I use a Kindle, but never bought a single book from them. I mostly use their transfer method for convenience instead of looking for a cable. As for books, I downloaded a few gigs of ebooks in html/RTF/doc format well before e-ink was invented, and use those with calibre to convert to epub. Pdfs are rather suboptimal for ebooks.

Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer’s grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.

But you just told the computer to ignore case…

Wait, in the last thread it was a bank

But it’s also about the MacBook – the series sold 10 years ago had replaceable HDDs and memory units, I upgraded the disk twice in the lifetime and fixed the disk cable three of four times (they had a funny design so that you had to break the cable several times to fit its place neatly). The current laptops are sold with every component glued/soldered to place, and this is getting a trend everywhere. It probably started with phone batteries: my first phone (Ericson GA628 with an exchangeable front panel!) had a battery you could replace in two seconds, now even 2500-3000EUR laptops are considered single-use throwaway items, it’s insane.
