| oooooh, shiny! |
The last several days have been crazy busy, and there's no sign of the pace letting up. I've been knitting away at the red sweater whenever I find a moment, but my Denmark socks have been pretty much ignored.
Yesterday a shiny new toy arrived by post - my new Kobo Vox eReader. It's marketed as a colour eBook reader. But it's really a low cost colour Android tablet. Sure, it's not as slick or powerful or fast as an iPad, but it's a better size for carrying around and much cheaper. So far ...
- I've downloaded and read a book
- I've downloaded and read a newspaper
- I tried reading the online preview of Interweave Knits, but first I need to install flash
- I've browsed online on the Ravelry forums
- I downloaded and played Angry Birds, which is turning out to be a dangerous time suck
Next step? Download knitting patterns, upload photos and figure out how to blog from my tablet. Wheeee, this is so much fun!

I keep looking at those, we got the Younger an I-Pad. But the touching the screen thing drives me crazy!! All those fingerprints. LOL. Have fun!
Well done you. I am facing the challenge of learning to use an android system tablet. Slow going so far.
So jealous! It looks so fun!
Ooooh, I am resisting the shininess of e readers for now but would love to hear more about how you get on
Colour me GREEN! Have fun with your new toy.
