Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow be goin' t' go down as one o' t' best characters ever in a movie. "

[DoodlePanda]

Aye! :)

[DoodlePanda]

Lol! :D
Yea, it looks good! I want one too, but I think I'm gonna have to stick with my Paperwhite for now... :(

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

Yeah, I'd love a new one, but can't see dropping that much money to replace something that works fine as is.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Avast mateys....Popeye can be a pirate if he wants to! Though now that you mention it I guess he was more likely to beat up pirates.

aarrrr....

The flush bezal looks really sharp! The feature that I saw that excites me is the family share. Family members can now connect Kindle accounts and read each others books. This would be super handy for me as Lainie has all those Iron Druid books I've been wanting to read and so far I'm stuck stealing her old kindle keyboard. I don't know if this feature will be made available for paperwhite.

I'm also quite curious about the bezel pageturn. I'd like to put my hands on a demo kindle somewhere to see how sensitive it is. I worry I'd be forever turning pages when I didn't mean to do so. I also get a great deal of fatigue and pain in my wrists and hands when reading chunksters. Do I give them up? Hell No! LOL

This drives me insane too. I keep telling myself I'm being picky, so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that gets irate about a little line of dust. I've had some luck cleaning that with a q-tip. I've even had fine little hairs get stuck in that raised bezel. Q-tips don't help with the little hairs.

[Felina]

I still prefer my second gen Kindle. I got the touch screen and it drove me nuts so I traded it with my SIL.

I agree, swiping to turn the page is annoying. I hated that if I wanted to read left-handed with my Nook, I would have to swipe to turn the page. I am a tapper. I'd much rather just tap the screen to turn the page. That's one of the selling points for my kindle purchase recently - the huge area of forward page-turn tappability. Only a thin little section of the left side (or a swipe) will make me go backwards. Love it.

As far as the dust... try compressed air?

Oooh, yes. I have cats and... the hair. It is everywhere. That is annoying.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I have the old Kindle...the one like Aristotle and Plato used. You push an actual button on mine.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Those hairs are good luck tokens from your cats.

I doubt that. NOBODY needs that much luck.

I just lost my button when I had to get a new reader.


I like buttons. :(

Mine has several buttons. Love every one of them.
Love it better than any new ones I've seen. So much so, that I replaced the screen (all by myself) after I sat on it.
Those were some hairy days.

Send me your mailing address and I'll start shipping it off to you. You're welcome in advance.

I miss buttons too! I like a touch screen. But for turning pages I prefer buttons over touch screen. I'm constantly flipping between pages because I flip to the previous page by mistake. Also- and this might be my compulsive side showing- I try to use both sides of the device evenly. I turn even numbered pages with the right. Odd with the left. So one side doesn't give out sooner than the other. Does that even happen.... ??? Probably not.

BTW, I get cat hair everywhere! Everywhere! Well- my cats do anyway. I figure it's their way of marking is. Wherever we go, we take a part of them with us throughout the day. Lol.
I do love finding whiskers though. They're like four leaf clovers.
I love my cats... In a way most parents live their children. And more than some. :)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I always wear dark colors... We have a white and yellow cat. Think about it.

[Lee]

I have a gray and white boy, and there's a gray and white tabby boy. Dark clothes pick up the white, light clothes the gray. And I swear, they both shed like wookies. Can't win. Before that we had a black and white cat.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I have to remember to use the tape roller before I ever leave the house...

[Becky]

I have a white cat with black cow spots, and a black girl cat. Indica doesn't shed as much as Alfie, but she does shed... Alfie though... You could think about touching him and end up with a handful of fur.

[Lee]

I picture a big fluffy cat sneezing and his fur puffing out... My girl cat hardly shed. But the boys are just hairy monsters... I wonder if boys shed more than girls? My boys are part Maine Coon though, so they tend to have lots of fur.

[Becky]

He's not even that fluffy!



This is Alfie about 2 weeks after we got Indica... she just snuggled up next to him (I think for warmth.. she HATES being cold) and he was too stubborn to give up his spot for a little furball that was trying to move in on his territory, so he just... shared.

We still have that piece of cat furniture... It's now a dark gray thanks to her fur all over it.

[Felina]

Indica is so cute!

[Becky]

Of course she is! She isn't that little anymore - this was taken in 2009. Alfie still looks the same though. LOL

This is what Indica looks like now:


or when she's wallowing for attention...

[DoodlePanda]

I miss having cats! As soon as i move somewhere I'm allowed to have them I'll be looking to get 1 or 2 :)

[Lee]

Adorable :)

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

I miss having cats. I can't have them now due to hubby's allergies.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

Benji doesn't really shed. I have to brush him regularly and that's where most of the extra hair goes.

[Leland]

We have a ragdoll/Siamese mix. He's adorable.

[Brenda ╰☆╮]

Love the kitties.
:)

[Leland]

Thanks Nicki. :) he's a love muffin too. Can't get enough snuggles. That photo was from when he was a teenager. His neck ruff hadn't fully come in yet. I'm trying to find a more recent photo.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

My profile has the pictures of our cats.

[Lee]

I love rag dolls. I've always wanted either a rag doll or a Maine Coon. We lucked into getting a mix. Mamma cat was a regular cat. Sweetest cats I've ever had. Truly gentle giants. And now that I've said that... my cat just picked a fight with his brother... Boys! Lol.

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

Speaking of cats... I apparently took in a kitten over the weekend. I have two cats and a greyhound, so I wasn't in the market for another pet... But some asshole dumped this adorable kitten in a box by the side of the road. Didn't help that when we found it all it wanted to do was cuddle and be pet, and when we tried once to walk away (horrible, I know, I don't think I could have made it far anyway), it ran right after us.

It's so affectionate and tiny and cute.. For now, I'm not necessarily saying I'll keep it. But I have it set up in a bathroom and am going to take it to the vet to get a check up as soon as I can get an appointment. Expensive... But better than just leaving it there to freeze and die. We'll see what happens... Maybe I now have 3 cats. Geez :P

[Lee]

Cats adopt you. You don't adopt cats. It's yours now. Congratulations on the newest addition to the family. Lol.

^What she said.

[Becky]

Yep. You just adopted yourself a kitten. :D

[Leland]

4 pets isn't so bad Dawn, especially with cats and greyhounds. Greyhounds look like big dogs, but really they fold up small. :) is it a rescue? We've had three greys.

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

Yes, the greyhound is a rescue. And he's HUGE. Big even for a greyhound. At least he's easy to take care of. He's basically a cat himself :P
