> Why the hell did the FBI let them off?

TL;dr: on what charges? Being an asshole and asking technical questions on a plane is not a crime unless it's post 9/11 and you are foreign. Back then, you'd need something to charge those guys with. They really didn't do anything but freak out some people. No weapons. No drugs. No assault. No hijacking. What do you charge them with that doesn't get them released within 48 hours anyway? They did exactly what was normal at the time. Then the interview was probably filed away somewhere, not to be seen til after 9/11 when we would have realized how important that event probably was. The rest of this post deals with why while proper procedure was likely followed, there was still a failure on the part of our intelligence community and the ways it functioned at the time.

Not you sir, but this whole thread quickly devolved to political blaming for the sake of political blaming. "your guy did it no it was your guy' your team my team bleh it's all i see on reddit these days. GO TEAM GO <derp./ Not you sir, but from here down it turned into a blame politicians thread and not a conversation about anything contained in the article. Suddenly the primarily problem here has devolved to clinton or bush instead of terrorists.

Gonna go ahead and leave this here:

The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11

because while I haven't seen the History Channel doc, I know the history channel has been shit for a decade now (longer than that if I'm honest) so feel like I would be remiss if I didn't suggest an actual source of info for those curious about the failures leading up to 9/11. My understanding is most people attribute the failure to a lack of communication between various agencies and police departments. Oh, and also the fault of <insert name of former president that I hate most here>, amirite?

The only thing I can add (besides a decent source) to the conversation being had here is this -

  • In terms of preventing 9/11, hindsight is - as always - 20/20. People didn't think pre-9/11 anything like they do now. We didn't even lock most cockpits back then. Cops came, determined they were not engaged in a crime/hijacking (being brown and an asshole back then was not a jailable offense to my knowledge, and if they didn't have anything illegal on their person I'm not sure what the charges would be), so they questioned them and let them go. There was a file in a cabinet about that somewhere. At the time, not sure what they were supposed to do there.

  • Nobody really considered an attack of that type. A hijacking, sure, but not the rest. Hell, when the buildings fell even al-Qaeda was like 'holy shit' because they hadn't foreseen the buildings coming down. The failures in situations like that were primarily that the FBI (as an example) would question guys like that, and no other agencies (state local police cia nsa whatever) would know about it. CIA would have a file on John Doe. FBI has a file. NSA has a file. Local police has a file. Another state also has relevant info. But they questinoned him, let him go and likely forgot about them. Pre-9/11 there was nothing particularly unusual happening unless you had all the info that was scattered so far and wide. This is a huge part of why we now have DHS. That consolidation is scary in one way to me, but they are undoubtedly more effective at what they are tasked with doing as a result. And

  • even if someone (Clinton, Bush, a piece of fried chicken bin Laden choked on one fine day in August, whoever) had killed bin Laden, that doesn't mean that attack or one very much like it would not have occurred. It's not like bin-Laden was in charge of the cell that carried out the mission, or even the guy who planned the operational details.

  • The thing that pisses me off about the whole thing is the Saudi government gets a free pass on everything and anything because whatever fuck you. And here we are arguing about your guy sucks no it was your guys fault no you. No. Saudi Arabia sucks. Oh, and terrorists suck. And yeah, it's their fucking fault. The people dying sucks. The dead don't care whose fault it was. Fuck turning it into a partisan political issue. Whatever I guess everything is these days. And that too sucks.

    I fucking hate reddit these past few years.

By the looks of it, this is the 2016 model - Kindle 8th Gen (basic, with no led lights).

I currently own one and it is a nice device.

u/Kichigai · 29 pointsr/gadgets

Note: all prices assume USD, and don't include shipping

You could get a Roku ($49-100) for streaming video services. Low power, easy to use.

If you want something a little more flexible you could try for an Android-on-a-Stick machine. People seem to like them, and they're usually under $100, depending on the model. There's also the Ouya game console for $99.

But let's say you're going all Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor on me and decide you need some More Power (augh augh augh!)™. Then check out the Raspberry Pi ($35 for the Model B board, you'll need to provide a USB-friendly power supply, keyboard/mouse, SD card, and case, but still reasonably done under $100), an ARM-based computer with a fair number of Linux distros and a good sized community. Or the BeagleBone, which runs Android (more expensive than the Pi, but potentially more capable). If you want to go more esoteric, you could get yourself a PowerPC-based computer for about $99.

If you fee like leaving the house, though, you could get yourself some Bluetooth headphones. While "wireless headphones" sound pretty silly, I find them great for bicycling and working out, since the cord can't snag on anything and I can use the physical controls on the headset to control music playback instead of fumbling around with the touch screen.

If you're looking to improve your health, you could pick yourself up a Fitbit to track your activity (any model will work, $59.99-$99.99). If you've got one of those already, you could throw in a Wifi scale. Or you could get a phone mount for your bicycle, so you can better track your rides with RunKeeper, Endomodo, or whatever fitness app you prefer. My favorite "gadget" for fitness these days is a subscription to a bikesharing system. Here in Minnesota we have Nice Ride MN for $65/yr, and is a Bixi bike system, which powers many bike systems, including New York's new Citi Bike system.

If you've already got plenty of stuff to go, though, maybe you'd just want a bag. Believe it or not, Timbuk2 has a sale section with many bags under $100, and I absolutely love my Timbuk2 Commute 2.0 bag.

However you might just want to relax, so you could hold out for a RetroN5, or if you're impatient just get a RetroN3 and settle for just NES, SNES and Genesis gameplay. If clever nerdy fashion is your thing, check out Cadence Watches. Be patient, sign up for the email news letters, and snag some huge discounts on them.

Now, you could also go for an online service! Bitcasa promises unlimited online storage for $99/year, but you could also just go for an honest-to-goodness backup servie like Carbonite, Mozy, Backblaze, Crashplan, or any of the several other dozen services out there.

On the other hand, maybe you just want to chill out and watch TV. Assuming you already have a computer (or an old one) you could add on a TV tuner and turn it into a DVR, even with just free over-the-air TV. There are good USB TV tuners to be had for ~$100, but I'd recommend trying to snag the network-enabled HD HomeRun 3 Dual ($99), which you can set up anywhere you can run a CAT5 cable (instead of needing it to be near your computer) and can simultaneously tune two separate channels. However, if you want to go a bit bigger and more celestial, for just a hair over $100 ($115) you can get a Free-to-Air Satellite TV kit. It's more popular in Europe, but there's some stuff available in North America. LyngSat has a thorough listing of FTA broadcasts, so you can look up which birds you can see from your home.

An alternative for enlightening entertainment could be an eBook reader. I have a Nook Simple Touch ($79, runs Android under the hood and is hackable) but you could also get a bog-standard Kindle ($69 with ads, $89 without, highly connected but less flexible if you don't want to use Amazon's services). You could also get a used Sony Reader for $100 or less (supports the widest range of formats, but has a relatively small store and very few services), a new Kobo ($79-99), or perhaps one of a myriad of other possible devices too. If the eReader taps out your budget, you can score some free books on Project Gutenberg and read some classics.

Or you could just buy $100 worth of LEGOS®. LEGOS® are always cool. And Super Soakers are still around. Whether you go big or go many is up to you. I'm not one to say whether you should get three hundred $1 hookerbots or one $300 hookerbot. You could also go bumming around your local thrift shops and see what surprises they have. I've found TI-99A/4s, Commodore 64s, Odyssey^(2)s, satellite radios, bluetooth keyboards, and all sorts of other surprises at them.

Edit: Bonus Under-100^(euros) item You could also try and snag a Geeksphone Keon, a development phone for the forthcoming Firefox OS. The hardware isn't all that exciting, but the OS is interesting and you can pick it up for €91, if you can actually find it in stock at the Geeksphone website. Its bigger brother, Peak, is €121 if you feel like splurging.

Amazonista Paperwhite, maksaa satkun. Versio, jossa on 3G maksaa tuplaten. Suosittelen tuota jälkimmäistä jos tapaat matkustaa ympäri maailmaa.

Saat amazon.comista ison määrän hyvähintaista kirjaa, lisäksi Calibre-ohjelmalla saat ladattua laitteelle muistakin kaupoista e-kirjoja.

Unfortunately, the most efficient way to become knowledgable about the Middle East is to read. A lot. The Middle East is a far more complex place than most people imagine and understanding the region requires a great deal of knowledge. I have been studying the Middle East for nearly a decade and I still feel like there is so much that I do not know. I would start by reading reputable news sources every day. Places like The Economist, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, BBC, Financial Times, are the Los Angeles Times are good English language news sources that you should look at. Additionally, I have written up a suggested reading list for learning about the Middle East, though it is a bit more security-related since that's my area of expertise. I hope it helps. And feel free to ask any questions if you have them.

Books - General History of the Middle East


u/greemmako · 13 pointsr/news

its shocking to me half a decade later people still have no understanding of why 9/11 and the earlier al quaeda attacks on the us happened considering it triggered a decade plus long "war on terror" that included the invasion of iraq in 2003 that we are still fighting. and im talking about you.

the original goal of al quaeda was to overthrow the egyptian and saudi arabian governments because they werent islamic enough. they turned their focus on the west after saddam invaded kuwait and instead of turning to an army of mujahadeen to kick him out the house of said turned to bush sr. al quaeda came to the conclusion they could never reach their goals of a true islamic state in the middle east as long as the us was so heavily involved - so they began provoking us to get us into an Afghanistan type situation where they successfully bled the soviets until they left. so far republicans in particular have been happy to oblige unfortunately and here we are today. i suggest you read the following if you care about actually understanding what is going on:

https://www.amazon.com/Looming-Tower-Al-Qaeda-Road-11/dp/1400030846

it isnt ironic or surprising wahabi fanatics would attack saudi arabia. it completely aligns with their stated goals pre 9/11

u/Februaryf · 13 pointsr/worldnews

> We propped up Osama Bin Laden up until he got smart and turned on us.

