I'm in the minority but I moved so many times that when I finally got a Kindle I just gave away every book I owned so I didn't have to haul hundreds of pounds of dead tree. Now I manage a calibre server.

Children of Time is great. Children of Ruin was a lot of fun, but I was convinced by friends Children of Memory wasn't worth it.

Same, as well as letting me stream it when I can't play from my downloaded library, such as from a work computer.

I struggle to breathe cold air merely jogging in 40F. I think I should try a regular, cheap mask before dropping $77 on an Airtrim though.

I wish this view was mainstream. I also used to change the channel when ads came on, or at least muted and briefly did something else. I will never tolerate ads, and especially never pay to be advertized at.
