Do you mean Burning Man or is this a new book I need to download? I'm reading After Anna After Anna (NG) it's good but I think I might have figured out the who-dun-it, but have no clue why!

I tend to go shopping and request in bunches...I thought I had got them all but I guess not! I won't make that mistake again...I hope!

Oops, Burning Man. I think I know who the baddie is, but I've been wrong before. When you get to it, you have to open it up in Word unless you want to use a magnifying glass to read it. I am having to read it on my laptop as I don't have Word on my iPad. I would really like to read After Anna.

You know she sent me some notes about the book and I saved it but it's in my work inbox so I'll check tomorrow. I do remember noticing the small font!

Forgot to add- when I get a PDF book I still read on my iPad but enlarge the page. It helps!

Lynn Renee | 1706 comments Christine wrote: I didn't know a Kindle could hold that many, Lynn

My Kindle Fire HDX has 64G of storage, I went with more storage figuring that I won't need a new Kindle for awhile.. I just checked And I have 2,742 books which have only used 4.35G of storage leaving 46G left to use. Books do not take up as much room as we think they would. I have more books in the cloud so I haven't even looked to see what is there. Videos and music use more space. My Paperwhite doesn't have as much storage as the HDX does but I just looked and I have 1G available on it. I have a lot of books that I've read that could be removed from the Paperwhite.

Janet, I know...Do they have a book buyers anonymous? I say I am not going to get a book unless I desperately want it, but then I get an email for free books and I break.

When my Paperwhite quits working, I will get a Voyage. I use my Fire HDX most of the time, but in the sun it gets reflection. So my Paperwhite is best if I am sitting outside in the sun.


message 666: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments The Voyage is great, Lynn. Smaller size. and it has buttoms on both sides so you don't have to touch screen to rurn pages. HaHa, remember when all the reader rage was touch screen so you don"5 have to use buttons?

Lynn - did you add an SD card to your ereader for more room or did you buy it with 64G?


message 690: by Patricia (new)

Patricia | 1266 comments Well, Penguin books obviously had a mass release because I also got approved for Broken Promise by Linwood Barclay and I had written it off.

I purchased the Fire HDX with the 64G, it doesn't have an SD slot. It had a few options on how much storage you wanted.


message 692: by Patricia (new)

Patricia | 1266 comments Ah, got it. I have a Nook Samsung tablet 4 and I installed an SD card for more storage. Didn't know if Kindle did the same. Thanks Lynn. Hope you are enjoying your summer.

Yes, Lynn, it is full of numbers and short limes. Will be initially distracting, but I suspect I could get used to it.
