The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

I received one yesterday for my birthday from my awesome wife.  Needless to say, my original is now in her hands.  The K2 is different, and takes a little getting used to, but it's great.  Is there any way to get the time to pop up like I did with the original (alt-T)?

Congratulations and Happy Birthday. 
When you push the menu button the time pops up. 
Push menu again, or the back button, and the menu and time disappear.
The K2 is a bit different, and I also had to get used to it.

Thanks for the reply!  I ordered another Oberon cover last night for it.  Looking forward to getting that as well, I won't take it out of the house without a cover.

Happy Birthday!

It won't take too long to get used to the  K2i, I did not like it at first, but after a bit, think I would not go back.  There are things that I'd like to combine tho.
