Good evening everyone,

First let me say that the doctors have managed to get my pain level to close 
to a manageable level. My body in its current state has proven to be a very 
reliable barometer. I tried making the last meeting, but my body still was 
not up for it. I am very confident that I will be at the next meeting coming 
up in May. Be careful and try not to get hit by a car while crossing the 
street. It has caused relentless pain for the last year and a half.

I have upgraded my Kindle App on my iPhone 5. I have listened to 20 pages of 
the Linux Journal and a couple of randomly chosen books. It works really 
great :-) I highly recommend everyone upgrade or install the updated Kindle 
app. I believe every one will find it to be a very useful book reader to 
keep in your toolbox.

My toolbox contains “Safari" (SafariBooksOnline.com), “Read2Go", “Audible", 
“Kindle", “DaisyWorm", “Blio", "Learning Ally", "Voice Dream", “Readability”, 
“Reader", “iTunesU" (some issues here), and "Voice Reader". I would love to 
learn of any readers that others have found to be useful in their tool 
boxes.

In closing the new Kindle app even reminds you to swipe down with a two 
finger swipe for continuos reading.

I got all of the books I owned in print converted to an accessible digital 
format, if they were not available in the Safari Books Online commercial 
service. Safari Books Online is a really great technical book service. All 
together I have access to over 180,000 books using the various books source 
and book readers in my tool box.

P.S. I call the customer service folks for the Safari Books Online service 
and request a discount. I tell them I am blind. They have given me ~$80 off 
each year I call in to renew. I pay $399 instead of what ever their 
prevailing charge.
