I remember what it was like when I lived over there ... took a while to break the habit of saying 'toilet' and then when I got back a year later, I had to break into the habit. Welcome.

Dear Lee,
I think the standard Kindle $139 should suit me. I am on WiFi or so my box says. I downloaded Kindle's free book - Sherlock Holmes, to my computer and it downloaded in less than a minute. Marvellous. What I would like to know is - do I have to order other equipment with it eg maybe a battery charger as you use with a mobile phone. Thank you with your help with this. I might add that I live in Western Australia so I suppose the Kindle would be compatible. I presume you live in Oz too. Laurel
What do they say if they don't say toilet? Do they say loo?
@ laurel,Happy to help. I will message you off forum ( I don't want to hijack is thread) in regards to the wifi and ordering from amazon.
Hi Lillian and Max, welcome, be prepared for spending some time here. I joined this group about two days ago, but feel I have been back here a dozen times already.

Just introducing myself.I'm Trina, 22, from Tamworth. I read a lot and I try to read a wide range. In my spare time I'm a psych student, and I do like to read some psych based non-fiction, and I'm also interested in science in general. Don't really know what else to say! I love adding new friends on here and I'm always open to book suggestions!

Hello Trina. It’s good to see u here. Welcome :)
Hi Trina, welcome, I am sure that you'll have fun here, and it will become your fav forum.Just so you know, Michael makes $5.50 for every book sale in Australia for the book "before I fell asleep". He then divides that up amongst the others, giving them 50c each to tell you to read it. They haven't convinced me yet, because I can see though their nefarious ways.
As a psych student I am positive you will spot this devious plan a mile away. You may also be in a position to spot that we like to have fun here. I say that like I have been part of this group for years, when in fact, I joined Monday, but look at me already, waffling on ..........
Right i'll sign off.
;)Trina could quite possibly end up using us as a study group for her research.
Michael clearly wont rest until some one in every city, in every state has read that book :O
we should make that a challenge haha
we should make that a challenge haha
I think he is starting with everyone in this group
good luck with Jess, she is still punishing you for not reading harry potter.
Mod
Michael, a quiet chat with you if you don't mind...I haven't received my 50c yet...LOL
just so you all know - I won't be studying the group dynamics or anything like that! and I'm sure this may just be my favourite forum, it's the only one I'm in at the moment!
Mod
Ha Michael...the old 'cheque's in the mail' eh!!! lol
Mod
Mmmm!!! We'll have to watch our Michael ;D
sharks are circling Michael better get that money together quick!
Lol! Lee, you will fit in here just perfectly then ;D

Knowledge owns the naughty corner. It needs a new name though. Naughty corner is a little too... oh I don't know....cutzy, maybe?

My spoon doubles as a spoon, it's quite versatile. Is it safe to send someone to the Chamber of death whilst they are reading Evil Genius
Mwahahahahaha. I think so Lee, you never know what is being cooked up in that corner.

Last night i actually managed to email ebooks directly to my kindle from my computer, as I have lots of e-books already. But if your computer isn't on the internet, you can always connect via usb and drag and drop books directly into the kindle directory.
If you don't have access to a wifi connection, they you will need to buy the 3G one.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions if you need to.
