Best. Book. Ever.
It should win awards.
The character Kindle is literally me, he's so funny. I love when he said how to set up my kindle. I laughed too hard I almost broke my kindle.
User Guide was ok too, but she wasn't as funny.
The romance between the two resulted in a well functioning Kindle. It was great.

Extrem starkes Werk..
Ernsthaft: ordentlich gemacht, aber eigentlich überflüssig, da das Gerät fast selbsterklärend ist.

Seriously? I'm rating a user guide? Ha.
Sorry. I'm just being goofy, but I did just read this and it was easy to understand and full of helpful tips.
I highly recommend it to anyone who owns a Kindle. :-D

Sex was fine but the rest was boring. I've had such an amazing experience with the plot lines and the worldbuilding was kinda heavy. If you're looking for something to distract you from the real world and get in another place for adventures, check out this book.

They should tell you how to clean the screen but they don't. Other than that, it was ok.

Bring him to his knees by musyc - this was sooo long but so sweet. I laughed a lot and it was a well done fic. It’s not like top favourites level but still really good, I’d give it a solid 4.27 🌟
Indelible Ink by AccioMjolnr - the follow up to until the ink runs dry, so sweet I can't believe they're finally together
Inkling by AccioMjolnr - I SQUEALED their letters to each other at work?! just like old times

Useful guide
This is a user friendly guide which could be used by any user very easily to operate the Kindle. It covers all features and functions of Kindle. I find this as a very useful guide for getting maximum benefit of the device.

Something I value highly on my book shelf as it's a true masterpiece... I'm only kidding. My children got hold of my Kindle and read it through for me, but because it's such an out of context line on my profile page I will keep it there.

October 26, 2019Well friends, CJ wrote one hell of a book. And I need MORE.

I’m using this placeholder as a stand-in for “The Strange Disappearance of Mr. Buxton-Smythe� by P. G. Wodehouse since it’s not available here on ŷ but I really wanted to review it. 😄
I just finished this short story while on a plane trip, and my goodness, it was hysterical. I confess that I had high expectations for this short story because 1) it was a Sherlock Holmes parody and pastiche (and I’m obviously very picky about pastiches); 2) it was written by the inimitable P. G. Wodehouse, who wrote the Jeeves books; and 3) I’m not huge on SH parodies since they’re essentially making fun of the Holmes stories (which I don’t mind, but they must be done tastefully).
I figured, however, that if it was P. G. Wodehouse (who was apparently a massive fan of the SH books) writing this, then it couldn’t be that bad. I was right; in fact, it was brilliant. I couldn’t stop laughing. The writing style was indeed Doylean (enough to rival popular pasticheurs!), and the humor was tasteful and well placed with a perfect Wodehousian touch.
I think the key to making good parodies of something is that the humor stays geared towards appreciators of the content. Instead of overusing terms or phrases like “elementary, my dear Watson� and doing the natural “I deduced that _____ was _____ because of _____� and then leaving it there, Wodehouse knew these stories, so he also knew what more obscure terms Conan Doyle was fond of. Any Sherlockian enjoyer would appreciate this touch. Some examples:
� “I will begin at the beginning�
� “the peculiar methods of my friend�
� “[Random person they see in the window] is coming here. That, I think, is his knock at the door.�
� “tut, tut, my dear sir, these are trifles�
� closed eyes and touching fingertips
� Holmes (Burdock Rose) telling Watson (Dr. Wotsing) to look up something in his index (with a HILARIOUS twist 🤣)
� the client explaining the case in a story-like manner
� “this appears to be a pretty little problem�
� referencing the “twisting theories to suit facts� quote but having Wotsing mention it 😂 (and Rose subsequently saying, “Didn’t I make a remark very like that to you once?� 🤣)
� “he did not speak again until we had reached our lodgings�
� and even the structure of the story, especially beginning with a dialogue between Holmes and Watson (or, in this case, Rose and Wotsing) in 221B
The plot is essentially that Wotsing started out much like the astonished Watson we all know and love, except that now that he has known Rose and his methods for so long, he has started to supersede Rose in deductive knowledge and intelligence. 🤣 Now he is the one solving the case (to Rose’s disgruntlement, which he communicates in the line, “Wotsing, in a household of two I am inclined to think that one detective is ample, a pair excessive�).
Hilariously enough, I actually find these characters just different enough that I want to write about them! 😆 In fact, I am not taking much of a liberty to say that this was infinitely better and more hilarious than Conan Doyle’s own disgrace to the Canon, “How Watson Learned the Trick.� Stick to mystery, dude. Wodehouse has you covered as far as comedy goes. 😉
Overall, excellently done. I am beginning to see that anything from Wodehouse is pure comedy gold. Most importantly, however, I appreciate that the parody was tasteful, unique, and not demeaning. Indeed, it had references that only SH readers would understand. (The index was my favorite part; you’ll love it too. 😆)
As always, Wodehouse’s diction and word choice are immaculate. Just like in the Jeeves books, he knows the rules of English, bends them, and molds them into silly-putty without ever breaking them. He knows when to use modern slang and when to be posh. Even Stephen Fry (who played Jeeves) said words much to that effect on video while holding his own copy of a Jeeves book.
Cheers to P. G. Wodehouse, the man whom I deem as the best literary humorist of the 20th century. 🙌🏻

Placeholder for NLTM (exclusive bonus chapters)
I need a full length novel about Lilith and Ross. They’re giving Liz and Wes but in an alternate reality.

The Kindle User's Guide was included with my Kindle. I have the 2014 7th Generation with touch one. This guide is great for someone who hasn't ever owned a Kindle before. I learned how all of the different features work and it includes a section on what to do if you get the Kindle wet, which I hopefully won't need at some point. I would recommend this to new Kindle users and to anyone who wants to brush up on their Kindle knowledge.

It did not answer the questions I needed to ask. I find it difficult to find the book I have chosen and which I 'm told I can start reading immediately . Some diagrams might help. I had to consult a neighbour when the words became smaller and smaller so that I found them difficult to read.

Ace on wattpad by xxdailydolanxx
I cried so much in the last chapters. I didn’t really like the pregnancy, but the end made up for it. I don’t remember the last time I cried this much about a book. I love you Ace.

Ver instructive, but I think that the vidoes of people using the Kindles are a lot betterwhen you want to learn how to use it.

This is my 8th or 9th Kindle, but the first four or so were from Year One, when either the screen, or the controls went out quite often (one time may have involved proximity with a powerful magnet, but Amazon replaced it regardless).
According to records, I got a Kindle in May, 2014 which lasted until Dec, 2017, when I absent-mindedly left it on the roof of my car while I was getting gas (and late for a concert), and I drove off, and never saw it again.
Well, my next trusty Kindle lasted from Dec. 2017 until last week, when I was running errands, listening to podcasts, putting on a face mask, buying berries, the whole nine yards.
In other words, I'm an idiot who loses his Kindle every three years, give or take a few months.
And, yes, there are books I have been reading since I first got a Kindle. I am at the 84% mark in .
I am 66% done with .
Get back to me in 2023. To tell the truth, I really used this Kindle to the max. It seemed like more than three years.

Lack of plot and character background is apparent. Needless to say, this book is B A D . The sequel was much better than this mess. This book was a stain on Amazon'z reputation that will take many years to clean off
