Existing in the cloud and in reality
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and has a happy new year awaiting them.
I really enjoyed catching up with friends and family but find myself in an interesting place. I have long had a presence in what is being termed the cloud and indeed have used the cloud to catalogue both my experience (here) and some of my interests (such as my reading habit via the Library).
A Kindle in the wild!
I was very fortunate to receive a Kindle DX for Christmas (thanks Jon) and have added 23 books to my reading collection. I can use many mediums to read these volumes including the Kindle itself.
So, what is the problem?
Well, I hate to say this, but the Kindle is not my only foray into electronic ink and Amazon is not the only place from which I have obtained documents. Kindle is great, as from any internet device I can see what I have obtained for the Kindle from Amazon. But what about the Gutenburg project information? What about the items on the Sony eReader? At least most of the physical material can be viewed from my existing software but then that doesn’t cover what’s in the eReader,
The only real answer seems to be to link the clouds… I’ll let you know how I get on 😉
