Sonhouse, you make an excellent point. Sipping through an umbrella, coQuette might inHale at the wrong time once or twice and hurt herself. Do you know of any potential passengers who might be qualified to oversee an infirmary?

May I ask why? What advantage does the kindle have over all the other gadgets one can read books on?
2. My Kindle uses 3G (paid by Amazon) to connect to Amazon or the web, as well as wi-fi, so I can buy a new book or make my chess moves anywhere I go, no need for a wi-fi hotspot.
3. The screen uses e-ink technology. It can be clearly seen under most lighting conditions (even bright sunlight, the bane of most tablets) except extreme low light, for that I have a little book light that attaches to the cover.
4. Amazon says it can go for nearly a month on one charge. Tablets are notorious for running down the charge in a day or three. I get 2-3 weeks per charge, depending on use.
5. Wide selection of books, due to being an Amazon product. Almost everything Amazon puts out is available in a Kindle version.
This is for the old regular Kindles. The Kindle Fire has all the disadvantages of a tablet, because that's basically what it is. And I don't even have a smart phone, it would seem like an awfully small screen to be reading anything on. My Kindle's screen is about the same size as a paperback book.

Hang on a sec that does sound just a bit sexist. What I meant to say was...You wouldn't have happened to have watched the show too and taken "doctoring" notes cuz I probably could use a hand.😀
