cents!

Nancy Harrison has left the room.
Anne Lemieux : cool robin

Tamara Cox : lol
Anne Lemieux : what a word
Cathy Nelson :
Jill Altman : I find the Kindle books easier to browse on a regular computer and then I sync to the
Kindle (for my mom). I like the Kindle app on my iPad much better than using the actual
Kindle.
Robin Chandler :
Cathy Nelson :
Anne Lemieux : not apple
Fran Bullington : You can also email other file formats to your Kindle email address and they will
be converted to a Kindle format so you can read it on Kindle

situation.

to read (for me anyway)
