BFF's

I need to share that I love my ebook.  My ebook is perfect.  Parfait.  It has all the features a perfect ebook should have:  it is not in color--a soothing paperwhite sort of look instead, it has page-turning buttons so I don't have to swipe, its battery lasts for days even though I read for hours at a time, I can play music with it and have several of my CD's embedded into it, it has an SD card with space for unlimited books, and it has a stylus with which I can highlight, write notes, and erase notes.  There are further lovelinesses about my book, but you get the idea.

Sadly, with my newest purchase, this Dell computer on which I type as we speak, I am having issues downloading books onto my beloved Sony ereader.  Sigh.  I am able to purchase books, I can see the books, but my ereader will not connect to my new computer.  They are incompatible so far.  I'm hoping that this is similar to when you meet someone new and that person rubs you the wrong way but later on, after repeated meetings and conversations, you realize that person is actually pretty awesome but you just had an unfortunate first meeting.

In order to facilitate this relationship between my computer and my ebook, I've spoken to Stephen J from Kobo books in Canada multiple times, for at least an hour each time we chat, and also to someone whose name is incomprehensible from Sony, for at least half an hour each time we chat.  Neither of these fellas has been able to make my computer accept my book and vice versa.  Until today.

Today, my computer and my book are GOING TO BECOME FRIENDS.  I just know it!!  I'm going to go to the gym, have a lovely lunch, and get back on the phone with tech support.  And today is the day they accept each other.  Stay tuned.
