Randomness in November;

Nov 15, 2009 04:19

This week, my friends came back to Dublin from their various weekend trips with adorable gifts and copious amounts of chocolate. There was also a postcard that arrived from Copenhagen! Thank you, dear friends.

omg that tracking thing is really quite cool. & it's good to know you have decided to go public with your intense stalkerness. :D

haha jien, i've taken stalking to a whole other level with this..

raintravel November 15 2009, 16:57:19 UTC

wow i only just started using google earth (and at street level) and am really pleased with the heightened level of stalking that provides me but now you have something that tracks people in REAL TIME? wow that is intense and damn i'd love to play with that someday hahahaha.

secondly where's the catch with the kindle? it sounds too good to be true....

problems with the kindle:

- no colour
- internet connection is only as fast as what you'd experience on a mobile phone ie. not too efficient
- at S$360 it's quite expensive

that's about all i can come up with. the new barnes&noble nook is prettier and has colour, but is too us-centric.

have you seen barnes and noble's nook? i'm getting that. i think somehow it's better than the kindle. and more worth it.

sexinkensington November 17 2009, 09:35:30 UTC

omg. didnt read the comment above. how dumb.

yeah the nook is much prettier and offers more, but the one thing it doesn't have is an international 3g network right? i wanted to be able to surf the net for free anywhere i go, and the kindle 2 offers that. it's compatible in singapore! plus there are many features the nook offers - like reading for free in b&n stores - that we can't make use of. i feel like i would be getting less than what i paid for!

hmm. damn, i didnt know about the web browsing. now it's making me reconsider. hmm hmm hmm.

NOOK OR KINDLE.. AGH

_anirak November 18 2009, 06:06:48 UTC

haha, aside from the advantages i mentioned above, amazon ebooks are slightly cheaper!! not counting bestsellers (eg. dan brown's lost symbol goes for $9.99 in both stores), most other books are cheaper on amazon. in my boredom, i did a comparison hahaha.

pandafights November 18 2009, 07:20:37 UTC

wah wah wah i didnt see that, i replied on my phone hehe. i thought the nook had mp3 capabilities (i just checked the website hehe) also, it has 3g+wifi, but you cant download new books when you're outside of the us.. only your current books/subscriptions get updated when you're on wifi?

i'm so tempted to get one! i somehow feel that i'd read a lot more (is that true?) i'm so torn.. i feel like the nook is so pretty, and probably makes sense since im in the US, but then it would suck not to be able to use it over the summer when im back home too.
