Re: The RAF's French Foreign Legion

The kindle one isn't too bad, even though my son equates my use of same as consorting with the antichrist, I know which way I'd go if I was hanging out to read this.

Amazon UK and Canada list a paperback version coming out February 2014 at a more reasonable price. Paperback still not listed on US Amazon though.

Re: The RAF's French Foreign Legion

Hey, it is only money!

I recall a favorite cartoon with all the children and relatives sitting around the lawyer's table. The lawyer reads the will, saying, "Being of sound mind, I spent it all!"

That's my goal!

Re: The RAF's French Foreign Legion

I spend enough time in front of a computer screen so I don't plan to spend any time reading books like this on anything but paper.





My 2 cents,


Ed

Re: The RAF's French Foreign Legion

I'd agree with that Ed in general but there is times when needs must & in truth, I haven't found it to be as artificial feeling as I thought I might.

Re: The RAF's French Foreign Legion

Must agree on the Kindle v. Paper in this case. It'll be the Kindle for me.

All the best

Re: The RAF's French Foreign Legion

"This is UK based gift card and voucher trading service, and their survey is based on 1400 UK adults. Yes, it’s a UK survey, not US, but the results are likely very similar. The survey found that nearly half of respondents had gotten a gadget for Christms [sic] that they haven’t used it yet. (Now, 22% of that half specifically said that they weren’t using a Kindle, but..."


This will be my last diversion. Promise.

Re: The RAF's French Foreign Legion

Let's see:
What's in it for me:
- Can read while flying to Berlin without breaking my shoulder on the way to Heathrow. Check.
- Searchable. Check.

But, and this is what matters:

What's in it for her:
- USD97 saved, to buy something nice for the Missus. Check.
- No complaints from the Missus, because there isn't another door-stopper in the mail. Check.

That's called a 'win-win' situation.

All the best

Andreas
