Review title: Very Fast Product review: A simple benchmark test using the HDTune benchmark program indicates an impressive 21Mbps READ rate using a USB 2.0 card reader. The card may be faster but that's the max speed supported by the USB 2.0 port on my computer. I also tested WRITE speed using a 100MB data file and it took 4.5 seconds to copy which is also very fast.My previous card (which was expensive at the time) only runs at 4Mbps.According to the Transcend specs it can operate up to 266x. The x refers back to the data rate of a traditional 2 channel audio CD running at 1x speed which works out to be 150Kbps if you do the math.So if their specs are accurate it can go up to 150Kbps x 266 = 39.9Mbps. I'll have to get a card reader with a IEEE1394/Firewire interface to be able test a card that fast.I also observed that it's detected as an IDE device on compatible systems, not just a flash drive. This card may have some interesting uses in the future.

Review title: Don't know if I believe what I have read Product review: What I mean about this title is this. Christopher V. V. Parnell mentions in his book that he doesn't smoke. However, on the front cover of the book, you will notice that he is holding a cigarette in his left hand. The same photograph appears later inside the same book. When I see such ambiguities, it always (with me anyway), casts doubt on the integrity of what I am reading. If you read this Christopher, please advise.Thanks.....J

Review title: Beautifully produced compendium of Brit-flora watercolors.. Product review: This atmospheric book preserves a classically British place and time -- country Great House, 19th century. Ladies of sensitivity and breeding painted watercolors (oils were for "serious" male artists).These 2 generations worth of works are reproduced finely enough for framing the larger examples. Backgrounds are age-yellowed; the drafting, composition, and coloration are impressive for unknown amateurs (again, ladies were considered charming dabblers).The cover (printed same as the shiny DJ, with a bit of an incongruous linen-texture finish that will nevertheless wear well) is done in fancy marbled paper/leather-tipping simulation -- a great "old time" look for the country decorated sunroom table, etc. Nice peek into a bygone era!

Review title: Pleasant surprise Product review: Hopefully I won't offend the author when I say I had never heard of her before about a week ago, but now I'm very glad I have. I really found this first novel in the series a good read, it piqued my interest so much so that I had a hard time stopping reading. I purchased it for my Kindle and as soon as I finished it, went back and got book #2 and I haven't regretted either one.
