lol bad!!!!

Also I think I hear Francine screaming "get him a noooooooook!!!!!"

I might have to get him a nook. We just got iPhones and, of course, the first app I found was iBook . . .

oooo well then you're set! I know there is a nook app and I think there's a kindla app for the iphone. All you have to do is buy the book and then the two of you can read the same book in different places!

Yeah, and he can't lose my place. Humph!

Sounds like a really good idea. Tell us what app you end up with, if you do, so we can get itunes/amazon/B&N/Borders cards or get specific books from the right store!

Sweet! Well Apple has this one called iBooks? I downloaded that one, but if B&N or Borders or whatever don't have a way to download to that, it's fine. I'm kinda sentimental on good old "hard copy" or physical books . . .

lol I am too. I concentrate best with hard copies but it is nice to have everything on one device when Tom has to go to work suddenly. We can get you iTunes cards for the iBooks. I know it sounds odd but iTunes cards buy iBooks. Maybe just the ones that Rich is likely to steal? Unless that's all of them . . .

Duh (to me). I should have remembered that iTunes does iBooks because iBooks went to iTunes when I downloaded it. I guess Rich and I will be asking for iTunes gift cards for presents from now on :)

Sounds good to me. I don't know about apple but there are ways with kindle and nook that you can gift actual books.

Oh! Cool! Yeah, I don't think Apple is there yet (where you can actually gift books) . . . Or maybe I'm just not fluent enough in Apple . . .

lol better than me I can't speak apple at all ;-)

I didn't speak Apple until I got this phone :)

Yup, there's a nook and kindle app - I have it on mine. :-) And on the iPad. It makes it very convenient to always have your book at the ready when you are, no matter where you are. :-)

Just go to iTunes and download it - it's free (nook and kindle apps, I mean). iBooks has a more limited selection of books,unfortunately (but I love iBooks' interface best), followed by kindle then nook. I like the fact that kindle allows you to sync all your devices and you can just pop in whenever and wherever and you're on the correct page. Unfortunately, nook doesn't allow you to. iBooks does but only when you sync your device with your computer.

Cool! I just downloaded an app that lets me turn my iPhone into a GPS device. Basically, hit "Go" and throw the phone in my back pocket. The app does the rest. I think I'll try it on my ride tomorrow. There's also a way I can update friends (they can track me on my route, but I'm not sure how to enable that yet . . .

lol cool I guess you won't have to guess mileage that way.