Please read a book about this, I beseech you. Nothing is worse than internet pop history/international relations. I'd suggest these:

https://www.amazon.com/Bin-Ladens-Arabian-American-Century/dp/0143114816

https://www.amazon.com/Osama-bin-Laden-Know-History/dp/0743278917/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+bin+laden+i+know&qid=1556584133&s=books&sr=1-1-catcorr

https://www.amazon.com/Looming-Tower-Al-Qaeda-Road-11/dp/1400030846

Bin Laden wasn't supported by the US, not because the US is a good guy (it's not, no country is despite redditors wishing it wasn't so), but because they just didn't care about him and he was already rich. There were a few hundred Afghan Arabs as opposed to tens of thousands of mujahideen. The CIA supported the latter, they just didn't give a shit about the former.

u/wolfram184 · 12 pointsr/changemyview

Do you even read your "sources"?

CIA AND FBI NOT WORKING TOGETHER. CONSPIRACY!

THE US GOVERNMENT USES THINK TANKS THAT HAVE FORMER POLITICANS AND EX-MILITARY! THE CABAL GOES DEEPER THAN WE THOUGHT!

No, organizations "defending their turf" is one of the biggest management roadblocks inside and outside the government. Even units inside the CIA and FBI often don't work together. It's human nature.

And of course the government is going to use foreign policy think tanks staffed by former goverment and private foreign policy experts. (And non experts, they can certainly be incompetent). I mean duh.

I know I don't have the time to waste on reading this inane BS. All it is is a bunch of (often dubious) correlations that are supposed to advance an agenda. I'll stick with reading actual sources like The Looming Tower or Ghost Wars

u/jsleathe12295 · 12 pointsr/suggestmeabook

I would highly recommend the kindle paper white 2 I have the 6th generation one which is just as good as the newer one just has a few small upgrades that arent worth it in my mind. I've had my paper white for 4 years and its been amazing. Battery life lasts like month or more, it has e-ink with a back lit display so it's easy to read and fall asleep. Doesn't have that bright invasive LCD feel an Ipad has or tablet. It has wifi capabilities to download books right when they are released. I can pre-order an e-book and go to sleep and on the morning it's released it's already downloaded to my Kindle. I read a lot and don't like carrying several books with me when I fly or travel gets to clunky for me. So as a book worm I would highly recommended this!

Edit: I'd also like to add that the e-ink makes it look like a real physical book page which makes it easy on the eyes and dont fully lose the physical book feel. Try and head to a bestbuy and play around with one.

u/o0oo0o_ · 12 pointsr/kindle

FWIW, the page for the current Paperwhite has had the same "now even better" text for quite a while.

https://www.amazon.com/b/?node=6669702011 and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZV9PXP2

But it still may get the "8th Generation" treatment soon.

u/LanceFromPokemon · 12 pointsr/kindle

I'm sure most of us will tell you that any backlit LCD/LED style tablet is not going to be great for reading books. I'd recommend something with an e-ink screen. You can get an Amazon Kindle for as low as $80 .

u/jytudkins · 11 pointsr/gaming

Not looking up the basic facts makes you look ignorant. It was orchestrated by Ramzi Yousef and financed by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, you know, the guy behind the 9/11.

He didn't even try to deny it, in fact he was proud of it, saying, in OPEN court in Manhattan (not in GITMO mind you), for everyone to see:

"Yes, I am a terrorist, and proud of it as long as it is against the U.S. government and against Israel, because you are more than terrorists; you are the one who invented terrorism and using it every day. You are butchers, liars and hypocrites."

And later he even cited Hiroshima and Nagasaki as reasons behind the attack:

"We declare our responsibility for the explosion on the mentioned building. This action was done in response for the American political, economical, and military support to Israel, the state of terrorism, and to the rest of the dictator countries in the region." He later stated that he had hoped to kill 250,000 Americans to show them the exact pain they had caused to the Japanese in the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

Jesus.. just read into it even a little bit before you start throwing this conspiracy nonsense around. Yousef copped to it. Kalid Sheikh Mohammed copped to it. There's no fucking conpspiracy.

If you really want to read in depth about the lead up from the first Word Trade Center attack to 9/11 (which I doubt you actually do), read The Looming Tower by New Yorker correspondent Lawrence Wright. It's exhaustively researched and has excellent footnotes. Seriously, try looking into it before swallowing that conspiracy crap whole.

u/yanoosh · 11 pointsr/kindle

It depends. Do you read a lot? Do you plan on reading a lot? Is the weight and size of physical books an issue with you? Do you not want to carry around books all the time? Those are pretty basic questions you should consider before considering any e-reader.

After that, what format of books do you read? Normal books, or comics? Maybe a cheap tablet would suit you better.

After that, do you really need the comfort of reading in darker places? If not, go with the basic Kindle for $69, which is lighter and has a more reliable page turning mechanism, but lacks a touch screen and has lower contrast/resolution.

If you want the advantage of ebooks over physical books, get a Nook or regular Kindle.

If you want the advantage of ebooks, higher contrast, and the ability to read in any lighting situation, get the Paperwhite. How much of a price discrepancy is there between the old and new Paperwhite?

u/akashik · 10 pointsr/kindle

I have the leather case on mine so it automatically turns off when I close the cover. I usually charge my Paperwhite every few weeks.

u/trinhno · 10 pointsr/kindle

Just get a refurbished kindle from Amazon. Same warranty as the usual Kindle.

You can wait for a price drop as well, another $20 off. (or maybe $10, but that's still considerable from a brand new one.)

Not sure if you have bad experiences with Kindle "Special Offer" editions in the past, but if not I would HIGHLY recommend you get that one instead. Not only are they cheaper, Amazon has been known to push through their own exclusive deals via Special Offer Kindles.

If I remember correctly, there have been discounts on their gift cards, steep prices cuts on electronics such as other Kindles and TVs, or more recently a Chromebook that went for $50 (I think).

I'm definitely going to preorder a Voyage. But I'm waiting on a case similar to this one.

I haven't read it, but I trust the author, because I've read his more recent books.

It focuses more on Al-Qaeda, but Lawrence Wright's 'The Looming Tower', is usually the first book I suggest to people looking to learn more about the broader subject. My Trip to Al-Qaeda is a documentary that covers a little bit about the book, which I highly suggest reading.

Other authors I read about the Middle East:

I decided to skip through the pentagon papers in my free time. Let that sink in for a moment...... I'm spending my free time away from studying history to study history.

Intramural Frisbee starts next week. Just in the past 3 months nearly all of my friends have broken some part of their lower body. This curse is too real for me.

Still having a drawn out passive aggressive argument about the definition of Anarchism. Its like we are playing one of those long games of chess that takes weeks to finish. He obviously isn't that involved else he would pull up the Wikipedia page and see that I'm right.

I'm having a hard time keeping presentism out of my studies as we start to pass over Greece's history till they get rekt by the Macedons. The whole Democracy^TM thing seems to start there, as does something like nationalism or even racial/ethnic supremacy. I keep drawing comparisons to America and it makes it hard to isolate myself from it. Anyone else get this?

Also halfway through The Looming Tower which I strongly suggest to anyone interested in understanding the conflict in the middle east.

If you look at any Kindle, Amazon offers two models, one “with special offers” and one “without special offers”. The “with special offers” is $20 cheaper than without them. Having “special offers” is just advertisements on the lockscreen of your kindle, typically pictures of books, maybe some information, and you can purchase them right from the homescreen. You can pay $20 to have them removed and have a generic background that changes, or, you can simply ask amazon support and if you’re a prime member, they’ll usually do it for free (worked for me!)

P.S.: this is what you’ll want

Assuming it survives EMP, a kindle and/or an Android device can hold tens of thousands of books. If you have something that can read SD cards you could store a boat-load of movies, music, books etc, plus games. Add a USB solar charger and you should be good for a very long time. Even a regular e-ink Kindle can go for WEEKS of use without having to recharge. Have a USB charging battery bank and a pile of charged rechargeable batteries and you can get through a good long time before you need to get the solar panel out.

HAM and SW radio (again assuming you can protect it from EMP).

Cards, dice, board games, pen-and-paper RPGs. Notebooks & journals to write in. Paper and art supplies like colored pencils, pens, etc. You can cram a whole lot of fun activities into a box the size of a toaster.

Football, soccer ball, frisbees.

Archery, slingshots, blowguns (blowguns are a blast, something you can do in a pretty small area, and are dirt cheap)

Carving and whittling.

Knitting, crochet, sewing, needlework, macrame, paracord stuff

Nicest one is the Oasis hands down, but it's also the most expensive.

Then Voyage.

Then Paperwhite.

Then regular Kindle with no backlighting.

If you're looking to save some money, go Paperwhite; if you want to go all out, get the Oasis. Buy the Voyage is you want to spend some extra money. The resolution is all the same (except the base Kindle) - 300 PPI - but different devices have different features.
Amazon provides a small comparison table, so check it out (you'll need to scroll down -- https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Kindle-ereader-Glare-Free-Touchscreen/dp/B00ZV9PXP2). You know your wife the best, so will she prefer to touch the screen, press the bezels, or need actual buttons. Touch is available on all devices, but the more premium ones have the other options (pagepress for Voyage and actual buttons on the Oasis).

It's a bit hard to point you in a direction without knowing what your budget is / how much you can afford.

They tell you what the conditions are that they advertise it under. More use == more power use. It's simple: If you read more than they tested, or turn on the wifi, or use brighter lighting, your battery life will drop. If you double the amount of time reading per day you can probably halve the battery life. What's even close to false about their advertising?

> A single charge lasts up to six (6) weeks, based on a half hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at 13. Battery life will vary based on light settings, wireless usage. Audible audiobook streaming over Bluetooth will reduce battery life.

I didn't read Ghost Wars yet despite it being downloaded on my kindle for like three months. But I did read The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright, which is also a great read.

u/fitandfed · 6 pointsr/politics

Not the first time. The CIA did the same thing with Khalid_El-Masri.

