Matchbooks. Not books of matches, but a program to buy duplicates of any physical book owned at a discount. I have many books in storage that I would love to have in hand without actually having to buy more bookcases. This could be very useful. I wish more of them were ninety-nine cents (or free), and I probably will avoid most of the $2.99, but, I like this.

For heaven's sake, I can get Stephenson's "Baroque Cycle" for under $6 in a format that doesn't violate the "lift nothing over ten pounds" rule that's still in force.

Yes, I know I'm behind. I'll try to catch up this weekend, but I formally took yesterday off. It was my birthday.

There are very few cookbooks available on Kindle, but several of them are pre-1800. Only one of those is pre-1600, but for $5.00, I now have some interesting fourteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth century recipes to look at.

Plus, my sister has tech envy!

The one Sci-Fi doohickey I always wanted was the "magic book."

Sometimes it was a school computer with all the textbooks in it, like an Asimov short story. Sometimes is was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or the flexible text of The Diamond Age. Whatever its iteration, it was small and held every book I wanted.

My folks got me a Kindle for my birthday.

I can't sleep because I'm smiling too big.

And for sheer silliness, I gakked this from [livejournal.com profile] gileswench
