Ian Radcliffe :: Blog :: Day one... The journey begins.

January 17, 2011

The big day has arrived, so I have had a go at the week one activities.  There are only a few contributions so far, so I have dived in in the hope that I am on the right track and that it will encourage others to dive in too.  The pace of contribution will probably quicken towards the end of the week as everyone consciously tries not to be identified with any of the characters in the case study!

I tried to buy an ebook reader today but Waterstones were out of stock of the model I chose, the assistant told me they had two on the stock system but they were both faulty customer returns...  I hope such a device will make referring to articles easier as I won't have to flick from session to session on the computer.

Keywords: ebooks, first day, IDEL11

  3. I bought an ASUS EEPC before Christmas with all my Tesco points!

     I needed something for work as well ,but I'm pretty happy with it. overall. I was going to get a Kindle but thought this would fit the bill for reading course texts away from the PC.

  4. Thanks for the comments Rory and Sally.  The ebook reader I am going to try is an iriver, the model that Waterstones sell for about £120.  I decided against the Kindle as it look difficult to upload stuff to it unless you are buy it from Amazon.  I want to be able to carry 1000 page Microsoft reference books around and have something that starts almost instantly.  I am on my second eeePC and it is great, but it still takes time to wake up.
