Why did I wait so long to get my iPod touch? This thing is fantastic! I am at the baseball game last night (free Wi-Fi at the stadium), searching the internet for the scores from other games and updating my facebook status! All without the big monthly AT&T phone bill! It ROCKS!!

What a fantastic printer! Super fast, great quality prints and super easy to set up. Love the multiple paper trays and ability to print envelopes and other misc documents from the 3rd tray. The replacement ink cartridges Hewlett Packard Q7553X Black print cartridge for hp laserjet p2015/p2015n claim to run about 7000 copies bringing the cost for printing to under $.02! Ordered this on a Sunday and had it at my door on Tuesday afternoon. Amazon Rocks!

What’s more fun than watching a baby learn to take his first steps on his own? Watching him laugh and take delight along his path with some truly chompy friends… he even helped assemble the two bolts to install the handle. Very gratifying for everyone. His first walking toy, he is now ambling about 8 to 10 steps without assistance. Thanks, again, Melissa & Doug for a very imaginative, original, NON-TOXIC, NON-PLASTIC and affordable toy that will endure for nostalgia and purpose. Fat Brain Toys had excellent shipping, service, and receipt documentation. Thanks to all.

Our family adopted a bearded collie from a local shelter. Not knowing anything about the breed we found she needed extra grooming care. Beardies have a thick coat and undercoat that mats easily. After an initial $70 haircut, trying to keep up with just brushing, the FURminator was recommended to us. She will never need another $70 haircut again. Every 5 days we use this product on her coat and she looks newly groomed. I would recommend the FURminator to anyone with a dog long hair or short.

I love Pampers wipes. They are the only wipes that do not cause my daughters eczema to flare up!

I’m going to go out on a limb here. Let me get right to the point: This is a terrible book.

Harsh? Maybe, but that’s how it is. About the time Artemis Fowl hit the market, I heard it claimed that Eoin Colfer was 14 when he wrote it. On some simple checking of dates, the claim seems unlikely (he was 36 when it was published). But the book is so badly written that it’s believable. If this was fanfic, everyone would be pointing at the protagonist and shouting “Gary Stu! Gary Stu!” (If that doesn’t ring any bells, try looking up “Mary Sue” instead.) The descriptive style … well, what can one say about the descriptive style? Phil Foglio uses some very similar characterisations in his Myth books. (Compare Guido and Nunzio to Fowl’s butler, for example.) The difference is, Foglio is writing humorous — and occasionally risqué — parody (and doing a good job of it) … but Colfer is serious. And it just doesn’t work. The characters are cardboard and flat; the plot is predictable and stereotyped, and yet manages to strain even a teenager’s willing suspension of disbelief with its excesses of “But wait, there’s more.”

Granted, this is supposed to be “young adult” fiction. But so is Harry Potter; and the qualkity of writing and plot development in Harry Potter are so far above Artemis Fowl that there’s scarcely any comparision. I know if anyone had given me a copy of Artemis Fowl when I was a “young adult”, I’d have been insulted that they thought my reading level was so low.

This thing is fantastic. It works perfectly, and is everything they claim it is. While I still love cuddling up with a real book, the books on here are much easier on a college students wallet. I love it and can’t wait until the end of the semester when I’ll have more time to read from it.

The product itself is great to get you up and moving. So many times kids just sit and stagnate playing their video games but this is the best solution to that issue to date. Also a big thanks for the great customer service and speedy shipping.
