The Seven Incher


So I Got My Seven Inch Android Tablet

The battery says 11 hours left when fully charged, but I don't think that's accurate. A few hours later it said 45% left, that was two plus hours. If it is four or five hours, that is plenty.

Amazon Kindle is my favorite app. I have loaded up about 15 classics, all available for free. These books alone make me feel like the tablet came to me for free.

Anna Karenina
A Tale of Two Cities
The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (with Cross-References)
Gitanjali
Shakespeare's Sonnets
Human Biology - Genetics
The Complete Sherlock Holmes
Leaves of Grass
Crime and Punishment
The Art of War
The United States Constitution
Aesop's Fables
How to Speak and Write Correctly
Theodore Roosevelt; an Autobiography
Gettysburg Address
In the Days of Washington A Story of The American Revolution

I expect to download many more free classics. I expect to buy a few. I expect to borrow. Some libraries allow you to borrow books on the Kindle, no?

The first book I started reading was The Art Of War. Bookmarking the last page you read is a treat.

Eureka Moment: The Local Library On Kindle

Cover of "Kindle Wireless Reading Device,...Cover via AmazonI just found out that the local library is on Kindle.

The Next Web: Amazon launches Kindle book-lending service with 11,000 US libraries

Then I proceeded to download the free Kindle app for the PC. It looks swell on my computer.

Then I went to the New York Public Library website and found out Kindle is nowhere to be seen. I can't get the library books on to my Kindle, at least not yet. I went to the Queens Library website. And I found out the same thing.

I guess news travels faster than reality.

Once this comes to be it will be like Spotify for books. So we got books and music covered. Will someone please do the same for movies? Or I might as well go ahead and pay Netflix some money.

I grew up in Nepal. We are kind of underdeveloped.
