I'm obsessed with the Kindle 2. I can't stop googling it lol.
I found this article about how the authors guild is suing Amazon because of the text-to-speech feature on the Kindle 2. Because they sell books plus they sell books on tape so by having a text-to-speech feature available, they are giving away the audio book version for free with the sale of e-books. But that is so not true because nothing can compare to the emotion in the voice of a person reading a book on a tape or cd. It's totally not the same because text-to-speech sounds robotic. There is no emotion. We will see what happens. I mean, what's preventing people from using text-to-speech on their PC to listen to e-books? They aren't suing Microsoft.

New look
Yesterday I changed my theme so it's a bit easier to read. The red is gone for good. I just found that the text was too small and I'm sure that's why I wasn't getting too many views.
This new theme the text is bigger and the banner on the top is going to be random images from EverQuest. I took a whole bunch of screen shots in EQ for this so just need to find the random banner changer plug in again. I'm pretty sure that was for banner ad's but why wouldn't it work with the page banner? Right? I'm talking to myself lol.

Kindle Blog
I was looking at Kindle the other day and as I was there I saw that you can read peoples blogs on the kindle. I thought that you could just go to either their website or there was a think where you tell them who you subscribe to but apparently it's not like that.
If you want to read a blog their blog site has to be registered through Kindle and you have to pay for it. Well, I don't want to charge people to read my ramblings. Although the money would be nice but why charge people when they can read it for free here through my website either on the PC or through a mobile phone like the iPhone or iPod or even PSP.
If they make it so that I don't have to charge people at all then I will add it to Kindle but I honestly don't know anyone who even has a Kindle. I would like to publish my blog though because I currently have 0 readers. So frankly, nobody is going to read this. Hell, I don't even read my own blog. I just blog it. I do read it after I've posted it to see if there are any corrections needed or I go back. Anyway lol I was rambling. I would like to get it on Kindle but not as a pay blog.
