I am just amazed by the usefulness of the Kindle. I like to read and with Kindle in hand I am going to do that more often. There are two types of gadgets, one which just tries to create a need when there is none, and another which identifies the existing need and serves it so well that it becomes a delightful experience. Amazon’s Kindle lies in the later category. Some amazing features include:

- Text to speech.
- No glare.
- The e-ink or whatever they call it makes you forget you are not reading an actual paper book.
- The capability to store hundreds of book in this little gadget without worrying about storage or wasting paper.
- Books delivered in seconds.
- Newspapers, periodicals.
- A vast selection of free books.
- Availability of samples for almost every book.
- Portability.
- Amazing customer support.

Its a must have item for someone who likes to read.

KitchenAid Silicone Spatula Scraper

When my doctor told me last fall that I was obese (and I knew I needed to lose weight, but obese??), I was shocked. I’m 6′ and at the time weighed in at about 245. That’s overweight, not obese. I was wrong, it is obese. But that was the best thing I could have been told. I had been saying for years I wanted to get my weight back down, and hearing the O word directed at me, made me decide to do it.

One of the first things I did was to get into a weight loss program, including going to group meetings. The first day we were given literature and the neatest little tool – a pedometer. Well, the pedometer was not a really good one, and I never really trusted it. But, the basic concept was working. I saw how little I was walking. I work in an office, so I don’t get around much, but I had no idea I was so sedentary.

I decided that, since walking is a really good way to burn calories, and it’s good cardiovascular exercise, that I wanted a better pedometer. And then, to speed up the decision, I somehow managed to lose the one I was given. And then I ordered my Omron HJ-112. I figured with all the excellent reviews, this had to be a great device.

I’ve had it now for a week, and I love it. I like that it keeps a week’s worth of data. It has been very accurate as to the number of steps. My first one, after walking 50 steps was off as much as 10%. If I tried to adjust the sensitivity, I couldn’t get it any closer than 10%. My HJ-112 counts 50 steps when I walk 50. The most steps I’ve confirmed with a count were 75, and it was dead on.

I read reviews that said when driving, it can add steps. Well, that may be. I did pick up 6 steps on my drive to work one day, but I hit a couple of pot holes that may have done the trick. I also ride a Harley Davidson, and riding it to work one day, no extra steps were counted. I avoided pot holes on that trip. The next time I drove, I took the ped off my belt, set it on my lap, and no extra steps. To be honest, I’m no

This book should be called Conversations with the god of this world” If ever there was the same old bombast by the adversary of the One True God-This is it. Don’t waste your time. Read the first 3 chapters of the book of Genesis and you’ll get the idea.

This pan is a great value. I have used it over and over. No complaints.
KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials Brushed

This has the usual KitchenAid high quality we’ve come to expect. Sure, the specs were given, but without getting out a ruler or tape measure I wasn’t able to correctly picture the size of this mixer in my mind. It is quite large, especially when compared to the Braun I was replacing, making the KitcheAide a bit large and “unwieldy” to use. It surely does the job, and the variable speeds are great. It’s a fine product!

I bought this skillet in mid-2007 because its size would be perfect for cooking bacon and pancakes. I liked the shape of the skillet and the comfortable handle (still do). I always use a low to medium flame on the gas range which makes cooking bacon or pancakes somewhat time-consuming. Nevertheless, after using the skillet for a few months, it warped in the middle, which caused uneven cooking. Then a few months later it lost its non-stick quality, and had to be oiled before every use. This was hard to understand because the skillet was always hand washed, never scoured, never used metal tools (even though the literature said this was okay) or put in the dishwasher. This was my second disappointing go-round with non-stick skillets and I learned a lesson. Though it is more expensive, stay with good stainless steel — Cuisinart multi-clad is a great choice.

KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials Hard

I have used MS Office for years, but don’t need all the extras that come with the full edition of Office. Home and Student is perfect for most home users and students. So far I can’t come up with any negatives.
KitchenAid KSRS25RVBL Refrigerator

As of today I have not completed this book. So far I have been very disappointed. It is not for children to read as it is so vulgar it disgust me. I am no prude but it seems no sentence is complete with out repeated curse words. Louise
KitchenAid KEBK101SSS

Yup. This holder does the job. But not really needed as units such as the 765 etc can nicely mount on the window of the car. Otherwise, this holder does an excellent job. I recommend it.
