Yale, that's wonderful. My books downloaded quite frequently, but the GOOD news is they are less frequent now. Why is that good news. It means that we are offering the troops a wide variety and choice and they are shopping - which is what we want them to do.

Educating the troops, that's really something they need BAD. |

As a veteran and spouse of a veteran, I take issue with that remark. . . .our all volunteer force is generally very well educated. . . . .I think you meant this to be funny, but it wasn't.

Not sure what was intended by that comment. I found it offensive, especially since my comment was highlighting that the program is working well and providing what our brave men and women need (a wide selection of reading). Unfortunately, this thread is not one of them debatin' threads. If anyone wants to disparage our brave troops and veterans (of which I am one), I suggest you post your opinions on some other thread or else I'm sure that you'll get more from the moderators than one of Betsy's hats.
Peace.

Well, I heard from the USS Bonhomme Richard overnight. Their commander feels that their email system is sufficient enough to handle Operation eBook Drop. He has sent out an email to his crew to see how many sailors are interested and will get back to me. This would be the first time we've adopted an Aircraft Carrier. I encourage you to pop over to the USS Bonhomme Richard's Faceboo fanclub and join. (The have nearly 7,000 fans) Wow http://www.facebook.com/ussbhr?v=wall Ed Patterson |

Although Ed, Belle, Gertie, Karen and a many authors all try to make it interesting, the Operation eBook Drop web site is really boring. I see troops lurking there all the time but they never post. Perhaps we could generate some troop involvement if some KindleBoards members could drop in and post a one line hello or good morning. I know that we have a fair number of vets here and some active duty members who might relate to the Military Group members. |

I've been remiss and mean to get my blog more spicy and regulated . . .and will make an effort. This week I've been tied up with oh so many things, including The Indie Spotlight with my cohort Greg Banks. Jeff's is right. Please, everyone visit and yak it up on the operation ebook drop forum.

Still waiting for the first requests from the USS Bonhomme Richard - but they may be heading for Haiti.
