Hello. Two small item's for today's post. It is Monday, after all.
ARE YOU THINKING OF GETTING A BOOK READING TABLET? Well, we have been considering it, mostly for the children. As most of you know, personally I LOVE LOVE my iPad. Useful, easy, fun - did I say useful? However, sharing is not something one does easily when it comes to sticky little 6 year old hands. So we are looking at the possibilities of the other simple tablets out there, which basically comes down to the Nook Color from Barnes & Noble or the Kindle Fire from Amazon, since we want to include web browsing.
And since our local library downloads are available as Kindle editions - that kind of makes the choice for us. Although Netflix being on the Nook is another point to consider. And price, of course.
So I am glad to be seeing the reviews of the Kindle Fire so far - which shipped a day early, today. They seem to say it is the better model: Read the ZDNet review
Also to mention today: don't forget to sign up for the new newsletter. In my new collaboration with Michael Carnell (otherwise known as the truly techy Data Director) - DesignTechWeb - we'll be sending out a semi-regular newsletter with how-to tips, content ideas, maintenance guides and occasional odd ball humor. And did I say, we'll be making it a point to write in plain-old-English-non-tech-speak? The content will be directed at you, the website owner, so we hope you'll find it useful.
