Oh, there is Calibre, that I have been meaning to try and use. But it's nice to be able to just turn on the kindle (as I'm in the shower or something), and have it download latest reads before I leave the house. Rather than fuss

I didn't really want to flag a specific e-reader. And was hinting at something more general. As you say I'm sure you could bolt something together, like I have been meaning to. At the moment it's as boring as a readability

I am not quite sure I understand the ramifications for the indie phone with something like the snoopers charter. I would hope there was no such thing as an indie cloud (all your address book, call history, online searches etc. tucked away i

Nice if you can do it. I swore I'd leave if the Tories got in in 2010. But I didn't... I have roots in the UK with family and friends, and they are difficult bonds to break. A few hundred miles from some people already feels l
