Those who already bought the app will get this (and any future updates) free; those [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s an updated set of instructions that will let you easily get free ebooks&#8211;from Google and from Gutenberg. _______________ I posted a few days ago about taking my Kindle on the road, lamenting that the device didn’t read epub files, the [...]]]></description>

Most are waiting for a device that does more than read books. And a lot of people feel that when the prices drop to around $200, that’s when they’ll jump on this e-reader bandwagon.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blogging from the road is pretty challenging when you can&#8217;t find internet. The last three places we&#8217;ve stayed have promised wireless internet, which in practice meant that if you were at a certain place at a certain time (the stairway of one place, the bar of another) you MIGHT get a weak signal. And we&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

On Friday afternoon, we sat at a table under the eaves at a little soda (a modest restaurant or cafe) in La Fortuna, a muddy one-horse town that is also the tourist epicenter for all things Arenal-esque, from river rafting to volcano-spotting (it hasn’t shown its sloped [...]]]></description>

What pushed me in that direction was stacking up all the books—guidebooks, reference, and pleasure reading—I wanted to take with me. It was one tall stack, and would have [...]]]></description>
