I just have the regular Kindle. The other day I couldn't get my wifi to connect, so when I bought a book of amazon I just opted for download to computer and then copied it accross using the USB.

We've just reviwed our contract and it is the responsibility of the property manager to insure the building. Another reason people should have their paperwork/maintenance fees up to date. It's obviously the owner's/renter's responsibility to insure contents, as mentioned in the other thread.

Hi Bmai The podium level is fully lanscaped with paths, grass and gardens. Loads of kids playing down there particularly in the evening. I think they are probably not supposed to ride bikes there but they all do! If you are pushing a buggy to the metro it might be a bit awkward due to the road works and sand, although they finally seem to be getting to grips with it and sorting it out!

I agree Chocs. Really interesting to read some of the info on the site about what he has done leading up to this. He's already successfully jumped from over 90,000ft, although i imagine the extra 30,000 makes a huge difference. Better him than me lol.