I was originally for the war in Afghanistan to go after al Qaeda. But when the U.S. is rendering the wrong people, torturing them and then refusing to release them even when they know they were innocent, well, that's where shit gets really bad and beyond criminal.

Yet no one has ever answered to or been punished for these crimes.

What's worse, as told in, among other sources, Lawrence Wright's book, Ali Soufan's book, Joby Warrick's book and the Secrecy Kills audio documentary 'Who is Richard Blee,' many of these people responsible were also responsible for the intelligence failures leading up to 9/11.

u/AaFen · 6 pointsr/pics

If you're interested in the subject matter you should take a look at Ghost Wars by Steve Coll, which is a nonfiction book about Afghanistan from the beginning of the Soviet invasion through to September 10, 2001 or The Looming Tower by Laurence Wright which is the history of al-Qaeda, bin Laden, and radical Islam in the latter half of the 20th century. Both are fascinating books and go a long way to dispel a lot of the misinformation and misunderstandings that surround the issue.

Are you using Amazon's non-lighted leather cover? There's a known problem with the old design (although they claim they've fixed it with the updated design). My Kindle keyboard froze and rebooted repeatedly until I removed the cover. I think the problem was that the clips that hold the Kindle contact the electronics inside and cause a short. Amazon upgraded me to the lighted cover for free, and I haven't had a problem since.

Have you taken a look at the official Amazon cover? I've had mine for about 2 years now and it's fantastic. The 'leather' is starting to wear down on the corners but it doesn't really bother me.

u/towardthefinish · 6 pointsr/kindle

Get the official amazon case...it's great. http://amzn.com/B007R5YFS4

Then pickup a cheap neoprene sleeve with it. http://amzn.com/B005KELR3A

What you have created is a otterbox-like case for it....a hard rigid shell surrounding the PW protecting it from bends, etc. and then a soft absorbent case surrounding the hard rigid case which protect it from falls, bashes, etc.

I have this setup and couldn't be more happier. I have the exact same cases linked above...the official PW case fits nicely, but a little snuggly, into the Belkin neoprene case.

If you're going to be in a wet environment, pickup some desiccants to help with the moisture issue, and use them with the PW case - maybe in a ziploc bag or smaller pelican bag/box. http://amzn.com/B00967JFMM

A word of caution about moisture: What you do not want to do is expose the device to a very moist/humid environment, and then shove it back in a waterproof/etc. bag. You need a way to get rid of the moisture - putting it in a waterproof pelican bag is basically creating a small greenhouse, because the moisture has no way to escape. Your stuff will be "dry" but it will never feel 100% dry. Electronics will suffer tremendously. This is why I suggest the desiccants. Keep a ton of them, and replace them often. Store them separately, in multiple bags (large ziploc bag, then smaller ziploc bags with 1-2 desiccants each). This way when you need 1-2 you only have to expose a small number of them to the environment. Put one wherever your most precious gear is...so in the bag your PW is in, your socks/underwear, maps, etc. They will absorb the moisture but need to be changed probably 1-2 times a day depending on how wet/humid the environment is. Read up on compartmentalization of your gear for your trip, and Good Luck!

I think troublesome naming is the real culprit here:

u/163941 · 5 pointsr/kindle

The lack of buttons is not a big deal to me. I switched from a Kindle 4 to a Paperwhite 2 a few months ago, and haven't missed them at all.

With a touchscreen, the general interface is a lot better than the non-touch devices, and I also prefer the touchscreen for turning the pages. With the Kindle 4/5 the page turn buttons are very thin and right at the edge of the device - it was easy to turn the page accidentally, and awkward to use if you had the device in a case.

What I would miss though, is the Paperwhite's light.

To be honest, I ended up not using my first Kindle nearly as much as I thought I would because I never had the right lighting for it, and the lighted cases were terrible.

Since buying the Paperwhite I'm reading probably an hour or two a day now - and more importantly, have continued to do so, because the screen is always bright and easy to read whether you're in bed at night or just aren't near a bright light that's suitable for reading with.

Even in a bright room, the light helps make the page appear whiter. (hence the name "Paperwhite")

The higher resolution screen is nice too, but not a deal-breaker - especially if you use Amazon's own fonts. I do like to use custom fonts though, which do look better on the higher resolution display.

Here are some photos I took when my Paperwhite 2 arrived, in a moderately bright room:

  • Kindle Paperwhite (light on)
  • Kindle Paperwhite (light off)
  • Kindle 4
  • (bonus iPad Air)

    This is using a custom font, but if you look at the A's and y's the lower resolution of the Kindle 4 is noticeable. With the built-in fonts like Caecilia, or at larger font sizes, it's less noticeable, but I do still prefer reading on the higher resolution screen.


    Especially if this is your first e-reader, I would urge you to spend/save the extra $40 for the Paperwhite model rather than the basic Kindle. You won't regret it.

Honestly I just like posting smile links and I always pull out any extra info without thinking about it too much.


Either the info in the referral code was incorrect (e.g. someone copy and pasted the link from their browser and already got referred from an ad, etc.) or someone is trying to monitor traffic from this specific link. Even if nobody is making money off of it, I prefer the privacy of anonymity if nothing else. It's much more that I just shorten links out of habit.


I just visited this site in an incognito browser:

Well the main fuck up of america is that they had a legislation that the CIA wrongly interpreted. Basically they thought they could be prosecuted if they divulged intel among themselves so a lot of CIA agents didn't say anything about the plot for 9/11 even if they knew years before it happened. When an FBI agent in yemen that exhausted himself trying to figure out where Bin Laden would strike found out about this after 9/11 he almost threw up out of disgust.

The regular Kindle that Amazon sells today is not a touchscreen either.

u/RobbStark · 4 pointsr/kindle

I have the official Amazon cover for my Paperwhite and it's actually much easier to operate and hold in one hand. Most of that is because it's smaller, thinner and lighter. The case is also quite nice, as the entire body of the Kindle fits into it snugly rather than being attached with metal clips on the side like my old Kindle Keyboard.

As for the touch screen: fear not, for I had the exact same concern. I was worried the lack of physical buttons would be annoying. Turns out that using your thumb to tab the screen is very easy, perhaps even more convenient and reliable than the physical buttons on the Keyboard. There's plenty of bezel on the Kindle and the case its own to let me hold on without accidentally touching the screen, as well.

A kindle is as cheap as 60 bucks right now...
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Glare-Free-Touchscreen-Display-Wi-Fi/dp/B00I15SB16/

I own books that cost roughly half that. Not to mention its tiny, lasts weeks on a single charge, its tiny and light, and easy to read.

Not to mention, if someone DOES steal your kindle, you can buy a new one, and since its linked to your Amazon account, you can download all your books back onto it instantly. So your risk of loss is actually just the 60 bucks into the device since the books are stored online.

I admit I still keep a lot of physical copies of some books I already owned, buy rarely, if ever, buy a physical copy anymore.

u/TeaRex- · 4 pointsr/declutter

Spend a weekend and scan all your finished notebooks into a text searchable pdf.

There some amazing websites where you can get digital copies of your books for free. I recommend getting them in .epub format because it's supported by the most different devices (and works really well with Apple's iBooks). However if your getting a kindle then .mobi is a better supported format.

Grab a cheap e-paper reader and load all your books onto there. If you have comics or some extra pocket money than I suggested getting a color tablet or wait for the new color e-paper technology to hit he market.

I'm suggesting e-paper because it's easy on the eyes, kinda looks like paper, and it doesn't require battery to keep the display on only to change the display (the technology is pretty cool).

I did this, donated 90% of my books and only kept one or two series.

Going Clear and The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright.

u/OleToothless · 3 pointsr/geopolitics

Firstly, it's not accurate nor sagely to state that "every book is biased". Secondly, make sure you're using the word bias correctly. A bias, in printed media, would fail to include, ignore, diminish, and/or fail to find merit in the opposed subject matter - much more sever, in my opinion, than presenting the information with a certain perspective in mind.


That said, it's going to be difficult to find books about the Syrian War because it's still ongoing. You're basically asking for books that have either been subjected to scholarly review and the historical method, or data put out by NGOs. None of that really exists yet. But, I'd suggest this book as a start, gives a good history of wahabism and salafism, the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, the bin Laden family and it's ties to the KSA, and provides a pretty good framework for the various religious tensions and floes in the Middle East and North Africa. There are more scholarly books on the subject but I enjoyed his writing style and the facts are all there.


The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright



Other than that, this is probably the most "scholarly" publication on the Syrian Civil War so far, to my knowledge.

Her blogging frequency is spotty, but I've learned a ton from Leah Farrall's analysis - she's at allthingscounterterrorism.com and @allthingsct. She's Australia-focused, since that's where she is, but she's done some great writing on al-Qa'ida.

A different kind of source, broadly national security focused so only sometimes about terrorism, but very sharply analytical is John McCreary's Nightwatch newsletter, which you can subscribe to. He was a DIA analyst for decades.

If you want a great, very readable history of al-Qa'ida specifically, there's nothing better than Lawrence Wright's The Looming Tower.

Edit: I also want to recommend Thomas Hegghammer.

13 year old daughter and I both have this case (we have Touches, not Paperwhites). http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Cover-Amazon-Kindle-Touch/dp/B005PCOKEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374983123&sr=8-1&keywords=moko+kindle+touch They have protected the Kindles well in both our backpacks with textbooks (mine much heavier than hers). She likes the little flap on the front when she is reading a series so she can slip in a scrap of paper with the correct order.

The top review on the Touch version says it had a strong smell - we did not experience that problem with either color we bought.

