I had a similar experience with early cherry tomatoes grown in containers (in Pro-mix for veggies) vs at least nine other varieties of cherry tomato grown in the veggie garden (which was amended with aged cow manure). The four varieties of container-grown cherry tomatoes all tasted exceptional, whilst the garden-grown ones were all disappointing. Next year I really should grow the same variety in a container and the garden, except that I still want to experiment with more new-to-me varieties.... Linda

"I had it set for Device." Having it set for Device is just the setting for when you're viewing it right then. It's not the setting for where the books will go when you buy them. (And when I say "buy," it includes books that are free.) Also, you said you "have clicked on the grey arrow for all of them." Did you click on those arrows one right after the other? Or did you wait until one book finished downloading before clicking the arrow for another book? It makes sense that you should just be able to "click away to your heart's content," because, after all, when I buy a bunch of books to be downloaded to my newest generation Kindle they just queue up until they're all eventually downloaded. But, if you have been clicking a bunch of them one right after the other, maybe you should try just clicking on one and then waiting until the download completes before starting another. OK, I just went to Amazon and "purchased" a free book. I chose to have it downloaded to my Kindle Fire. I've got the device sitting on the desk just to the left of my keyboard, and it's turned on, and the wireless is on. When I buy books and choose to have them download to either my newest Kindle or the 2nd Gen Kindle, they download immediately. But I've sat here for over 5 minutes and nothing has downloaded. So, I went to the Settings menu (the starburst looking thing to the left of the wireless icon at the top right of the screen), and tapped on Sync and the book immediately downloaded. But, here's what you can do if you've downloaded all of your books to your computer. Connect the Fire to your computer with the USB cable -- it needs the regular size USB connector on one end to connect to your computer, and the mini USB connector on the other end to connect to the Fire. Follow the instructions on the screen to "disconnect the device" from your computer, but do NOT physically remove the USB cable. The Kindle will be shown in your computer's drive listings as a removable device, but it should show the word "Kindle." Find the books on your computer (hopefully you remember which folder you put them in when you downloaded them), highlight all of them and then copy them to the Books folder on the "Kindle drive."

Rhonda, if it helps, we had about 35 sign up last year, including me. Most of those were in the USA. Ok. If you all don't think it's too early, I'll start another post. I won't have internet until Monday, so I'll start replying to those who sign up then. Thanks!

Paula, I told Jason that if it's a girl it will go in the crib, and if it's a boy it will just be mine....or it may end up being mine either way! LOL! We went to a baby consignment shop yesterday, too, and I went a little crazy in there. They had so much there that I loved, and it all looked brand new! Got a stroller/carseat travel system...oh my gosh! I love this so much! Strollers are so much cooler now than they were 18 years ago! And I got the swing that I've been eyeing at Toys R Us and love. Also got a beautiful changing table that has a sleigh-bed style to it. Plus Jason picked out a toy he liked. Only spent $200 there and the retail price on the swing and travel system alone is $300. They only sell things in like-new condition. Can;'t wait to go back and get some more goodies!
