We had thought that producing some matter on book reader would be an impossibility. However, once we started, there was no turning back.

Before & After - Audio Books
No doubt about it.
I am a book lover.
I love books and have been reading since I was a little baby. My parents made sure they instilled the love of books in me. Unlike my other mates throughout school who always had problems reading, I never had such problems.
Reading was fun to me. It was something I would do, not because I had to get good grades in school, but because I just loved to.
Like you would expect, I carried this love for books into my adulthood.
To tell you how serious this love is, I even met my wife in the library where I went to get a novel I had heard so much about.
Now that I have kids I still read. My love for books is so great that I am on my way to instilling the same love into my kids too.
I used to make it a habit to read to my kids EVERY night before they go to bed, no matter how tired I am when I get home from my job.
I didn't expect it to, but because I work long hours at my job, I always get very tired while reading to my kids at night. In many occasions I have even fallen asleep before my kids right whilst I'm reading to them!
Deep within me I could see that there just wasn't any way I could keep up with the habit of always reading to my kids each night... unless I found another job that would take up less of my time (but still pay me good wage at the same time - impossible to find such a job, right?)
At that same time that I was thinking of that, I was promoted in my job. This then demanded my presence at the office one hour before everyone else, and - you won't believe it - one hour AFTER everyone else had left the office.
Yikes, that's the one hour I spend every morning reading a chapter on motivations and inspirations and one hour I spend reading to my kids after work - all going down the drain.
I was in a great dilemma about what to do. My wife suggested I give up reading to my kids at nights, and she would do it instead, but I just couldn't let that happen because she had too much to do herself, and I didn't want to add more responsibilities for her.
I was still battling for a way out when I discovered AUDIO BOOKS!
Eureka... the savior had arrived.
Six weeks after my first contact with audio books, my dilemma has ended.
Not only have I gained back my 2 hours taken by my job, I have added many more hours to my life because of audio books.
How?
First, I now get a 2 hour value of books every morning before I get to work.
During the 1 hour it usually takes me to prepare for work, I listen to an audio book.
During the 1 hour or so it takes me to commute to and from work, I listen to an audio book.
During the 1 hour or so I spend to have lunch and break times, I listen to an audio book.
Total time gained with audio books is 3 incredibly educative hours in the mornings and afternoons.
Now my job doesn't have to take all of my time away from getting the value I get reading books.
Secondly, instead of spending the 1 hour reading to my kids each night when I get home tired, I play an audio book for them instead. Somehow I discovered that they seem to prefer the audio books to my reading.
I think I heard my daughter mumbling about how the voice from the audio book is "more awake than dad's". This shows you how sleepy I get at certain nights while reading to my kids.
Now... aren't audio books wonderful?
If you have had similar problems to me, you can gain back your time by taking advantage of the amazing value of audio books.
The fact that most of the best-selling titles now come in audio book format make it far more interesting.
To get started, go online and search for the audio book version of that book you have been dying to read. Even books that your kids or spouse love to read could be available in audio book format. If they are, they will be a great time saver for you.

Customer Review: Passed exam with 910
The book was not extremely useful for this exam, basically its just a recap of the materials learnt in all other exams. The book did however provide a great refresh of this information and the practice questions on the simulator included prepare you for the exam well.
Customer Review: Good summary but missing specific details
Overall this book was a great review and summary of some of the information covered on the 70-297 vendor exam. However, it was missing some specific details about material that was covered on the vendor exam. The case studies did a great job of preparing you for the type of format you will see on the exam but the content was not nearly as in-depth or challenging as on the vendor exam. IF you are looking for the quintessential book to prepare for the vendor exam, this is not it. However, as a review of major concepts it is right on.

Very easy set up. Fast and easy. The only negative comments seem to come from PC users. Maybe the problems are not the hard drive- they are the operating system. If you have a MAC buy it! It is great!
Customer Review: Smaller than it appears but The size I need it
I was unsure which one to get, but I found this and it is good, I can use it USB or Firewire, the sSata is not really usefull for me now, the plus thing I found on it is that it turns on and off automatically with the computer, so no need to go and click on the power botton.

Customer Review: Enjoyable
If you are a fan of Lost, investing in the 3rd season is well worth it.
Customer Review: What a wild series!
Season 3 started out with too many flashbacks and seemed to bog down at first and then... it took off with a bang and many plot twists and turns and surprises.

Chuzzle
Meet the Chuzzles - the adorable stars of this slide and match puzzle experience! They are googly-eyed balls of fur that giggle, squeak, and sneeze as you slide columns and rows to set off combos and chain reactions of ridiculous intensity.
Customer Review: AWESOME GAME---CHUZZLE is worth all 5 stars!!!!!
I have to say I hesitated before purchasing this...it seemed like a child's game...and I am over the proverbial hill (50) I am a longtime addict of Bejeweled and Alchemy (also PopCap games) and this is definitely, without a doubt loads more fun than Bejeweled. It has bright and colorful furry "chuzzles" with eyes that follow your cursor and do lots of funny, unexpected things (see another reviewer's notes) Part of the fun is discovering all those things yourself. It took seconds to install on Win XP, and voila! I was playing my first game, and lost all track of time!! It is challenging, and you have options to play classic, speed versions, earning bonus points, and even trophies. What seems simple at first rapidly becomes addictive, and hours will pass as you are intently focused on trying to group 3 or more chuzzles together to pop them. There are rainbow chuzzles that you should definitely try for, and very fat chuzzles, and well, you can discover the rest for yourself. I had gotten a little bored with Bejeweled. I think Chuzzle is a great step up, it holds your interest with all the little "quirks" and sounds of the furry chuzzles. It is for children of all ages, and for the price, it is one of the best games I've tried. Definitely try Chuzzle, I don't think anyone would regret getting it. For anyone who loves Bejeweled, you will love this more!! IMHO....:) Have FUN.
Customer Review: This a KICK BUTT game:)
I loved Bejeweled but CHUZZLE ROCKS MY WORLD it is a kick butt game. It is high additive game and zen mode on the Chuzzle the best if you want just to have layback game with no pressure.I can spend hours playing the zen mode on Chuzzle. I am buying this game for everyone i know for a christmas gift. If you want awesome game this is the for you.
