So, I have been reading an e-book on my Droid. I borrowed it from the library. The book is The Wilder Life. The book is okay: interesting, but not fantastic. It really isn't too hard to read on the phone, but I do get sick of tapping the screen to turn the pages. I have also found that my hands cramp from holding the phone. Finally, it is not as relaxing as a real book, maybe it is because of the light. I have turned it to the dimmest setting, but I still feel a little reved up when I stop reading. When I read a "real" book I am more relaxed and ready to sleep. BUT, in the final analysis, I'm sure that e-books aren't going anywhere. It is also pretty convenient to have a book on my phone when I am forced to sit around waiting for something.
On another front, I signed up to receive tweets from Twitter. I just found out that Steve Caporizzo is on Twitter and that he gives frequent tweets during bad weather. This seemed like a good way to keep aware of problems in case a tornado hits around here. I downloaded the Twitter app for my Droid and it works well. It shows a bird in the update bar when a new tweet comes in.
