I have been playing with the iPod Touch a bunch for the last little while. I paid about $10 for a textfile reader app called Bookshelf, and it does pretty good, but it still has a way to go. Occasionally the app just shuts down. No idea why. There is a desktop app that you use to get the textfiles onto the iPod that works well for me. I use it still, but am looking at more text readers.Anyway, I started playing with another called Stanza - at first I just downloaded things from the online library, but I am now using the desktop app to send other files to the iPod. I like! It's also free at the moment. There seem to be hints that eventually there will be a non-beta release that might cost a few $$$ - fine by me - I'd pay for it now. Supposedly, it will do MANY formats, including Kindle. Don't know how that works because I don't have one.
I have not been keeping up with more than the buzz of the Olympics - the swim guy, the swim lady who is 41, the really young looking Chinese gymnasts. As far as I am concerned, if you can do well enough to win, who cares how old you are?
