If you know someone who loves to read newspapers and books and suffers from macular degeneration, you should think about the new Kindle 3 coming out this summer for that person.

I am afraid I will "wear out my welcome" with many of you with all the tests. I called Holly twice - the first time just to check a connection and the second to tape.
