Wednesday Reading

[oracne]

I am still awaiting the arrival of my new Kindle, but am still reading in the meantime!

My current book is At Your Pleasure by Meredith Duran, from my print TBR - this one is set amid the conflict between Jacobites (heroine's father and brother) and those supporting the Hanoverian King George (hero). Hero and heroine were each other's first loves

Leaving Toledo is often a good thing to do.

I finally got my hands on Hawkeye! Very excited.

Yeah, it took forever! I like the collections because I don't feel bad about carrying them around. Plus you can read several issues at once.

so which kindle did you get?

I wanted another keyboard, but it wasn't available, so I went for the Paperwhite. It will be my first touchscreen anything.

I just got the paperwhite. I like being able to read in the dark with it. I like that you can look up words with it (for Miss E, you know what word she looked up). I find the controls frustrating because they are oversimplified and not well explained. I had to download a free "help" book to discover how to remove a title from the kindle but not my library, for example. (click on the title and hold down for options.) It's not as intuitive as they think it is. But I like the liquid ink and this is still liquid ink. It's small, too. And the case is nice, it snaps in, turns off when you close it.

I didn't buy the "official" case - I got a thing more like a sleeve.

Someone just recced Duran to me, and I started it, but then the new Susannah Kearsley came out (Jacobites) and I had to drop the Duran. Which also had Jacobites. What is it with the Jacobites lately? :-D

I love my Paperwhite madly.

Maybe Jacobites are the new Thing? Except I thought it was flappers. But maybe not.
