I can’t recommend the Kindle platform enough. I’m referring to the basic ~100 dollar B&W “electric ink” version, not the color Kindle Fire. The basic Kindle works like a dream, set the font as big as you want, and it runs for WEEKS on a single charge. I don’t even take my charging cable when I’m on a road trip or vacation.

My Kindle is jostling my arm as I type this, it’s not on the charger, but it’s next to the cell phone, which is, so I won’t forget to take it in the morning.

I’ve got 6 pages on the listing of titles, one of which is Castigo Cay, on it.. so far. But Castigo Cay was the first book I got for it, other than some historial stuff, like the Declaration, the Constitution, Federalist and anti-federalist papers, etc.

The most recent is a reference book on C++, which I need to study, having failed a test on the subject miserably. Just Rusty though. Using C++, I built an AWACS radar simulation, and a process to make up to 8 ground radars look to the rest of the traing system as if their “hits” came from a single AWACS. They use ground radars for controller training at the schoolhouse where the training system is installed.

I do take a charging cable when I travel, but only because the Kindle uses the same cable as my cell phone. But I can charge from the USB port(s) on my computer, or in the car I have two chargers, and I charge on the go. But not often do I need to charge the Kindle.
