I loved my kindle, really did. I was a bit phased when the iPad came out so quickly after I purchased my kindle, and the fact that as an Australian I can’t even access the full functionality of the kindle, but I comforted myself with the knowledge that I’d purchased a good, well priced product. Imagine my horror when I find out, through an email delivered straight to my inbox, that I hadn’t purchased a well priced product at all – in fact I had purchased a product at more than double it’s real worth. Even though I paid well over $300 less than a year ago, the product is now being advertised at $139 – who knows, maybe it is only worth $10?
This is extremely disappointing amazon.

This book has an amazing ability to become part of you. I’ve read the entire series and they are the only books I have EVER read over again!

Twilight is a story about a girl, Bella, and a moody vampire named Edward; and their cuddling. It mainly consists of Bella describing Edward using words she doesn’t understand and avoiding the word said as if it were the boogey man. Really though, if you don’t understand what Twilight is about at the point you’ve probably been living under a rock or just plain don’t care, which I cant fault you for at all. Twilight isn’t exactly a book that’s on my hit list. In fact it’s horrible.
I’ll admit that when I first read this book I thought it was fantastic, but that’s because I thought it was a parody. I didn’t know it was serious until it became so popular. The reason I thought it was a parody was because it was so awful. The plot, characters, and writing all reek of clichés and awful.
The “plot” and by plot I mean that thing that shows its head every 200 pages or so, revolves around Bella, a girl who I like to think is just suffering from a truly horrible inner ear infection, and Edward, a mentally unstable vampire. I had heard that this book was supposed to be about the passionate love between the deep and engrossing characters but I guess I missed those parts.
The characters in this book are anything but deep and engrossing. Bella is a heroine with all the character strength and charm of a wet tissue, and a personality to match. She is a horrible role model for any girl. She’s so blinded by her “love” for Edward that she completely disregards her family, friends, common sense, and life. She doesn’t care about anything out side of Edward. Without Edward she isn’t a person, not even in her own mind. She thinks Edward is the only thing that makes her worth while. Sure the author tries to tell us she’s intelligent by having her write papers about misogyny in Shakespeare, read Jane Austen books, or listen to other characters comment on how intelligent she is but I just couldn’t buy it. She does nothing to prove she is as intelligent or clever as we are told she is
Canon CA 590 Compact
I am satisfied with this vacuum. It picks up all the dirt and debris from my carpet and deposits it in a disposable bag. It has good filters to prevent dust from being spread around. It is exactly what I expected it to be…a vacuum cleaner.
Canon DR E6 DC
My wife has used the vacuum several times and is satisfied with its cleaning ability. However, using the hose attachments is almost useless due to the shortness of the hose.
I was disappointed in my purchase since the pictured vacuum cleaner had a light. When I received it there was a black cover where the light should have been. I acknowledge that the information did not specify a light but the picture did. I called Amazon and their representative offered me several options to rectify the problem. I was extemely pleased with the representative’s offered options to correct the problem.
I would also like to point out that I have looked at another product and again the pictured item and the model number were incorrect. The picture was for a more expensive model and the price for the model number shown was considerably more than I could purchase the item locally. This made my think that the model number was incorrect and the picture was correct. Hoping to resolve this discrepancy I called Amazon and was told the picture was incorrect. The price was for the model number shown. When I told the representative that I could purchase the product significantly cheaper at a local store, I was told that not all products offered on Amazon would be cheaper than could be purchased locally. This has caused me to question every product offered on Amazon; is the picture shown what you will get or is it of another model and you will not know this until you receive the item.

I now have been using my kindle for three weeks. I was initially impressed by the helpfulness of the kindle community, which is essential reading for a new owner.
The speed of delivery was impressive – four days from the USA to my door-step on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
Initially, I found the page small by paperback standards. However, after purchasing a leather jacket and after an hour of reading I soon realised that the book reading pleasure in my later life is greatly enhanced. The convenience of print size, portabiulity and the excellent wireless connection and fast downloads from the Amazon store are outstanding achievements. I am particuilarly impressed by the free first chaper (- or more) sample of an enormous range of books. Prices from Amazon are fair and cheaper than most sites I have found and it is not too difficult to download and reformat other Ebooks, especially classics from the Guthenburg site.
As a life long reader, this is the most rewarding reading experience I have yet encountered. Now my wife wants one!
Canon EF 70 200mm
Stellar camera – for its features and it’s size, there’s just nothing in the same class. I wanted something that would give me better image quality and more control than an average point-and-shoot, but wasn’t the size of a DSLR. That’s exactly where the G7 fits in. It’s a bit of a jack of all trades, and though it’s not a master of any, it can definitely fake it – I do wish it shot RAW, as i enjoy post-processing, but that’s the largest of my complaints. Great quality shots, easy to use interfaces, and a gorgeous camera are what I got from the G7 – I’m not disappointed.
Canon PowerShot G7 10MP
I was originally looking to get a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, for the focal length and glass speed. Taking into consideration that my 40D has a FOVCF of 1.6, I opted to get the EF 16-35mm f/2.8 — the equivalent focal length is close enough to what I was looking for. I don’t regret making that decision at all. This is an awesome lens.
Canon EF 16 35mm
I am generally satisfied with the product. My son also enjoys reading it a lot. The strength of this is the Over-The-Air purchase and delivery. This eliminates the hassles to connect to the computer the get the purchases transferred. However, this is also where I find some disatisfactions with. I don’t know whether it is a regional issue or not.
For the connection, it is not uncommon that I have a problem with the wireless connection, sometimes there is just not connection. And when the Kindle is connected, mostly it is just GPRS. When I purchase a book of larger size, it sometimes really needs a long time to download OTA, I need to download to the PC then transfer via the USB.
And I hope the price of the books would come down more as the cost of printing/paper is now saved.
