  it works!!!

  Just no whispernet....though that's a huge reason

  But with their wifi models - I guess we can download from other ebook websites too!

  I'm still considering if I should get the model with 3G - cos since no whispernet then... ... no impetus leh.

  Actually meant for fishes but the nutrition content is perfect for my fly rivers.

   

  Maybe they hv problems blending the oils with Canola??

  And I thought there were plans to put some of the revenue into gambling rehab programmes, even if it's on a private basis.

  they launched e canola one was to capture e youngster cos of their perception against palm oil. but yah, kns palm is good for frying.

  Sigh yeah I agree.. actually I was against the kindle for many years due to the same reason.

  e-ink ereaders are not backlit. They have similar light reflection properties as paper.

  I guess they're wondering why a small backward fishing village somewhere in China would want their products. 

  To this day, I'm gonna bet that a huge proportion of Americans think that we're in China.
