Kensington 7-in-1 Media Reader for ExpressCard slot

The black box

Advantages: Simple, effective, small, many more
Disadvantages: Not as cheap as others

***** Newlink USB 2.0 7 in 1 Card Reader/Writer ***** I'm not great with technology - I can do things but it has to be simple, consistent and woe betide the electrical object should it break down. Luckily this is the easiest piece of equipment so I'll continue to love it. ***** What's it do? ***** This is a device that you plug into your usb port in your computer. You then place your memory card/s into the designated slot on the Newlink reader and hey presto your memory card can then be read by your computer. There's no messing about loading software to recognise each different card or device since you're using the same one each time. Let me explain: I've got a sony ericsson phone with a usb connection - should I want to transfer photos from that I've to connect and reload the software which seems to take forever. Instead ...

Review of Newlink USB 2.0 7 in 1 Card Reader/Writer

Marymoose reads "The Reader"

Advantages: A different take on the Holocaust, thoroughly thought-provoking!
Disadvantages: Could have been longer...

............................................................................................................ Intro Whilst perusing the charity book list at work (books for 25p) I came across ?The Reader?, and being vaguely aware that it had recently been made into a film and that it had issues surrounding the Holocaust in it I was quick to part with my 25p before someone else got it! I haven?t been reading much this year, choosing instead to stare out of the train window at sheep. However, from the moment I picked up this book I was hooked and it was over before I knew it (well, a day and a bit later technically). This is a difficult book to review since I don?t want to give away too much of the plot, I have read reviews which give away something quite major which we don?t find out until well into the story (although I ...

Review of The Reader - Bernhard Schlink

Sony e reader

Advantages: lightweight
Disadvantages: not cheap

**** Sony E Reader **** I really enjoy reading but somehow my suitcase always ends up really heavy so when i saw that my local Waterstones had some in stock i decided to purchase one.At 199 quid its not cheap but i felt i could easily spend that on buying the books alone. **What is it?** Basically it is an electronic device that you can store books on.The memory size you get with it holds up to 160 books but there is also slots for you to add extra memory if needed,not that you would need it. **Pros** One of the best things about this is that you do not have to carry loads of books around with you. Books are cheaper on the ereader than they are to buy normally and when you buy the ereader from Waterstones it comes with 100 classic books so if you are like me and would read these anyway the ereader pays for itself. It can ...
