Joanna, What a fully packed, attractively packaged newsletter. I'll read more at my leisure, but wanted to leave a quick comment and question: My wife bought me a Kindle when it first came out, but I couldn't download (Willits, California, evidently didn't have satellite access). I'm intrigued with e-book readers, but haven't given it a try. What do you use? What's the upside? Downside?
