(then again, I use reading glasses because my vision sucks up close). Call me a male Katy Perry, but I like color. :)


Have you seen the new ad for the Kindle where a woman (using Kindle) and a guy (using the iCant) are outside in bright sunshine reading books by the pool? I think that you can figure out who's having the problems seeing his book :)

Make note of any times you may have wished you'd brought your laptop (i.e., a real computer) instead. Imagine this scenario, your mother-in-law takes a very nice picture of your daughter hugging the dog (I think that you hate cats) and she wants to give you a copy. What are your options?
