Here's my take on the challenge. I stacked some paperbacks together and then played with shadows and DOF a bit.

Hi Nicole --

It's fine as far as I'm concerned -- I'll admit I've never gotten the full week (with wireless off) out of it that Amazon claims, but to me it's quite acceptable. I can generally get through the better part of a week on a charge with normal use (mostly evenings, and a little during the day here and there), or through the weekend (Friday night through Sunday) if I happen to have a lot of time to read. I still have plenty of paper books and I'll still buy certain books in paper, but I do love that I can get books instantly and also that I can carry dozens of books with me every day, and have them available whenever I find I have a few minutes -- I really feel spoiled!

Laurie

Hi,

I had forgotten about this thread, great shots on those last two! I'm working out in my mind what the next shot should be, but until then feel free to keep posting reading materials!

I was reading this thread and looked up to see what sums up my work life lately.
