If your looking for a tablet...

I was at Border's yesterday and they are selling their Kobo ereaders for $40.00. I bought one and it already comes loaded with 100 classic books. I am reading the book Sea Wolf by Jack London on it now. I read that book years ago and it is nice to see it again.

I got my email notice from HP that they will be contacting me when they get them back in stock again. I imagine that I will surely get one......or as many as they will allow me to buy. I will take advantage to as many as they will sell me so I can ebay them also.

rumor is HP will restock them but probably not at 99&149 as it might have been a one time deal

SPARTANBURG, SC (WIS) - Spartanburg County deputies are looking for two men who sold a piece of wood painted to look like an iPad to a woman in a McDonald's parking lot.
Ashley McDowell, 22, told deputies she was buying food around 10:00 p.m. Monday when two men approached her in the parking lot trying to sell her an iPad or a laptop. According to a police report, the men showed McDowell a new iPad and told her they had bought several in bulk.
McDowell said she gave the men $180, and the men gave her a FedEx box out of the trunk of their car. When McDowell opened the box at home, she said she found a piece of wood painted black with an Apple logo.
McDowell told deputies one of the suspects had a gold tooth and was driving a white Chevy Impala with no rims and no tint.

OK just an update - I love reading Jack London and his works have been a solace to me. The good news is that they have a huge Jack London selection for free at Project Gutenberg!

Oh yea. There's tons of great books available absolutely free. Checkout Sir Walter Scott. It can be a tough read due to the Scot's dialect, but if you kind of say it aloud in your head, it makes it easier to read, and adds life to the stories :^)

I doubt they will be selling them at $99 though, it costs over $300 just to manufacture them. The margins aren't super high on tablets since they are kind of pushing the technology as it is.

Also lol @ the wooden ipad.

I sure they haven't placed a new order with the manufacturer. I'm thinking that they already had an order that was in progress or maybe still on the boat that they have to get rid of now. Or......they had a ton of parts made and needed to use them up. Either senerio is quite possible and very probable.

They seem to sell before they even hit the shelves. Must be nice to know somebody who works at Best Buy.

that should help keep my carbon footprint in check