Here is the link to the Paperwhite version: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Paperwhite-Resolution---Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B0062IPIPQ/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1374983373&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=moko+kindle+paperwhite

The only thing I would change would be to add external magnets to hold the cover in place when open, but that is very very minor. Couldn't beat the price though! There was no way I was going to spend almost half of what I paid for the device on an officially branded case.

u/Melorix · 3 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I would take off to Playa de Blanca, Spain. The weather is slightly warmer than here already, but I just want a week of laying on white sand beaches, drinking cocktails, and reading from my Kindle. Reading takes me out of the real world for awhile, which lately is something I've been needing. Can I take my dog to Spain? Because I'd totally do that. We'd stay at the Dream Gran Castillo Hotel. I mean, look at that shit. Five stars, yo.

u/pwnerwpistol · 3 pointsr/tablets

Well, if this tablet is strictly for reading books, I would recommend you get an actual e-Reader, specifically the Kindle by Amazon. It has an e-ink screen, which is neat because it is easy to use in bright light, and it only uses battery when the screen actually changes, meaning these things can go for at least a week without charging. In terms of digital book selection, it is hard to beat Amazon, and even if they don't have something you want, you can easily side load additional content without much hassle.

Here is a link to the device:

As you can see, there are many different models to choose from, so you are bound to find something. The other really nice thing about the Kindle, is that it is MUCH cheaper than an iPad or android tablet. I hope this helped.

u/IgnatiousReilly · 3 pointsr/gadgets

The plain ol' Kindle is the lightest they make at 5.98 ounces. The Paperwhite is a bit heavier at 7.5 ounces.

If weight is of the utmost importance I'd go with the original Kindle. It's the one my 63 year old mother with arthritic hands and a bad wrist has used for years. She loves it. In fact, she's about to have major surgery in a few weeks and she's asked me to find digital copies of some of her favorite books so she can read them on the Kindle instead of having to hold heavy books. I'd recommend it.

u/_wannabe_ · 3 pointsr/blogsnark

I didn't get a protection plan, but I did get a nice portfolio case like this one. I like that it automatically turnd the Kindle off once you close the cover.

u/key2 · 3 pointsr/Fantasy

I had the original Kindle and then it got stolen. I decided to upgrade to the Paperwhite and I highly recommend it, it's definitely worth it and makes night-time reading so much better than the original (no more need for a lamp or reading light). You can adjust the level of the light depending on the time of day and the current light conditions and the levels of light are very gradual so you can really fine-tune your light preference in the moment.

Protip - you can buy a 'refurbished' one straight from Amazon and they're slightly cheaper but still come with a warranty. It's essentially good-as-new, there are no marks or anything on mine.

Definitely go Paperwhite.

If you don't want to spend the money on it though, both options are better for reading than a tablet - these devices are optimized specifically for reading and they are better for your eyes. There is never a glare.

Edit: Link to refurbished option

Again this is straight from Amazon so you still get the warranty and everything, it's essentially brand new.

u/MagicMoon · 3 pointsr/kindle

Well Amazon does sell a certified refurbished voyage with a warranty for $152. Should be basically the exact same as a new one, this is the version that includes special offers too.

If you think of the internet as an imaginary kingdom where you can explore dozens of different countries and meet the residents there, you won't be too far off. :) Welcome to Reddit-land.

My mum (she's 70) uses the internet for a couple of things. 1) games 2) shopping 3) library books 4) facebook.

I don't know if you like games, but I'd start with Big Fish Games if you do. See how that text is a different color? You can click on it and go there. When you're there, check out "Online Games." They are free and easy to get started with.

For books, you'll want an e-Reader. I recommend the Kindle Paperwhite, because it is very easy to use and very easy to read. That will also bring us to shopping. Take a look at this. Amazon - Kindle Paperwhite

Anyway! that's probably enough to get you started! You can probably get free electronic books from your local library. I would call your library and ask them if they offer that before you purchase an e-Reader.

Can't wait to hear more about your adventures!

u/DiDgr8 · 3 pointsr/ereader

The eye strain improvements of e-ink are due to the fact that the screen isn't "flickering" or "refreshing" itself 60 times per second like LCD screens. You're right to believe they are "easier on the eyes" (whether you need glasses or not).

Your requirements pretty much embrace every ereader out there (as opposed to LCD tablets). All the e-ink screens are pretty much dedicated readers.

  • Kindles,

  • Kobos,

  • Nooks, or

  • Onyx Booxes.

    All fit your bill. 6" is the most common size (there are bigger, but you pay disproportionately more).

    The only thing that narrows your field even somewhat is the ePub library. Kindles can read ePubs if you're willing to jump through some hoops (either by "jaibreaking" the unit or by converting files on your PC and then sending them to your unit) but they don't support them "out of the box".

    The "special features" aren't all fluff. Waterproof is nice if you use it by the pool (e-ink is especially suited for viewing outdoors), and some of the Kobos have native Overdrive support for checking books out of your local library for free.

    Finally, there are older "Pearl" screens and newer "Carta" displays when it comes to e-ink. The Carta and Carta2 screens are usually denoted as "HD" or list a dot pitch of more than 200 ppi.

    Screen resolution improvements in the Carta displays are a little "fluffy", but the newer models don't "ghost" after a page turn and "refresh" a little faster. But if you "settle" for a (cheaper) Pearl display, it's not the end of the world.

    Personally, I'd suggest the Onyx Boox C67ML Carta2, but you could get the cheapest Kindle if you can live without a frontlight and can put up with ads on the lockscreen. Both would "fill the bill".

You can get a Paperwhite in the Amazon.ca store as well.

I bought my Paperwhite a few years ago (from the Canada store as well) and felt unsure about it too. But once I got it, am can not do without it. I read a lot more now than I would have before.

It's the light feature that makes it so much better. I felt like I had to always find a really good light source always when reading with a book, but not with the Paperwhite. So, it was an awesome buy for me. No regrets.

Reading novels on the phone/tablet is really an eye-straining task, especially at night so of course you cannot binge it like manga. However, you could buy an e-reader that helps to reduce that like a Kindle or Kobo. And I don't think there is any trick or habit to read LNs, just read what you find interesting. You could start with some that have anime this season like Eromanga or Sword Oratoria.

And, just like /u/AshLucas said, you should always look for official translations as they usually are in much higher quality, so that you don't have to struggle to understand a paragraph.

E-paper is a type of display where rather than using a lcd monitor (light emitting), it electronically moves and displays ink to emulate the look of ink on paper (light reflecting). I find e-paper to be pretty indistinguishable from paper as far as glare/eyestrain is concerned. Most e-readers, such as nook or kindle use it. Things like the kindle fire or the nook color/hd are the exceptions. Personally I use the nook.

This is the one I have and it continues to serve me well. It seems to have been replaced by this newer model however. If you want the kindle equivalent, this is what you want with and without backlight.

Wow... I honestly didn't mean for this to become a sales pitch, but those are examples of e-paper based devices. Personally, as a poor college student, I prefer digital just to save space but, it doesn't have to come at the cost of eyestrain. I hope you enjoy the book, however you read it :).

Also, la pantalla es perfecta para leer. El brillo lo podés regular hasta lo mínimo imaginable lo que lo hacer perfecto para leer a la noche cuando estás en la cama con todas las luces apagadas.

Amazon has kindles with light that were designed to reduce blue light, assuming you mean that you read on your phone or tablet.

The Amazon Basics Lightning cable has 43,000 reviews compared to their best selling house branded product, the Kindle Paperwhite which has 46,000 reviews. So basically one of their highest selling products is barely more popular than their replacement for Apple cables.

I have a new MacBook Pro and an iPhone 7 within arms reach and both are charging with Amazon branded cables. The iPhone is plugged into an Amazon branded brick. The MBP uses USB-C, which is a very NON-Apple-proprietary port. If/when it wears out, I'll buy an Amazon Basics replacement.

I've had two NOOKS from Barnes and Noble, which I wouldn't recommend strictly because Barnes and Noble's customer service SUCKS. Also, if you purchase an E-book from Barnes and Noble, it isn't yours..they can and will snatch them right out of your library if they feel it's warranted. Also, their file type is proprietary and you can't download the file directly to your computer (or other device) to put onto another non-NOOK device like a tablet, etc. If you want to read your NOOK files on another device, you're forced to install their app, which I didn't really care for.

Right now I have a very basic Kindle E-reader that I really really like. I don't like that they display ads on the screen when it's in sleep mode, but other than that I think it's a great little e-reader and would highly recommend it.

It may make difference if you read PDFs frequently. Else, for reflowable text with Bookerly, pixels are hardly noticeable. If you have not to read in low light often then there is little value for double the price.

Also check Reviews and search for terms like resolution, pixels, etc.

PS: I own one. Text rendering is better than half of the books in my College library.

I like my slim paperwhite case because the fake leather or otherwise textured skin makes me feel like it is less of a tech screen item.

Also, opening the case wakes it up and unlocks the screen.

I am on this one currently.

u/viper_in_the_grass · 2 pointsr/kindle

I checked a few older threads and here are a few links to suggested covers:

Fintie

Omoton

MoKo

They all bend backwards and have auto wake/sleep. They all have different colours and designs.

These are the regular covers. There are also some neat covers called origami that fold in the back, making a little stand for the Kindle. Here's one by Fintie. Seems like all these brands have them, so just search and choose your favourite.


Note: those links are for the Paperbacks versions. If you go with the Voyage, just search for that version.

Not many get screen protectors. Unlike with a smartphone, scratching isn't really a concern since you're not carrying it in your pocket all the time. The actual concern is pressure / shock breaking the screen. For that I think a case is better.

