Got the book! “The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change,” by Al Gore. Splurged on the hardback. I can’t help myself. I need to know this stuff right away. I need to highlight it! “The Future” is not the kind of book I want to read on a Kindle. Nor is the book I’m finishing now, “A People’s History of the United States,” by Howard Zinn. Besides, my Kindle Fire has died. RIP. Next time, I’ll buy the iPad. — John

It might be a little while yet. Need to come to a good point to pause in “A People’s History of the U.S.” I prefer to read a long history book by breaking it into periods. Right now, I’m nearing the end of the 19th century. Industrialization and unionization. Will probably pause before I start on the WWI era.
As for “The Future,” I expect I’ll write separate posts about each of Mr. Gore’s “Six Drivers of Global Change.”

What happened with the kindle? Didn’t you just get that?

Dunno. It just died. Tried to charge it. Don’t know if it’s the battery or something else. Kindle Fire was a pain from day one. Not worth my time and energy to try to get it repaired. I think the black-and-white Kindles you have are more reliable than the hot Kindle Fire. BTW, my old black-and-white Nook still works. But I know I won’t be happy until I get an iPad.

Hm, good to know about the Kindle Fire before I got tempted by the current sale.

I suspect the simple B&W Kindles are probably more reliable than the Fire, and cheaper, and better for just plain reading. I still lust for an iPad.
