I read. A lot. And I take a book with me pretty much everywhere I go. The Kindle makes this much easier, and I can take SEVERAL books wherever I go! My Kindle has been to the beach, to the mountains, and to the pool. I got a lovely pouch for it on Etsy, so it’s protected from scratches and drops (yeah, it’s been dropped a few times, but no problems).
As long as the wireless is turned off, the battery lasts for weeks. The wireless eats it up faster, but only turn it on to download books.
I suppose this would be better if it had a touch screen, and you didn’t have to scroll with the menu button to highlight or access the dictionary. But if you really want that, get an iPad. If you only want a great reader (book replacement), at a great price, the Kindle is the way to go!

This is your basic vacuum cleaner.

Set up: Had some trouble pushing the 2 screws in because the holes were misaligned. Took some effort and time to finally get them through the holes. The screws were not a tight fit, meaning they didn’t screw in tightly into the washers.

Vacuum: Only used once.
PROS: As far as I can tell, the vacuum does a decent job. The accessories work. Small and lightweight. There is a pull on the vacuum which makes maneuvering it easier.
CONS:The cord and the hose are a bit short, as mentioned in previous reviews. It is also very, very loud. I am certain the people next door could hear me vacuuming through the walls. Unlike the vacuum described in the manual, there is no light indicator to tell you which areas are especially dirty or clean. So, you won’t know which areas to go over more than once. There is also no sounds indicating it’s actually picking up dirt. I did notice the vacuum sometimes didn’t pick up little pieces of dirt that I could visually see on the carpet, other times it did fine.

Overall, you get what you pay for.

After reading a lot of the reviews here on amazon and other sites I had decided this was the vacuum for me. I had been looking at Dysons and some other higher priced vacuums but after stumbling on this vacuum and the rave reviews, I couldn’t not check it out for myself. I suffer from a chronic pain condition and let me tell you, with my other vacuum, a very nice bagless dirt devil. It was like pushing a freight train. The hoover tempo is a breeze to push and it does an amazing job! I have a dog with a skin condition and year round excessive shedding is the norm around here. using my old vacuum took all the energy I could muster for the day, just to vacuum the living room and hallway. To be honest, I started only vacuuming once a week or so (which isn’t NEARLY enough with my dog) because it was such a chore. I cannot say enough good things about how well the hoover pushes, picks up the dog hair and performs! It is not everyday that you tell your family and friends about a new cleaning tool, but I have told everyone I know! I am SO glad I made this purchase.

This was a great buy, the Ipod was brand-new, and it arrived two days ahead of the expected time.

Thank you very much!

We’ve come to buy this system after our adult children told us how much fun the games are to play. They were right – great for all members of the family

Artemis Fowl 1 is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Probably in my top 10. The characters were very different from each other, each with his own personality. This book had an okay plot: Artemis was desperate to get his family’s wealth back by stealing the gold from fairies. I enjoyed it. This book engrossed me entirely. I thirst to read the next books and so might you.

This is a nice looking non stick set that was recently purchased for me. It is very easy to clean and cooks evenly. The only complaint I have about this set, are the handles on the pots and especially the lids get very hot. There is a newer set that has silicone coasted handles and I would recommend those instead.

Popped this into my camera and it works fine. Operates exactly as described… not much else to say about it! The price was certainly right.

Your pen starts moving on its own and tells you it’s God and you believe it? Are you kidding me? Gullible much?

If there is a God, then this isn’t Him. If there is a Satan, then he’s definitely a ghost author here.

Even with an open mind, this book killed more brain cells than I could afford. God already wrote a love letter that explains His heart. It runs from Genesis to Revelation. Check it out some time.
