Technology: it is your friend...
...until it isn't.
For the most part I really enjoy my e-reader. It lets me carry books - and yes, fanfic - for ready anywhere and anywhen. And it fits in my purse. An added bonus is that I can jot notes - either with an onscreen keyboard or with the stylus.
And if I can write notes, I can also sketch :
And, while it's not exactly great art, I did want to upload to my computer. Which is when technology stopped being friendly.
Everytime I tried to connect the ereader with the computer, an error message popped up. Which was weird since I'd managed to add a couple of books a few weeks ago. But no matter what I did, what I tried, the error message would appear, followed by the program shutting down.
After much research, the solution was obvious - unwelcome, but obvious. A hard reset. Which meant I lost everything on the reader. *heavy sigh* All the rough notes for stories, some email addresses, and of course my little sketch. The above photo was originally done to show a friend the versatility of my little e-reader.
Fortunately, the books could be reloaded once the reset was done, so none of that was lost.
Oh technology, such a love-hate relationship we have.
