Hello, Sin�ad.

Just a couple of quick corrections. The Department of Information Systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) does not have a dean. It does have a chair, Dr. Andrew Sears. Dr. Preece is not at UMBC, she is however, the Dean of the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP).

Hi Ben, thanks for stumbling upon my blog post about your brilliant wife. Though I am no longer in academia, I still have a great interest in her work (and yours too now). I must sit down and read The Reader-to-Leader Framework on my Kindle later, wouldn’t have come across it this evening if it hadn’t been for your comment here. Thanks again.

I have been so confused with all the new readers on the market like the Nook, Sony Reader and iPad. But after reading this blog and doing some research I think the Kindle is the way to go.

Think Niall is on to something there – not only do I find reading on a Kindle a nicer experience than an iPad, but it’s a lot more difficult to be distracted – you don’t feel that urge to flick to twitter or check your email.

I do *love* the Kindle syncing across devices – brilliantly simple.

Just another one saying he has no known problem reading on the iPad before bed. I read (Kindle and Instapaper) with white text on black background with the iPad brightness turned right down. Within 5 minutes of putting my head on the pillow I’m asleep and seem to be sleeping fine.

Then again, I do have a 2 year old so I’ve learned to sleep when the going is good.

Must agree with you there Niall about it being an escape, I think it’s making me appreciate the simple act of reading offline. Which can only be a good thing.
