the relevance I was looking for, and many of you as well, and what I have is forever tied to the road that brought me to it. However convoluted.

I love Target!

Would I be able to "correct" it and send it back to him?

Ideally I'd just register him to my account, as the lending function gives them 2 weeks to read the book, and you can only lend a book one time to one person. Rick has the capability to dictate a story, but there's still problems with it recognizing his voice. I'll talk to Mike as you suggest, and as always, thank you for your thoughtful attention.

LOL, now for the Kindle questions... If someone was a registered user on my Amazon account and they had the Kindle app on their PC, would they need a wireless connection to access my content or just and internet connection? Or, using the lending option, does the link in the email I send to them require a wireless connection to access it?

(I love that story, thanks for reminding me. I'm not reading "What's New" on Nifty with any regularity and could be missing Christmas! ) So easy-peasy, Cole, they've been working on it for years. Camy, i'm hoping for something that doesn't have me in the middle (I can order stuff with a modicum of grace) but your idea is, of course, one that would work. Funny I didn't think of it- since I use a portable cd player to list to music while walking to work...funny yeah, but no surprise. Someone suggested vision services providers-- another rather obvious idea that escaped me. LOL, why do you suppose that is?

Though it definitely lends a little humor to the situation, it's still a matter of me thinking everyone lives in my head, where the other half of the conversation occurred. What I didn't say is that this is not for me, but for Rick; when I read that Daron's Guitar Chronicles was released as audio books, and that Amazon had an audiobook arm with nearly 400 LGBT titles, I thought, well, nevermind that... the thing is, he overcomes a multitude of obstacles every day to write, and spends the rest of the day paying for it. I just want to give him something that will help with all those hours in the dark, you know? T.

For the record, I did try to find this on my own, but there comes a point where an alternative to fruitless effort is a blessing, and appearances, a fools errand. What I'm calling an audio book reader is likely called any number of things, none of which are ABR, but more specifically, I want something more portable than a PC, more room to room than place to place, with options like a docking station and secondary speaker/headphones, that is not designed primarily for the convenience of sighted individuals like IPOD or even Kindle. There is a selectivity aspect of the "I'll know it when I see it" variety that is considerably less unrealistic here than it might be elsewhere, and the subject line alone was probably enough. I'm interested in what you know, what you've heard, seen, read about, and any thoughts you might have about any of it, as finding something that will work is the most important thing. (LOL, I use that emoticon a lot...) Thanks for everything, T.

LOL, I'm not telling you how long it took me to figure that out, Cole! OK, so 5 minutes. But that's a lifetime in the world of sarcasm. Be great if it was actually funny.

Don't let its format deceive you. Cole, 300 clicks = 30 minutes of power walking.

LOL, that's why he didn't ask you first, Cole. You know we spent 70 million to make pennies this year, right? If not for this forum, I wouldn't know half of what I know, and hardly any of the really interesting stuff.

Did you all know that with one click you can see all new posts? Or, just those that are new to you... OR... just the ones that have you in 'em! Of course you did. Now I do too. Better late than never. Oh, and Colin, the boy who named him "Chips" was born of parents from different planets, neither of them this one. (More about that on CRVBOY, under the heading "Dark Star's Song" by Brian Holliday). Thanks for coming out, everyone! *falls down laughing* (how can I get an icon for that?) T.

I was thrilled to see roughly 100 chapterettes posted while I was away- a quarter of which are history...

What a lovely reminder that celebrities were, and are, people first; having a "reluctant celebrity" in my family introduced me to the concept of personal vs public, what we are vs what we do. Adoration doesn't make heros, character does. A fine tribute, Chris, and a reminder also, that the personal is political. T.

I'm totally hooked!

I'd say we should all cash in our pennies, but I'm pretty sure they'd make more anyway.

Well said, indeed. Thanks, Chris.

There ought to be a law... Like Republican's don't borrow money... well, they do, and send 252 tons of it, in cash, to Iraq, never to be heard from again. But really, is that legal?

Free is good, thank you!

Yes.

It's not as fun when you don't know what you're doing. The pony's name is "Licorice Chips" or just "Chips". The Danette's new bike thing is a joke, though I think I put the original (a pony shaped bike) up here somewhere. It's not a video but he could be gay, it's a little early to tell, and I didn't know where else to put this incredible creature. Now, I hope you can see him, because he's something special, like you!

My Prince! Thank you, Colin, that's exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. But then, you'd probably know that... Tracy

I recently bought an ebook from somewhere other than Amazon, and was asked to choose from a short list of formats, all of which I found were acceptable for Kindle. My question is whether, for my purposes, one is preferable over another. I just want to read what I want, with the option to read it on my Kindle. <g> The usual thanks, Tracy
