Kindle dilemma

[Cleanest Natural]

And no linky?

with a linky

It is eons beyond "famous" writers from my point of view. And he was not even a native english speaker. But again, you don't need a flashlight to spot the Sun.

Here are some quotes from the man:

"All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark."

"The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong." (bodybuilding related)

I am not a fan but a fellow researcher .. David is a great guy and I support his work. No conspiracies here, just truth. Falcon is well aware of my work.

I posted above my favorite reads Elisabeth Haich's "Initiation" and the Complete Lifetime Works of Swami Vivekananda. I highly recommend both.

what topics do these authors speak upon?

Bath?  Grown men still take baths these days?   Men take showers.  Showers!

I spoil myself with at least one bubble bath a week.   Let' keep it between us though, I dont wanna get teased about it.

The problem with Kindles and their competitors, is that they have no light installed in them. At least the original ones.

So you need an external light source to read them.

Where I work we get bussed to and from site which can be a 30 to 90 minute ride. There is no lighting on the bus for reading, so you have to bring your own. Many people bought Kindles and then realized this little "glitch" after.

Most people buy Kindles and assume they have a built in light because they are electronic, but they don't.

I thought THAT was the whole point with kindle .. self luminiscent. You don't actually need a light. Am I wrong?

Paperwhite solves this issue, whereas the originals do not.  You're all set.

You are about the first ones. I have not seen what the latest models bring to the table.

The first ones were not self luminescent.

I have yet to see a KINDLE that needs a flashlight. In fact I have never seen any computer type screen that requires a flashlight to see it.

My KINDLE is phenominal for reading in the dark or even on the beach at noon.

If you have a KINDLE, I strongly suggest you join AMAZON PRIME.

I've got the kindle paperwhite and it has a luminescent screen and still boasts amazing battery life. I take prolonged hikes and do bike touring and it is the first item I pack. I can take a library books on it and it has increased my reading on all subjects. Brilliant device.

I seriously doubt i'll buy a ebook reader thing...

what the hell would I put on my bookshelves???

I buy most my books, novels, textbooks, ect... from used places... 2nd hand stores. can't beat finding an original copy of Atlas Shrugged hardcover for $2.

The lack of a backlight is the reason it doesn't burn your eyes out.

I can't read books in the dark either.
