KindleBoards on thekindlechronicles podcast

[LenEdgerly]

Harvey, I just uploaded Episode 78 of the podcast with our conversation at CES. Seems like long ago and far away, but I enjoyed spending time with you again as I put the show together tonight, with 11 minutes to spare ahead of my self-imposed but totally obsessive midnight deadline.
Cheers, Len

Awesome Len, I'm downloading it now, thanks for taking the time to keep all of us Kindlers well-informed. Hope to see you continue posting around here again... =)

[Harvey]

Thank you, Len! I split this out into its own thread. It was great to talk with you. Thanks for featuring us in your podcast!

I'm a big fan of The Kindle Chronicles podcast and very much enjoyed your insights, Harvey, in your interview from CES with Len Edgerly. I'm an early K1 adopter and owner.

When you talked about the demo you received from BEbooks and mentioned the manufacturer of the display, Wacom, you reminded me of a wonderful, if very dated, piece of hardware we still own made by Wacom. Attached to our vintage 1996 Micron desktop running Windows 95a is an 8x10 Wacom graphics tablet. It's touch sensitive stylus mated with the graphics program Painter4 produces wonderful works of art when wielded by an artist and hours of entertainment in the hands of a klutz. My wife is an artist and I would be the klutz.

My wife was completely computer phobic until I purchased Painter4 and the Wacom graphics tablet and encouraged her to try it. She was hooked immediately and produced hundreds of delightful works of art using the rich set of tools provided by Painter4.

Now, with the evolution of technology, when we are at our winter vacation home and away from that dinosaur desktop she is able to indulge her artistic impulses by finger painting on an IPod Touch with the DoodleBuddy app (a similar although obviously much more limited program and hardware combo than Painter4 and Wacom).

So, I guess my point is that if Wacom has done something with an e-reader display that impressed you I'm not at all surprised.

Unfortunately, it also reminds me that for the cost of that 1996 computer setup I could now buy about 14 Kindles with the upscale Cole Haan leather covers that Len likes.

Your interview also reminded me to click more often on my Kindleboards bookmark which I plan to do.

Listening to the KC is my Saturday morning ritual while I prepare and eat breakfast. It was a great interview (amongst other great Kindle / e-reader news). Nice to hear Harvey's voice talk about our wonderful community. I'm proud to be a member!

I just finished listening to the interview. Great Job Harvey. Also wanted to say Thank You to Harvey and all the moderators. You do a wonderful job keeping the Kindleboards a great community to be a member of.

That's some interesting history about Wacom... sounds like a company with a rich past as well as a lively future. Thanks, Steve!

I love Len Edgerly's weekly podcast and have been on it several times.  Harvey's interview was excellent as he really has his pulse on the Kindle owners.  It's boards like this and podcasts like Len's that make this such a great hobby- because that really is what this is.  Great reading, great sharing of books and ideas- a reading community.

Keep it up fellow kindlers!!

Hi Everyone:

Len has written a great article called "How I learned to love the Kindle and start a podcast" and I just published it at e-readerfeeder.com http://bit.ly/bA5Qfv. I learned quite a bit about how Kindle users can receive the Kindle Chronicles podcast and get podcasts from other devices.  I have to thank Len again for finding the time to write and send me this well written piece.
