Three books I forgot to download to my Kindle. Three!! How stupid and forgetful am I?!! And now they're archived. *screams quietly* You'd think I'd learn my lesson!!

Christine wrote: "Janet and Jan, why don't you download them the minute you find out you have been approved?"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!
Christine wrote: I didn't know a Kindle could hold that many, LynnMy 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.
Christine wrote: "I have a Voyage. I hope is holds a million or two, lol."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.
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?
Wouldn't you know... I get two Net Galley books, a number I am comfortable with. Today I get an email approving Broken Promise
by Linwood Barclay.A book that I requested waaayyy back in April. (shakinghead)
Shocker! Just like Lynn, today I got approved for a book I requested last April! Broken Promise.
. Linwood BarclayRunning to NG to download now!
Thanks Chris! Just requested the Linwood Barclay too! :)

I know...it archives on the 28th the same day it publishes. I was totally shocked, had basically written it off.
Approved for Broken Promises too just today and Pretending to Dance as well. Also Lamp Black, Wolf Grey
.
Lol Janet!! I'm addicted to Netgalley at the moment!! :-/
I just got a notice that Playing With Fire is comimg off NG for a few weeks, but will be back. Wonder what that's about. I have a request out for it.
Thanks Kimberley. Not sure about that Christine. I saw today they had 1 book for Canada/USA and another for UK etc. I just requested it today, and was approved a few hours later.

Lynn - did you add an SD card to your ereader for more room or did you buy it with 64G?
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.
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.
Has anyone checked out the layout of Broken Promise
???It is weird and I want to make sure I'm starting in the right place. Definitely going to take some getting used to..

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