For the case, I've used the official Amazon one, a "high quality" 3rd party one, and a cheap Ebay one. The real world quality goes High - Low in that order, but I'd say the best value by far is the "high quality" 3rd party one - like this one on Amazon, Finite paperwhite cover

Try to buy an old kindle for $10-$35 and trade it in to get 25% off a new oasis. plus $5/$25/$50 trade in credit for trade-in depending on age/type of kindle.

https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Trade-In/b?ie=UTF8&node=10825010011

Depending on Oasis 3 version getting you can save $67-$92... this saving I put towards the 3-year insurance and a sleeve

u/highorderdetonation · 2 pointsr/ereader

If you're willing to jump through a hoop or two to move ebooks around on your own, then it's more a question of what you're looking for in an e-reader...and a backlight doesn't reduce your possibilities as much as you'd think. That still covers the Kindle Paperwhite (and/or Oasis, albeit with ads on the lock screen AIUI), or the Nook Glowlight 3, or the Kobo Aura 2...and those are indeed the major players. There are also models like the Boyue Likebook Mars and Onyx Boox Note out there if you're wanting something more platform-agnostic (sort of, since they're openly Android-based).

That said, with my admittedly limited experience with e-readers, it probably comes down to three questions:

  1. How much do you want to spend on an e-reader? (For all intents, the low end starts at about $100 USD unless you catch a sale.)
  2. How large an e-reader do you want? (The vast majority are 6"; you then jump to 7.8", then to around 10").
  3. What bells and whistles do you want? (As in how much internal storage space it has, backlighting and/or the ability to tweak same, whether it has an SD card slot, audiobook capability--which you already said was not a factor--and so on.)

The Looming Tower

It may be too focused on the CIA & FBI and global terrorism, but if Ghost Wars is your cup of tea, this is a pretty good one as well.

u/CaptBakardi · 2 pointsr/neutralnews

> How can you almost guarantee that? Do you have evidence to support the assertion?

I think its worth noting that in [The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11] (https://www.amazon.com/Looming-Tower-Al-Qaeda-Road-11/dp/1400030846/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465999587&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=9%2F11+the+hunt+for+al+qaeda) it is demonstrated how all of Al Qaeda and thus arguably modern Islamic extremism stems from prison round ups and treatment in such prisons. This doesn't justify /u/mentaljewelry 's statement that the US was involved in his radicalization but supports that such detainment generally did.

u/Iamnotmybrain · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'political books' but I'm going to assume that you're looking for books that help explain the current political situation and current events. Maybe I'm wrong.

Fiasco and the follow up by Thomas Ricks The Gamble. These are fantastic books that put the Iraq war in perspective.

Looming Tower. A great book about the lead-up to 9/11.

For stuff about torture and Bush's policies therein I'd start with Dark Side but Torture Team is better, just more legalistic and possibly drier.

For understanding the politics right now I think it's really good to know about authoritarianism. It's completely changed how I've viewed politics. This is a new book on the subject that I have on my shelf but haven't gotten around to reading.

If this is the type of stuff you're looking for, I'm happy to provide other recommendations, but I think that's a good place to start.

I'll add a few more that don't deal directly with overall ME history:

​

  1. Ghost Wars - It's really two stories: 1) The USA's involvement in Afghanistan in the 1980s. and 2) The aftermath of the war (i.e., the rise of the Taliban and AQ). There's a second volume called "Directorate S" which I have not read yet (I plan on reading it soon).

    ​

  2. This one is covers recent events in Egypt

    ​

  3. I read a book review of this one and it is on my list.

  4. The Looming Tower This will overlap nicely with "Ghost Wars"

The NSA had substantial transcripts of telephone conversations between known Al Qaeda members, some of whom turned out to be hijackers. They refused to share the transcripts with the FBI. The FBI actually started building cellular listening posts in Africa and Asia to do there own listening, since the NSA was so uncooperative. Then the NSA agreed to show them a summary of the transcripts.

Meanwhile the CIA knew that two known Al Qaeda members had US visas and did not tell the FBI or State Department. And this was after the African embassy and USS Cole bombings. The hijackers entered the US and disappeared.

Source: The Looming Tower

This NOVA page also touches on it:

> NARRATOR: But was NSA doing its job before the 9/11 attacks? It's a question that has never been thoroughly investigated.

> MICHAEL SCHEUER (Former Central Intelligence Agency Analyst): None of this information that we're speaking about this evening is in the 9/11 Commission Report. They simply ignored all of it.

> NARRATOR: But author James Bamford has investigated and come up with a chilling tale of terrorists, living in San Diego, communicating with bin Laden's operations center in Yemen, moving freely about, and all the while, NSA is listening in.

To give up your anonymity so these guys can monitor everyone and then consistently fail to stop the main targets is crazy. They can still target them without collecting American's communications.

u/PaddysMac · 2 pointsr/suggestmeabook

The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 by Lawrence Wright is absolutely a great read. Gives a lot of background, history, and insight into the major players that led to the ideology of Al Qaeda and the perpetrators of the act.

The Siege of Mecca: The 1979 Uprising at Islam's Holiest Shrine by Yaroslav Trofimov

I just started this one and it's very interesting. Almost reads like a thriller. This book more or less covers a major incident that isn't well know, but helped to lead to the modern Islamic terrorism we now have.

u/ALincoln16 · 2 pointsr/conspiratard

It's clear you've ignored everything I've said because you keep ignoring the most important thing I've pointed out. You haven't provided any evidence. Here, I'll even quote myself to show this:

>And again, just so you're not confused, pointing out links and patterns is not evidence to prove an accusation. It only proves you've shown links and patterns. Without evidence it is meaningless.

So you haven't provided anything. And until you do I or anyone else don't have to play your Argument from Ignorance game. It's that simple. You may be comfortable in forming your beliefs on bad logic but many people aren't.

You said it took you months to reach your conclusions. Maybe it's time to start again but this time base it all on the evidence and not other people's claims. After all, you don't want to be a sheeple that just believes what people tell them do you? Here's a good book to start with:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1400030846

And if that's too much, at least go to the library and check out the sources the book uses.

Also, why fuck the police? You use the same logical fallacies the bad ones use when they make false accusations. You're like kindred spirits.

You could get the amazon cover without the light and just buy a cheap book light as suggested by others. There's a used one going on Amazon for £23.55 at the moment, and as it's from amazon warehouse deals it's going to be practically new.

like you stated, i do probaply 90% of my reading in bed. i keep my kindle (non-touch) on my nightstand, so i honestly could not justify the price of the kindle lighted cover.

its definitely not as nice as the "kindle cover" but its a fraction of the price. it has a light, and it will protect it if the thing falls, or if i decide to take it with me when i go on vacation.

It's actually still country limited, just not as limited as Google. Croatia and France already has Kindle available (which, I assume, is some EU wide licensing deal perhaps?), but my country (Malaysia) is still a black hole with no Kindle support.

Sundry list: Kindle.

It's for my dad. His birthday and father's day are the same day. It's a combo gift. He's been through a lot, health-wise, and he's finally at a place he can relax. We both love reading and bond over books better than anything else. I'm one of 4 kids and reading was the thing we had together while I was growing up, that nobody else shared. It was really special.

Books list: Mr. Mercedes

Stephen King and I have a long relationship. I've got Dark Tower tattoos, even. I have read everything he's written that I could get my hands on. This comes out in June. I own all of his books in hardcover. My den is basically a shrine to Uncle Steve.

Home Improvement list: Recessed Light Can Converters

I bought a house last year. It's got sunken eyeball lighting in the kitchen. They really, really creep me out. I know it's irrational. But I plan to put mini pendent lights in instead. o_O

Kitchen and Noms list: Instant Read Pocket Thermometer

I recently bought a bread machine. It's great and I use it every day, almost. Some of the breads require water at an exact temperature. I need a thermometer that starts at zero for this.

Pets and Wildlife list: Feliway

I have a ten-year-old neurotic cat who takes his pants off when he's anxious. This helps keep him decent. ;)

My son's birthday list: Wooden Pantry Products

The boy turns 2 in May. He has a play kitchen, but no play food yet. (He did have some cardboard boxes that came with the set, but he ate them in true baby form.) This set of wood pantry items will hold up and also be fun for stacking.

Based on your requirements, get the Kindle DX:

  • just plain, no LED - yes
  • big screen (over 6 in) - yes
  • accepts .mobi files from computer - yes (get Calibre, e-mail them, or drop them via Amazon Cloud)

    If you're open to a smaller device, I highly recommend the Paperwhite 2. It's cheaper, but I think it has nicer features. The always on light isn't an eye strain but instead serves to make the background just look white as if you're reading off of good paper. The DX doesn't have a backlight, so you would need an external light source if you want to read as it gets dark out.

Wait, whaaat? A real Kindle? I'm totally in! Stop dicking around!


I don't have one favorite book, there are way too many to pick just one. My favorite kids book is The Little Prince, that was the first book I fell in love with when I was young. Now as an adult, some of my favorites are American Gods and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, The Stand by Stephen King, and The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I have been hoarding Kindle books for a good while and reading the really good ones on my computer, but I think the one I'd read right away is one I just got called Encouraging Words For Kids.

Edit: I had that Kindle on my list a few moths ago but someone bought it off of my list for themselves, which removed it from my list. I also had the Fire on the list, but I never got around to re-adding this one. I just re-added it. :P

I grew up reading books, I have a post in the fire contest, but I know I'm not going to get it. Just gotta pick myself up and push on! Like I said in the Fire contest, I grew up reading books so I would constantly immerse myself in the fantasy world, and create myself in that world like I was helping them or I was following along with them as they were my friends. I've always loved books, and lately.. I've been losing touch with books, and I hope that the kindle can help me get back in touch with reading because I can't pick up a regular book anymore and read because I just lose interest, but I'm always hogging my mom's Kindle. It'll be wonderful if I could have my own so my mother could have her sanity. Hah :)

1.) Something that is grey. [Not on wishlist]


2.) Something reminiscent of rain. [Not on wishlist]


3.) Something food related that is unusual.


4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!)

This is for my classroom mostly. One of the projects the student's like to do is making board games. They like using various types of die, but when we made cardboard ones, they fall apart.

5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it!

I can't give too great a reference. This book is on my wishlist, as I've not read it, after all. It's supposed to be really funny though, with an interesting story. The downside is that getting the whole series is too expensive.


6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related! [Not on wishlist]


7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...)

