Calibre, Kindle 4 Non Touch

I’ve been using this new-to-me Kindle 4 Non Touchscreen for about a week or so now.  The page advance button on the right side is a little sensitive, causing the book to sometimes advance two pages about 25% of the time.  However, the battery life is still fantastic – and I discovered that I can use Calibre on my desktop as a “book server” and pull books off of it whenever I want.  That’s pretty damn neat.

I’ve gotten over the lack of organization caused by the Calibre DRM adjustments to books.  I’m generally only reading one book at a time and so the only “pain” I have is when switching between books.

The custom screensavers are still a source of great joy.  I’ll probably add a few more.  I’m still willing to give Duokan a try, but the incentive to do so is quickly fading when the Kindle is working so well as is.
