reabhecc) I had not looked into the digital media books previously (since I don't want to be reading a book off my computer screen, anyway-- the resolution isn't good enough, and it's really just not the same) except for the fact that not just some but all of the wall ads leaving the Lafante Plaza metro station on Saturday were duplicates for somebody's new digital reader.
But speaking of reading, is anyone familiar with an author called Diana Gabaldon? I'm unclear as to whether she writes historical fiction or time-travel fantasy, but Donna keeps telling me about how good her books are, and how all of her other "Society for Creative Achronism" friends *love* this author, and what she writes is just so *real* that you feel like you're actually there, and all the things that people say which make me wonder if this is advice that I in fact wish to listen to. Besides the fact that the only other thing I know about her SCA friends is that she once made one of them an amazing bead embroidered bellydance belt, which does not necessarily instill me with confidence about their level of historical accuracy.
