I find it way annoying (as w/that durn Samsung Rumor touch I had, the other day) when things that you didn't want get activated just by a mere sideways glance at it, pretty near!<br /><br />I'm gonna be chomping at the bit to see that new e-reader at Borders. I LIKE what I was seeing and hearing about that one.<br /><br />"Now if I can just get the friggin software to download so I can *use* it as an ereader."<br /><br />Yeah...that would be nice! It all sounds a little "rough around the edges" to me! Personally, I don't think I would own a Dell...<i>anything</i>; but...who knows. Perhaps one of these days, I might end up eating crow!

It was even delivered on a Saturday! <br /><br />But then like I said, the price was a bit premium. <br /><br />I heard good things about it, and I wanted an ereader smaller than the iPad, but with a better screen than the Kindle. <br /><br />Now if I can just get the friggin software to download so I can *use* it as an ereader.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485455051458949924.post-7153841918926396612010-09-25T11:52:55.477+01:002010-09-25T11:52:55.477+01:00Funny...I was going to ask you, Eo, what made you ...Funny...I was going to ask you, Eo, what made you choose this Dell Streak and happened to go to this posting and see why. :-)<br /><br />And it only took 2 days to get to you, as well, hey?

Android has a number of good apps for it; I have been using Aldiko, and am very pleased with it. It is able to import the custom ePub books I've produced from various sources online with no problems. <br /><br />It's also a phone, music player, and web browser, and carries in a pants pocket fairly easy; I can do so much that I used to lug around a laptop for, but with a 220g device.Alkieranoreply@blogger.com
