I'm familiar with M.C. Beaton's books. Thanks, Ross.

Thanks for all the tips, but I'm giving up on the Kindle. I had taken the Kindle to a workshop in Texas. There I was, in the middle of the night in a dorm room whose air-conditioning didn't work. I couldn't sleep, and the stupid Kindle wouldn't bring up a new book to help me pass the time.

Plus, every move wasted battery, battery that wasn't supposed to have gone down the way it had. To me, it isn't worth the hassle.
