Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle. Last Updated ( Saturday, 28 February 2009 )

I’ve been back to Paris several times, of course, but this time seems the oddest because many of my old bus routes have been discontinued and some of my favorite stores are gone. (Bouchara next to Galeries Lafayette is gone—soon to be another branch of H&M!) The #84 bus, which ran from right to left bank (and vice versa, bien sur) with a roll past Madeleine and place Concord, is now fini. Last Updated ( Saturday, 21 February 2009 )

So, recession, depression, economic crunch or crisis, whatever you want to call it, those high-end ways of entertaining ourselves need to be cut in half or put on the shelf for the time being. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. For less than the price of one entree at a fancy restaurant, adults can play these games with other adults, or with their kids, and get back to the real point in life—having fun. Plus, these games can be played again and again. That foie gras you had last night can only live on in your memory. Last Updated ( Saturday, 27 December 2008 )

It's not that I think all things French are the best in the world.  I think the best things in the world are, uh, the best things and they come from all over. In fact, that's why I wrote a book about it—Where to Buy the Best of Everything.
