Product review: I am buying the Kindle versions of Dorothy Dunnett's books because I have read and re-read my paperback copies so often that they are falling apart. The Niccolo books use some of the standard devices of romance novels (misunderstood hero, star-crossed lovers, difficult quest)but Dunnet's intelligent prose, multifaceted characters and detailed research into the historical context raise her novels far above average historical fiction. Dunnett's Lymond series is also wonderful. She's the best, as far as I'm concerned: you get a LOT of story for your money with Dunnett.

Review title: Great--until it broke in the second week Product review: This Learning Resource phone did in fact help my daughter learn our telephone number (helped by a incentive of a trip for ice cream when she did it)----and quite satisfactorily allowed a personalized recording of our voices to be waiting for her when she successfully dialed it (just the 7 digits---no area code).I was looking forward to her playing with it for years---and then it broke. The entire middle row of numbers stopped "beeping" when pressed. I too, fancy myself as someone who can take apart and put things together---unscrewed the back and when I got it off, found the densely soldered network around the keypad unfixable (by me, anyway).So, for the two weeks it worked, great!And then it broke.Rather disappointing overall.

Review title: Readiris Pro 11 Product review: This product didn't work as well as the Readiris Pro 9 I was replacing. I upgraded as I had a big project of scanning obits for my genealogy society. Don't waste your money on it as I did! I should have listened to the other reviews.