These are pretty awesome.


8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it. [Not on wishlist]

I've wanted one of these for ages, but they're not useful enough to justify.


9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? [Not on wishlist - I own it]

It's incredibly funny and almost everyone has seen the film it's based on. A lot of people have never even seen a parody movie, so it's a new genre to a lot of people and thus a new experience.


10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain.

A bit of a different item than normal. When the zombies attack, we're going to need to be well rested. Baseball bats and the like are common enough, but a good pillow is hard to find.


11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. [Not on wishlist, as Amazon.co.uk item]

A book about learning to become a Primary School teacher. After my current teaching job, I want to go back and train as one in my home country.


12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. [Not on wishlist - the base game is on wishlist].


13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why?

Playstation 4. It's not on my wishlist as I think anyone would ever buy it, but more to remind myself that it's region-free and only $400 in the US if I can get enough giftcards someday. In my home country it's about $550. The why is mostly Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV - both series which I've gained a lot of enjoyment from. There's also that some of my favorite series such as Disgaea are Playstation-exclusive.


14.) Something bigger than a bread box.


15.) Something smaller than a golf ball.


16.) Something that smells wonderful.


17.) A (SFW) toy.


18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.

(For reading digital textbooks on)


19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be.

Disgaea D2. My current obsession has been trying to convert my old Disgaea 3 save, which has 120 hours and my Disgaea 4 save which has 95 hours, so that I can use it on another PS3.


20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand. [Not on wishlist.. but it should be]

The toilet throne. It's amazing that someone has thought of it, if nothing else. Now you can feel like a Queen or King, while going to the restroom.

I no longer teach in the public school system, but I use my credentials to teach/tutor at private facilities like Sylvan to help kids who are behind or to get credits for homeschooled kids. So, I guess I am a teacher by those standards still. I intend to go back into public education as soon as I can successfully transfer all my credentials across state lines, which might require I go back to school a little bit.

  • A signed art piece from one of her favorite artists. If you cannot get one, frame a reprint or poster nicely.

  • Pendleton Wool Blanket - beautiful, artful, well made, warm. An expensive but beautiful present.

  • Kindle E-Ink Reader (if she doesn't have one) - seems less BIFL than some items, but e-ink is somewhat of a staple now. It's less influenced by changing technology than other items.

    Experience Gifts

    Take her somewhere or arrange a special activity that will create a lasting memory.

  • Find out if any of her favorite authors are on book signing tours. Order a copy of the book and let her know your plan to go to the signing with her.

  • Take her to a museum or art gallery. Research the collection before you go. Being knowledgable of the history or development of the items and collection will make the experience better for you. Showing that you care about and understand her interests is the best gift. Spend a lot of time on this; use it as a way to connect on something she loves.

  • Go to a wine, beer, cheese, vodka, chocolate, [whatever] tasting. Have her pick out a bottle/package to take home at the end, but let her know that is the intention going in. So she can consider in a very real way what she may like most during the event.
u/bobbleheadRob · 2 pointsr/BuyItForLife

Why do you want a tablet? If you can't quantify the reason for wanting a tablet, it is just going into a junk drawer. You mentioned reading. For optimal reading, I would recommend a Kindle. It's got an E-ink display which is much easier on the eyes as staring at a lit display like on computers and smartphones can be tiring after a while. It is made specifically for reading. You can buy books on amazon that fit the format.

Tablet sales have stagnated this year. You have lots of companies churning out cheap poorly made tablets (the sub-$100 tablets on sale on black friday came completely unsecure and dangerous!). Personally, I go to my smartphone for convenience, but my laptop for longer casual browsing. The tablet just doesn't get much use.

Cool chocolates. Like these guys that were mentioned on the front page yesterday. Or these chocolate covered fruits - the chocolatier that makes these was down the street from one of my old jobs and we loved it when somebody would get some delivered.

Live plants. I hate cut flowers because I think it's sad that they're dead. But I love live plants. Orchids are gorgeous and always seem kind of luxe to me. A bonsai tree would be cool, too, though!

You could use Taskrabbit or a similar service to bring her a meal from her favorite restaurant for lunch, or a nice dessert, or something.

A gourmet tea or coffee gift basket.

A cool surprise gift - getting a box and not knowing what was inside and opening it to find a Kindle would be neat. Or jewelry. And any office I've been in, people were nosy enough that everyone would know that I had gotten a gift and what I had gotten no matter what it was.

As far as you saying only "idiots" thought Los Angeles would be next, you obviously don't know what you are talking about. Los Angeles was almost first, according to Richard Wright's amazing 2006 book The Looming Tower, Shiek Mohammed wanted to attack U.S. Bank tower in L.A. but Bin Laden overruled it because they didn't have enough time to prepare. This was also echoed in Eric Lichtblau's much sited 2003 NY Times article. And Ahmed Ressam was captured in 1999 trying to cross the border from the west coast of Canada into the United states with bomb materials in a plot to attack LAX. Yes Los Angeles was a legitimate target, and we probably don't even know the half of it as to how close it came to being attacked.

Osama bin Laden was not acting at the direction of the Saudi government. I believe O. B. L. had been disowned by his own family, the Saudi royal family and had had his Saudi citizenship revoked.

I've got two book recommendations -

Book: Warriors of God

Author: Nicholas Blanford

Significance: Blanford, a journalist who spent many years as a correspondent in Lebanon, provides a detailed and readable account of Hezbollah's history, structure, and strategy.


Book: The Looming Tower

Author: Lawrence Wright

Significance: The Looming Tower provides an excellent and comprehensive history of Salafi Jihadism and how it relates to Al-Qaeda's development.

No it wasn't.

al-Qaeda associates had already detonated bombs at the World Trade Center in 1993, more bombs at American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, and killed American sailors near Yemen on the USS Cole in 2000. In 1999, Time Magazine got an interview with bin Laden where he says "God knows we have been pleased at the killing of American soldiers." The 2001 hijackings were perpetrated by a team of 19 al-Qaeda operatives. There's a mountain of evidence for this:

u/goldflakes · 1 pointr/Libertarian

They didn't "come to America," but yes of course the conflict between the United States and the Islamic world started before the events you outlined. I'll outline the relevant points as summarily as I can. For brevity, I will include history only related to the United States and not broader Western civilization. The case of the United States is salient and representative.

History of Islam: Muhammad to 1776

Muhammad first began teaching among Pagan Arabs who were more or less friendly until he began to teach that there is only one God and all other religions' followers shall burn in hell. When they began to threaten him and his people, he fled to Mecca and Medina, subsequently taking over the western half of Saudi Arabia along with the eastern tip (Oman). Almost all secular scholars of the Qur'an agree that it is as much a political guidebook (how to run a society) as a religious text (how to be a good person). Upon his death in 632, his followers interpreted the book as they did, and a system of Caliphates began to rule the Islamic world. By 661, all of what we call the Middle East and northeastern Africa was under the Caliphate. By the 8th century, the Caliphate had extended to include land from Spain to Pakistan. This was unsustainable militarily (given few people liked being ruled under Islamic law), so it was pulled back. The Turkish peoples were to become the new military force of the Caliphate, and took Constantinople just before Columbus "found" the "New World." When the United States declared independence, Abdul Hamid I was sultan, with even Baghdad under his rule (that article makes him sound friendlier than he actually was -- he was compelled to sign treaties after military defeats).

Barbary Slaves and Pirating

Before the United States had first elected Washington as President, the Congress found itself at odds with the Caliphate controlled lands. At this time, the Muslim world was taking Europeans and Americans as slaves, estimates are that as many as 1.25 million slaves were taken from the Western world (source: Robert Davis). John Adams, America's London ambassador, was sent to the Tripoli ambassador to discuss the matter, and was met with a demand of money for various levels of peace. Terms were set for the release of slaves, short term peace, and even a price for long term peace. The United States argued that it was a new nation. If their military had previously quarreled with Europe, that was of no concern to the United States. Could not peace with a new nation be had?

When Jefferson took the Presidency in 1801, he was immediately met with a demand of $4,000,000 (adjusted for inflation but not %GDP or federal budget) to be paid to the Muslim lands. Jefferson demanded repeatedly to know by what right these demands were made. By what right did they capture Americans as slaves, seize her ships, take her property, and demand payment in exchange?

> The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners.

Thomas Jefferson to Congress and the State Department

Barbary Wars to Usama bin Laden

President Jefferson found himself in the fortunate position of having a capable Navy that he, ironically enough, had fought against funding before being elected. With it, he began the first conflict between the United States and the Caliphate. The second line of the Marine Anthem (To the shores of Tripoli) celebrates the result even today. Congress authorized Jefferson to use the full might of the United States Navy to suppress the military aggression, with permission to seize and destroy property as the Navy was able. The language was quite strong and general.

The modern Islamic revival that began in the 1970s has seen a large surge in the total Muslim population, which we must admit is in some sense responsible for the recent surge of the lower jihad as well (this being the military jihad as opposed to the higher jihad meaning an inner struggle). Al Qaeda's number one demand was restoration of the Caliphate. The crime for which America has been subject to the violence from the radical Islamists was committed after approval by the Saudi royal family to use American troops to free Kuwait from Iraq rather than using their own, limited resources and relying heavily on the local mujahidin. In other words, Usama bin Laden was angry with America because he thought that local insurgents could fight Saddam the same way they had in Afghanistan against the Soviets rather than relying on smart bombs to do the same. (He forgot, or perhaps never knew, that Afghanistan was liberated only through American assistance. People who assert the unsophisticated non-distinction between Al Qaeda and the Taliban forget this. America gave aid to the Taliban, not The Base.)

Also central to crimes committed by the United States in Bin Laden's mind was our admission that we had begun to support the right of East Timor to self determination of government. Here is one of his first speeches after the 2001 attacks.. Ctrl+f "east timor" to see that his complaint is that the Caliphate's maximum extent is no longer in effect, with the world recognizing that the military devastation committed by Indonesia was invalid.

