Blogger Spares Readership Boring Story; Takes Credit for Sacrifice

I hate hearing airport delay stories, because they are never interesting and I have pretty much heard or experienced all of it at this point.  With that same filter in mind, I will spare my readership the saga that played out last night as I tried to spend a gift card on barnesandnoble.com.  You are welcome, world!

Troubleshooting aside, I am now reading my first ebook using the Nook app on my iPad.  I am so modern.  Thirty-six pages in, here is my gut reaction list of pros and cons (subject to change).

Pro

·         Book purchases on a whim.

·         Book goes where the iPad goes.  (Insert complaint about no real lunch hour at work here.)

·         Blogging fodder.

Con

I'm gonna lick your "book." 

·         Book purchases on a whim.

·         World’s Greatest Dog Norman’s ability to turn pages with his tongue.

·         I don’t care what the technology claims, I can’t easily lend this book.

·         iPad is not a book. 

·         Bookshelf is confused.

Folks, I will keep you posted as this story develops.
