Re: Kindle?
I've never used one but hear they are good e-book readers, especially in bright daylight. If you're reading indoors tho, or not in direct sunlight - how about an iPad?Re: Kindle?
Azz, I would need wireless to get the notebook or iPad. I'm uneasy about that as it sounds awfully complicated; don't you need a router (whatever that is) installed? A friend of mine went wireless when he finally got a computer (typical guy, had to have the latest fanciest toy ) and he's had lots of problems with it.... Does a router have to be plugged into the mains? I live in an older house with not enough outlets; unless it could be the one the computer's plugged into now for my dial-up?Re: Kindle?
I think broadband is available here. I suppose I should call Earthlink to see what they offer. But if my dial-up is disconnected, I would have no way to contact you if I couldn't get the broadband to work!!Re: Kindle?
This no such thing as a dumb questionRe: Kindle?
You can have both broadband and dial-up on the same computer at the same time ? Oh, thank you Azz, I do appreciate that very very much. I'll give Earthlink a call tomorrow. Thanks for putting up with me; I'm so happy at being on your forums; the support and patience is just wonderful.Re: Kindle?
Let us know how you get on Eileen and I totally agree with PPH - once you get it you will wonder how you managed without it. I could never go back to dial-up now
