Anyone for a smut short?

Feb 19, 2008 21:23

Hi everyone. Yes, I know you are all wanting some more of the stories I'm not updating fast enough. The thing is I've been researching the Amazon Kindle ebook-reader. How it works, if I could take my writing with me and mark things to fix on the go (which I can't do with my handheld because it bricked, or my smartphone because it has crappy battery ( Read more... )

I've got one and love it. But I read four to six books a week, so it made sense for me.

What do you want to know about it?

Actually I need to know a couple of things. The first is does using the web browser cost money? I read a clause in the online docs that says that for anything not the Kindle Store costs and I have a couple of RSS feeds that I couldn't get from Amazon.

The other thing is could I take my own stories with me in mobi format and note mistakes; and would I be able to see that file on my desktop reader for mobi files later? It would make editing so much easier.

Not that I won't end up with a Kindle anyway, but this way I'd know if could be more than just a great way to carry my books with me.

First, the web browser is experimental. As of now, it's still free, but they reserve the right to start charging in the future. It works best for sites that are set up for mobile use ( ... )

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. See that's all I needed to know, but Amazon's site was confusing on the subject of the broswer (I wouldn't mind paying, but I want to know upfront, you know?).

As long as I could see the file on the computer after highlighting things with the Kindle I'm a happy camper. It wasn't clear to me if the mobi file would retain the highlights or not.

Now I just have to figure out how to afford it. Ugh. My birthday is in April, but asking for it for that won't happen. My family would just look at me funny and ask me 'why do you need that?' as though that mattered. I'll end up having to save up which means it'll be midsummer before I can even order. :P Thank you again.

Would you like a fic written for you? I'm taking prompts. ;)

I've split screened for editing before, so that's no big thing. I'm just happy it'll be more than just an e-reader for me. I could free up almost an entire hour if I could just edit in the breaks at work. I certainly can't write. I've this annoying coworker that seems to think I've an answer to anything and everything. She keeps asking me about how to do her wedding (as if I have a clue, I've never been married ( ... )
