Really liked Ben's more detailed tech report, but amused that he seemed to pronounce "Kindle" as "Kendle" :-) Great show, though. An E-book reader is definitely in my future.
Great episode. I've got an iPad and have been using it for gaming for awhile now. Looking for references in game can be a bit cumbersome, but as I become more conversant with GoodReader it's getting faster and faster.
In response to your question on your podcast, I loaded The Houses of the Blooded PDF to test it out in GoodReader for the iPad. It loaded the first page within a second or two and each page turned just as fast.
I are a engineer, my english not good. Actually I have Disgraphica, I have a great deal of issue with word sounds. Until I actually hear a word said and associate it with the character sequence in order to say it correctly. It is common for me to get words wrong, and my spelling sucks, hence why I am a podcaster and not a blogger.
Besides Mark has been saying Palladium with a short a in the middle for years and no one saya anything :-) This I noitced becase I am an Engineer, Palladium is actually a metal.
Hey there,
I love AGC keep up the good work. This show's topic was very interesting. I've been checking out ebook readers for a while now. I tend to lean toward the nook because it allows me to loan out books. Ben mentioned some problems with the nook but didn't go into detail. What were those problems?
