_I_ do, and I do it as part of my demonstrations all the time
cool. so you're covered, right? so you won't mind if i help jim, right? because jim wants to do it a different way, and i'm waiting for his feedback on what i suggested, to see if that does the trick for him. because david and greg set out to help jim -- but then they got sidetracked in another direction. now i hope they follow that up, because i'm sure that will help some other people do it _their_ way. but in the meantime, jim was pointing out that his request had been sidetracked, so i was trying to see if i could help him out... i don't really care if there are half-a-million kindles, or 12 million, or 8 dozen. the only important number to me is the number _one_, as in jim came in here as _one_ person, asking for something, and -- if i understand him right -- it should be pretty easy for him to create what he wants, so i'm gonna show him how he can do that. because if he knows how, he might put some elbow grease to it... and yeah, i think it's wonderful that people _can_ read e-books on our cell-phones, and i'm glad that you've advocated that all along... on the other hand, people _are_ reading e-books on their kindles, i know it, for sure, because that's about all you can do on a kindle, and if people are gonna waste their money on a single-functionality e-book-reader-machine, then i _hope_ they can read e-books on it, so i think it is a good use of my energy to try and help jim out here, because then he could spread that functionality to the kindle world, whatever size it happens to be. i'm glad we had this little discussion, michael, because i always believe that i agree with you, even when you seem to think that you disagree with me, which is quite entertaining... -bowerbird p.s. ok, i see that _greg_ wasn't actually sidetracked at all...
