I am super excited about the presentation, I just need to not forget when it
starts. Sometimes I have a mind like a sieve.
I would also like to join the blame Timothy band wagon as he was the one
that helped to convince me to get a kindle. It isn't his fault that I
didn't use it much after purchasing it a year ago and now am a kindle
dummy, but I'm trying to rectify that.
Thank you, Timothy, for always being so wonderful and helpful.
I wanted to reference an earlier point about people being angry with amazon.
I can understand the frustration, especially when it feels like there are
updates and there doesn't seem to be improvements on the accessible front
for the Kindle. I can understand why that would make people irritated.
Hopefully, there will be more blatant forward momentum on that front unless
there are some updates that I am not familiar with as of yet.
I am glad that there is such a wonderful users group of helpful,
enthusiastic Kindle users that I can turn to now, because I want to be
singing its praises too!
Warmly,
Meka

I created a monster!!! Lol. Seriously this is great and I can't wait to hear
the presentation tonight. I've got patrons that heard me sing the praises of
the Kindle for as well, and recently I've had five folks call and say they
have acquired new kindles and what pointers I can give, and I'm trying to
get them on the list as well, so the community is growing, and hopefully we
can start seeing some results. I'm excited. Now if I could only figure out
how to read while I did the rest of my braille work and sending stuff out,
wonder if they make a belt clip for the Kindle, Lol. Take care guys and look
forward to hearing the presentation tonight Jane. Talk to you soon.
