The purchase is in fact of a key code to download the softwear. Difficulty began when trying the two methods provided by vendor which seemed to have worked for two other persons providing previous reviews. But, after 3 hours of multiple tries, contact with the vendor and finally a call to Microsoft, it was determined there was somtheing wrong with the code provided. Recontacted vendor. Although the vendor did not have the degree of urgency I did, they ultimately also contacted Microsoft, then provided me with a new key code which worked on the first try, and I was done in 15 minutes. I believe the vendor is selling a good product at a fantastic price, but customer support is not a strong suit for what appears to be a growing company. Having done it this way, I am glad I did. But, not sure I would go this way again.

Just Great Cartridge. Nothing to say. Do not spend less money on small cartridge. Any way you will win with this one.

The new DSLR’s that include video need Class 6 SDHC cards to work effectively. This card does the trick. Any lower speed interrupts the transfer of data to the card and generates a stop and go effect. This card makes everything smooth and easy.

I actually purchased as a gift for someone else. The individual seems to really like it, but they are still trying to get the hang of using it. (Now 2 months). The owner of the Kindle doesn’t own a computer, which makes it hard without the “hard copy” of a very “thick” manual. Too bad it didn’t come with a hard copy. Actually Kindle should have given the owner the opportunity (postcard or telephone number enclosed) to request for a “hard copy” if they don’t own a computer.

This has to be my ultimate favorite book and love the style, print and cover.

I needed a carrier to accommodate a set of panniers I also purchased. This was a reasonably-priced carrier, and it seems very sturdy.

So far, so good!

A friend strongly recommended Water for Elephants to me, and after reading it I have to say that this novel is a fantastic read. Besides maybe a couple of not-so-interesting pages (no novel is perfect), it is fearlessly written, from the description to the plot itself. The ninety (or ninety-three) year old protagonist and narrator, Jacob, is one grumpy old man, yet the story of his life in the circus and, now, in a nursing home is intriguing.
Water for Elephants is well worth reading.

I am twenty-two years old. Probably not the oldest reader of this series, but I had to put my two cents in for this book and the others that follow.

I am up to ‘Lost Colony’ and having read the four books preceeding it, I have to recommend Artemis Fowl to anyone even slightly interested in the teen-fantasy genre.

I read the first novel when I was sixteen or seventeen and loved it. It’s a creative joyride, with some humorous and epic encounters, and the pages never stopped turning until I came to the last line. The story involves a literal boy-genius, twelve year old Irish lad Artemis Fowl, as he uncovers a secret underground society of fairies and the like. He eventually comes face-to-face with the hero of the tale (Artemis can be seen as an anti-hero of sorts), a young female fairy named Holly Short, an employee of the LEPrecon (get it?) police division.

Personally, I chuckle at things like LEPrecon. It’s funny and it becomes obvious Colfer is a great(er) writer as you move from page to page.

Personally, I find Artemis Fowl to be a much more enjoyable read than Harry Potter. I barely got into the first of the series and it was almost painstaking to do so. Artemis Fowl reeled me in and, obviously, I’m hooked. Looking forward to the ‘Time Paradox’ in July. You should too.