Specific Points: Iran in WWII, The Taliban, Gulf War vs. bin Laden, and Diplomacy

So, yes, the Barbary wars happened before the Iranian coup. Keep in mind also that 1953 is also after 1945 when Nazi Germany surrendered. At that time, Iran was already under the full control of Britain and Russia (mostly the British), essentially a colony like India was. This invasion was necessary because Reza Shah was attempting to play neutral while supplying the Nazi war machine with crude oil necessary for its logistical world domination. "Iran" in Persian means "The Land of the Aryans," which Persia abruptly changed its name to in 1935, just as it was becoming friendly toward the Germans. After the war was over, Britain had a number of privately owned fields, purchased legally from the owners of the land. When Iran elected Mosaddegh to nationalize the oilfields, they did so illegally. Their country or not, the heart of libertarianism is the right to free exchange and free markets. Unless you agree that the United States can simply seize the property of any foreign corporation who operates in any way through the United States, you cannot support the right of anyone, anywhere to loot by law. The course of action taken by the West was perhaps morally wrong. But it was in response to a moral wrong, not the initiation of one. I find that very few internet historians know the history of Iran before 1953. This has always seemed odd to me -- where are you all getting your similarly edited information?

The military bases in Islamic lands were widely supported at the time by both governments and peoples. They still celebrate it as a national day of pride. Again, bin Laden considers this the great evil of America because he wanted the local mujahidin to fight Saddam rather than bringing in any Western aid. You may freely be against the Gulf War, but you cannot rationalize that the intervention was innately immoral since the United States determined that losing control of the Kuwait and Saudi oilfields would have been damaging to her interests. In other words, the United States did not initiate force but responded to the initiation of force upon a friend.

The United States used the Taliban to fight the Soviet Empire. I fail to see this as a moral evil.

The United States necessarily has diplomatic relations with all countries who are willing, including bad guys. Egyptians and Tunisians far and away have more warm feelings for the United States than ill-feelings. Only with sources such as Russia Today can you attempt to support the notion that we stood between these leaders and their people. The West was crucial to their overthrow, including freezing of their foreign assets.

This is the one that I have. I bought mine at Best Buy when I bought the Kindle, but the one on Amazon specifically says that it fits the keyboard.

u/adamsw216 · 1 pointr/kindle

I've been doing a lot of research on this since I got my Kindle keyboard recently.

I love the Oberon cases, but I like something a little more plain, plus those are rather expensive (even more than I actually paid for my Kindle).


So I was looking around on Etsy and I found the Beautiful Kindle 3 bookbindery case which I really love the look of. Plus since it's extremely rigid, it would offer good protection. On the other hand, it's still expensive, and I didn't really like the look of the birch wood when the case is open.


Then I found the Dodo Case which is made with a much sleeker looking bamboo and still maintains the whole "bound book" look. However, the price still kills me.


So despite everything, I ended up just getting the standard Amazon Kindle Case, and I figured I could save up and eventually get a Dodo case or Oberon case down the line.

u/aco620 · 1 pointr/pics

I got this one http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Leather-Updated-Design-Keyboard/dp/B004JXVOD6/ref=pd_cp_kinh_1. The Kindle has holes on the side designed to clip on to that middle piece. It fits in surprisingly well, and so far the strap hasn't broken and the Kindle's stayed scratch free. One's probably as good as the other though.

u/admiraljohn · 1 pointr/kindle

I had something similar to that for a time but I found the straps that hold it in the case to be kind of irritating. I wound up getting an Amazon Lighted Case in its place, but that's a bit above what you said you wanted to spend.

Amazon also makes a non-lighted case for the Kindle that goes for about $30... there were issues with it when it first came out with a short causing the Kindle to freeze and/or reboot, but from what I understand that's been corrected.

My wife, on the other hand, isn't a fan of the Amazon case and uses this one, which she loves.

And yes as he said if you're really short on cash, can opt for this one. Even this one was on sale for ~$49 a month or so ago, which was sweet.

But at current price, I would say the extra 40 dollars spent on PW2 is worth it.

Or maybe wait for few days more to see if PW2 goes on discount sale again? There are a lot of rumors flying around about a new Kindle, and September is the season for Kindle launches. But don't really think there can be any "must have" features if something new does get launched. And PW2 is quite matured already, unlike Paperwhite1 which was phased out in 2012/13.

I tried this one and the Paperwhite, and hated flipping pages by touch. This model has physical forward/ backward buttons on each side. The downside is that if you want to write something you have to navigate an on-screen keyboard with that 4-sided button in the lower middle. With one center-press per character. It's really the most inconvenient way to type this side of not having any fingers.

Like this: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/kindle/tequila/dp/KT-df-05._V166940136_.jpg

u/Dragoniel · 1 pointr/gadgets

There are no touchpads on e-readers, unless for some random reason you buy a touch-screen e-reader. I'm currently using this, for example.

Two buttons - "page forward" and "page back" is all that you really need, and they are mirrored on both sides of the device.

I have the Kindle 4 and it's available for $69 with free shipping! A little over half the price of the newest version. The 4's main drawback is that you need to use a lamp if you read in the dark - but it's very functional, light, and so easy to use. Lovelovelove.

But if you have access to a library and it's not a huge inconvenience for you to go there, you don't really need a Kindle. It's more of a thing for remote locations, constant travel type life.

I have a Nook & with it you can import pdfs & books bought through GooglePlay anyway. The Kindle doesn't allow that to the best of my knowledge. Reason I went Nook.

You wouldn't have to go with the version that has internet & that. I have the simplest Nook that only allows you to buy books & read books with the device. My nook although I bought mine at Target. The Kindle I'm guessing is comparable

EDIT: The Nook seems to have 1 free book every Friday also. No clue if there's a similar offer for Kindle users.

u/Color_blinded · 1 pointr/mylittlepony

I did a lot of research before settling on what e-reader to get.
There are three good brands of e-readers out there; the Kindle (Amazon), The Nook (Barnes and Nobles), and the Kobo.

I personally believe that the Kindle is the best because it has a slightly larger display and are also cheaper than their competitors counterparts if you get the ad supported ones, which really aren't intrusive or annoying at all (well, except for the brief time it kept displaying ads for Twilight when the last movie was released), and even helped me find good deal on a leather case for my kindle. Plus they have excellent customer service from my experience.
The only downsides that I've encountered is that the kindle only supports a very limited number of book formats. However, with the Calibre program (see Facedeers post in this thread) that becomes a non-issue. And their 3g internet kindles no longer allow you to actually browse the internet, which kind of irked me a bit (so don't bother getting the 3g versions of kindle).
Also the one with a keyboard just isn't worth it because of the extra size and weight.

That essentially narrows it down to two options: the standard Kindle, or the Kindle Paperwhite. If you are on a budget, get the normal kindle. However the Paperwhite is definitely worth the extra $50, as it not only has a better display, is a touchscreen, has a backlight (very useful), the battery lasts twice as long, and the display has less glare than the normal kindle (they all say they have no glare, but that's false).

Hey, It's you again!

I was hoping that you would find a way to make the case for the Companion 2 now that it has been announced, and here you are, not 2 days later.

I have looked into your case more deeply and if you are taking suggestions, I might hazard a few for you.

  1. Is there anyway to make the parts of the case that affixes to the actual unit more secure? I was thinking along the lines of a form fitting hardbody aspect that we could clip the bezel into, as in this case for the kindle paperwhite (with considerations for ports and what not)

  2. Perhaps a magnetic aspect and case for the wacom keyboard to accompany and affix to the original flipsteady?

    Honestly for me, extra weight isn't as much of a consideration as much as form fitting protection, unified form, and your brilliant stand design.

    Thanks for making such a great product. I'm sorry if my suggestions overreach your production capabilities, I'm not sure what they are precisely.

u/IpumplikeaMachine · 1 pointr/redpillbooks

suggestion: i am the same, i can't read pdfs, but honestly if you want to read more, and better this is what you do, you get a kindle, honestly you wont regret ever buying one, mainly because you can read technically anything from pdfs, to txt, files to pretty much anything out there, also download a sofware called caliber for your computer man, this sofware allows you to convert book file to readable files on kindle, like, pdfs, epubs, and other formats into a azw or mobi files, aka the best versions book files to read on a kindle.

I recommend buying a kindle right now because of the black friday special man, FUCK!! even make a sticked post to that offers, because is so much better to buy really right at this second, i personally have the 'shittiest version' of a kindle which is a paper white with no backlight built in, which helps my eyes and not fuck up my sleep later, which is bomb because with a kindle you can put any pdfs in there and read them like they were books, instead of that uncomfortable reading on a screen, i undertand m8 been there done that. anything is technically a tablet, aka the fucking fire hd, or whatever and really open the possibility for me to be a chump and instead of actually reading books, aka the primary purpose of the kindle device, they make me prone to spend my time in facebook and watch porn which entirely defeats the purpose, MAKE IT HAPPEN DUDE

the special offer is probably like fucking 50 bucks, or 70 bucks if you don't want those fucking annoying ads,(for the cheapest kindle aka what i got and recommend),and is 50 bucks even with a 2 year guarantee, which is bomb!!, i know i am being a fucking fanatic of a kindle right now and giving amazon a fallatio but really you can't go wrong buying one of those fuckers, fuck even a 30 dollar kindle, old version aka a kindle touch, will do, lets make this happen dude. I promise you wont regret the purchase of a kindle, because although its technically 50 bucks right now, or a black friday special/cyber monday,

JUST checked it, and the offer is over SORRY BUD, but DON't DREAD!!! even at its regular price 79 plus tax about, 100 buck with guarantee and everything, which is by the way the price i paid when i didn't know they were going to have a black friday special and buying it pre-black friday, so even if you buy it at regular price of about 100 bucks, with ads, which can be made more clearly but not entirely get rid of those fucking ads if you follow, this video and get semi rid of those shit ads, anyaway i know you missed the deal BUT even then is still a good deal because say you buy the cheapest version of the kindle, the paper white, by downloading, aka stealing i mean permanently borrowing a pdf, the content itself worth about ranging from 10-17 dollars, in about 5-10 pdfs you permanently keep, and read you technically keep your money in in reading pdfs, which you permanently borrowed from the internet, in about ten to five, pdfs or ^^orbooksyoudidn'tpaidfor the kindle would of paid with itself no problem, in other words is an investment on you, because you want knowledge to make yourself better person, and that in itself is fucking priceless man, trust me, Okay if you don't believe me that a kindle is a good purchase, i will give you permission to bitchslap me and ban me or whatever you want man, i don't speak right out of my ass specially on recommending shit, and i have provided enough evidence for that if i say so myself, and even if you feel guilt from toreenting or stealing books, even just from the free legal kindle books from /r/FreeEBOOKS itself you get pretty good books that in it of itself you are very well set off, and the kindle pays for itself, in around ten books read flat, make it happen SE17!! i swear of god.

