Buffy ,'Showtime'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I really like my e-reader (a primitive-seeming Sony), though I don't buy anything for it.
If you have calibre, you can very flexible about formats. I like turning things into ePub for reading since that's the format my reader plays best with. On my wife's kindle I've found that converting PDF to MOBI first makes for a much better experience.
converting PDF to MOBI
I just went to a Moby place. My brain ain't right.
The technology thing I'm digging the most right now is that our new stereo has an iPod dock (yes, I know we are WAY behind the curve on this, but, well, that's how we roll [I won't even tell you how old our TV is]), and we can stream Pandora through the iPod Touch over wifi.
I have been listening to Vince Guaraldi radio pretty much nonstop for over a week. (With a break when Tim demanded we create a Cake station on Pandora. You get some interesting shit on the Cake station. A lot of Beck, for one.)

Do you get any Moby?

Not that I remember. Other than Beck, there was a lot of shit that sounded like it had been on Dawson's Creek, unexpected Gorillaz, and a lot of Fratellis.

Heck our component stereo only has RCA jacks. It's around 18 years old. The speakers (Boston Acoustics) are around 25 years old. That shit never dies.
I have neither a stereo nor any speakers. Luckily I live alone, because I just wear my iPod around the house.
Our stereo is ancient as well.
The new stereo doesn't have a tape deck. Stereos with tape decks still exist, but, really, the iPod dock was the primary motivator behind this one (not to stream Pandora; that was just something I figured out one night after we got it). So the old stereo is going to the community Up For Grabs day. (Once a year, in the auditorium of one of the churches, there is a swap meet called Up For Grabs day -- as long as you bring 2 things [obviously you can bring more], you can peruse all the other stuff people brought and take home as much as you like. Last year Tim got a perfectly good LCD monitor for his computer.)
Somewhere there is a portable boom box that has a tape deck, in case we have a sudden need to play tapes.
