OK, THIS IS REALLY IRRITATING

by Bob Walsh


I do a lot of recreational reading.  Some time back I bought a NOOK e-book.  When it works right it is very handy.  I can enlarge the type face slightly making it much easier to read.  It has a back-light built into it.  It has good storage capacity (I have over 1100 books in mine) and it knows what you've got so it tells you if you already have that particular book.  It also eliminates storage problems.  I use to take 100 + books a year into the library book store after I had read them because I had no storage space.

About six days ago the system quit letting me in to buy books.  Finally two days ago they sent out an email blast saying they had been the victims of a cyber attack and that some information may have been compromised.  Their brick-and-mortar stores are barely functioning for hard-copy book sales.  The e-book system is totally down.  I can still read what is in the book right now, but I can't buy anything new.

It truly sucks.  Fall TV isn't all that interesting.
 
EDITOR'S NOTE: What do you mean, fall TV isn't all that interesting?  I watch cowboy movies on the Grit channel or movies on the Encore channels.
