Crazy

So Donna Jean had her book made into an e-book file, we put it on Amazon and then I downloaded it to my iPod. Crazy, huh?

Of course, I don't really need it on my iPod since I've read it about six times, but I wanted to make sure it worked. As a side note, you'd think reading on one of these things would be ridiculous, but the screen is sharp and contrasty, you can make the type whatever size you like, you kind of get used to swiping over to the next page every 30 seconds, and it's not bad.

Hanukkah Hematoma