The first thing on my wishlist that I'd really like is this aromatherapy inhaler! I've recently come across a lot of stress in my life, and I've heard these are amazing at helping minimize that.

I also have a kindle on my lists, because I spend so much money on books and I'm running out of places to put them, so it'd be nice to be able to carry this around. I bought one for my mom for Christmas last year, and she loves it.

The final thing on my lists that I really want, is this book safe! I have over 300 books, so having a book safe makes a lot of sense for me. It'll be able to hide in plain site, and as an added bonus, this particular one is one of my favorite books that I collect separately!

Here is a price tracker on the current Paperwhite. It drops every so often. The current $90 price isn't shown because it's not a price change, but a one time use discount. The current base model Kindle doesn't really have a price history as it just came out, so here is the previous one just for reference.

As far as Paperwhite vs base model goes, you have to think of your use case. Like I read more at night and want to have some manga style stuff on it, so the built in light and higher resolution are big pluses. If the added features of the Paperwhite are things that you want and believe are worth the step up in price, I would save up until the next sale. You might also be able to borrow an ereader from somewhere in the mean time. I think colleges library rents them out in two week intervals, maybe your public library offers something similar? Most lend out ebooks now too.

Extended period of time? A Kindle is perfect! Maybe there's a disconnect here, I'm not talking about a Kindle Fire (Another tablet) I'm talking about a Paperwhite . The screen responds wayyyy too slowly to browse the internet or distract yourself with anything. It really limits you to just reading a book. Except you can read several books.

You don't "need" them. Like I said, there's a dozen ways to implement reviews, none of them is wrong. But for example.

https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5d345edc-2e2d-4a9c-b73b-d53956dc458d?SRC=VSIDE (here comes the special pleading I feel like)

Newegg.com manufacturer responses in their reviews as well.

Amazon.com reviews are full on discussion threads, so other users and devs can respond to them. (So I'm not sure what you're on about claiming otherwise)

http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Paperwhite-6-Inch-4GB-eReader/dp/B00OQVZDJM/ref=pd_cp_400_1

You have to understand from my point of view you're trying to argue that dev's should not be able to utilize reviews to communicate with customers. I'll agree that it isn't strictly necessary, that it doesn't have to be implemented on every site's review scheme. I'm not arguing for that anyway. But I am saying that sites that choose to allow communication through reviews aren't wrong for doing so. It's a perfectly valid implementation. I am saying your arguments that sites that do allow for communication through reviews should not are bogus. It's not wrong to implement reviews how you are suggesting. It's also not wrong to do them completely differently if that best suits your users and your community. I am suggesting that your feelings and opinions aren't universal. And plenty of very large and wildly successful companies do things very differently than you suggest and it's not an impediment to their success.

Em 09/03/17 o Supremo Tribunal Federal (aquele mesmo, do nosso querido Gilmar Mendes) decidiu que E-books e E-Readers deveriam ser livres de impostos.

Desde então tenho monitorado o preço dos E-Readers, e adivinha só: tirando uma eventuais promoções, o preço tem se mantido o mesmo a pelo menos 6 meses.

Posso estar enganado, pois não sei como funciona isso de STF isentando imposto e se seu efeito é imediato, porém não dúvido nada que aquilo que era imposto foi convertido para lucro.

Edit: Pesquisei o preço de um Kindle nos EUA e me surpreendi com o fato de que lá ele custa $119,99 doláres o que em uma conversão direta via Google dá R$387,00.

I like the Kindle Paperwhite- same as the Nook Glowlight, but you can adjust the brightness of the light, which I couldn't do with my Nook. I love the interface and borrow a lot of eBooks from the library, which I find easier to do with my Kindle than my Nook. https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Paperwhite-6-Inch-4GB-eReader/dp/B00OQVZDJM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486490196&sr=8-1&keywords=kindle+paperwhite Unfortunately, it's only 6" but you can adjust text size to smaller or larger.

I was looking at this Kindle. Is this the one you have?

A few of my friends are telling me to get a tablet and/or Nook but I really like the idea of what a Kindle does and gives the user.

u/Hellmark · 1 pointr/ebooks

Ok, since you're a newbie to this stuff, I'll lay things out as best as I can.

If eye strain is a concern, go with eInk instead of LCD. You can get displays that have lighting built in (technically no backlit, but the average person has no clue about the technical differences between backlit, sidelit, and frontlit if the lighting is built into the display itself), but in any scenario where you don't need lighting for paper, you won't need it for eInk.

One reason I also recommend eInk over LCD, is that with a tablet you are too easily distracted by games, social media, and other things that take you out of reading. eReaders with eInk are typically dedicated devices that remove most distractions.

You won't get something that fully supports everything due to DRM. Amazon has their own proprietary form of DRM wrapped around the Mobi file format, and nearly everyone else uses ePub with Adobe ADEPT DRM. Apple uses ePub, but they have their own DRM that is proprietary, and just a pain in the butt (seriously, iBooks sucks). Now, Amazon has stipulations that restrict companies from supporting stuff for Kindle and any other DRM type, so you will find that things falls into the official Kindle camp, and everyone else with Adobe ADEPT. This is the one benefit to using an tablet with a LCD screen, because then you can run the Kindle app along side what ever you want for handling ePub (lots of different apps utilize the Adobe ADEPT toolkit).

Next, PDF is NOT an ebook format. It is a page layout format. You may wonder what the difference is, and that comes up where it makes it a pain to have a pleasantly viewable file if your display is smaller than what the file was designed for. This means zooming in and scrolling around a lot. Newer versions of the PDF format does support reflowable text, but it is extremely rare to see any files that actually make use of it. Seriously, avoid PDFs if you want to use a portable device. Nearly everything supports PDFs, but it is just not an enjoyable experience.

As I said before, you will have proper ebooks cater to the two different camps, with Mobi or azw files for Kindles, or ePubs for everyone else. If they are DRM free files, you can easily convert between the two formats using Calibre. PDFs also suck because they rarely can convert to another format cleanly. Seriously, use Calibre to help manage your ebook library. It is an awesome free, open source, and cross platform tool that supports nearly every eReader device out there.

Now, I am going to state this right now, because some people often cause confusion, but Calibre does not do much with DRM encumbered files on its own. It will organize them, and transfer them to your device, but you cannot convert them. There are third party plugins that remove the DRM automatically upon import, but that is something we cannot openly discuss here. It is against the rules, because publishers often monitor open forums, and will start issuing DMCA claims.

Ok, with everything said, it comes down to choice. If you want to just stay in one ecosystem and buy from one place that likely has everything, I'd suggest a Kindle Paperwhite. If DRM or third party ebook purchases are a concern, I'd recommend going with an ePub friendly reader, such as the B&N Nook Glowlight Plus, or one of the Kobo Aura readers.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me, and I can help as best as I can.

A refurbished as-new Paperwhite 3 from Amazon with full 1 year (same as new) warranty for $84.99 (as of today) instead of $119.99 for a new one

This would save you $35.00, enough to buy a nice case with about $20 left over

They also sell very good used ones for about $77.00 with NO warranty but have a 30 day return policy

I have had great luck with the used ones, but if you want one with a warranty, the refurb is the way to go

Hope that helps

When you go to buy a Kindle on Amazon's site, the "Add to cart" button is a "Customise and add to cart" button. Click on that, and it takes you to this page, where you can choose to buy a Kindle with or without special offers. There's even a "Learn more" link that summons a pop-up that explicitly explains what pop-ups are. Even if you mistakenly buy a Kindle with special offers, you can get them removed later and it won't have cost you any more than if you had bought the non-offers version to start with. It's not a hidden add-on cost – if you want to view ads, those ads will subsidise the cost of the Kindle.

Not knowing you or your gf or your price range, it will be kind of difficult to make perfect suggestions, but I'll give you a few that I have gotten mine, or she has gotten me that worked out to be really good:

Serious stuff:

Kindle - You say she is a genius, so maybe she likes to spend free time reading. I never thought I'd use a Kindle until I got one, and now I use it daily. It's portable, easy on the eyes, and gives her the chance to read anything she wants.

A Puzzle - I've always enjoyed doing puzzles in my free time but as I grew older I lost time to do them. My girlfriend got me one last Christmas, and we have been doing them together ever since. They are great when one of you want to watch a movie or TV that the other may not be as interested in. The other person can relax and do a puzzle, but you are still spending time together. We normally pick one out together that we really like, then glue it together when we finish it. Our plan is to eventually frame them and put them up in our office.


Less serious:

Body Pillow - I've had friends give this to their SO's and the reaction is always hilarious. For the girlfriend who "has to have you there" to sleep comfortably.


I'll leave it to those for now. I'm not much of a cook, outdoorsy person, or crafty so my suggestions for those would be lacking. Good luck, but just remember no matter what you get her, she'll love it. Just...make sure you actually get her something. It's not just the thought that counts.
