Wow, it's been awhile since I posted to the blog. Time really does fly these days. The past several weeks have been great. Full of a lot of firsts. First Halloween. First trip to see Santa. First Thanksgiving. First Christmas Tree. Lots and lots of firsts. And lots of just Mommy and Baby time with C$ out working. As well as lots of Mommy and Baby sicky time. Which is no fun by the way. Just in case you were wondering.
So you see, I haven't been neglecting the blog. I just haven't been able to get here and make a blog sound even the least bit coherent let alone interesting. Not that this post is either of the two in and of itself. But that is life. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad.
I have a few blog posts in the wings just waiting to hatched. But in the mean time, I think I'll leave you with an iPhone App Review. The Amazon Kindle App for the iPhone.
So far, I'm rather enjoying this app. I've read a couple of books, in the process of reading another and have two books that I'm in the middle of that have just not engaged me enough to propel me to read further. Right now I'm reading a Harlequin Intrique. So far, so good on that one.
But all in all it's a great little device. And it's free to those who own the iPhone. Even better.
I'll type up a Book Talk post about the books I've read on my iKindle soon. But for this post, I'll stick with the App review if that's all right with everyone.
The iKindle uses Amazon's Whispernet feature to delivery the books I purchase directly to my iPhone. No hook ups or downloads. I like that A LOT! When I log on to my phone and connect I automatically download the books.
When I connect, I can either go directly to my last page in the current book I'm reading or back to my main books page. This depends on me and how I closed down the app the last time I was there. But even if I go back to the main selection page it automatically remembers the last page I was on and when I select that book, it takes me right to where I left off. This is great for folks like me who read more than one book at a time.
I can change font and text color. I can refresh, bookmark, read vertical or horizontal.
I know this version of the Kindle doesn't have as many features as the original, big Mac Daddy does. But it has enough for me.
The only feature I can not figure out, is the Archive feature. It tells me it's there, but I just can't figure out how to archive. I think it may have something to do with when I sync up the device. Which, I have not played with that when syncing. Will do that soon.
Still, all in all, it gives me exactly what I need. This app gets an A in my book. And who knows, when I figure out how to archive I might even bump that to an A+.
