Customer Service at Book Depository

June 30, 2015

Hardcover of P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny HanAs much as I prefer ordering books online for the price and convenience, the waiting time does bother me. It’s been taking longer and longer for shipments to be dispatched, which doesn’t coincide with the estimated delivery times listed on Book Depository. I find this rather problematic when it comes to pre-orders that I want to read before all the spoilers emerge. Though for the most part the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Staying Connected with Postmatic

June 10, 2015

Staying Connected with PostmaticEmail replies to blog comments are a great way to keep conversations going. When we comment on a blog, we seldom check back to see if we received any comment replies. Yet comment replies tend to encourage us to return to a blog. It’s nice knowing the blogger cares about our opinions. This is where Postmatic comes in. It’s a WordPress plugin aimed at keeping the conversation going by setting up an email commenting system.

A Year with my Kindle Paperwhite

October 30, 2014

Reading in the dark with my Kindle PaperwhiteA little over a year ago, I took the plunge and ordered a first generation Kindle Paperwhite from Amazon. I first read about the impending emergence of electronic reading devices in 1999. Back then, I already knew that I wanted one and looked forward to the day I would own one. Then when Amazon introduced the Kindle in 2007, I was excited. But I decided against obtaining one then because I weighed the benefits and decided I would wait.

The Appeal of Literally

April 2, 2014

Literally dashboard
Literally, the best app for people who love to read. So the tagline goes for one of the newest book sites on the net. Since Literally still is in beta, I’m not going to make a case for or against it being the best app. However, I do want to make a case for the appeal of Literally.
