I am a Nalgene owner and definitely aware of unsafe plastics but sounds like this book is against Nalgene?<BR/>I believe diet is the number one weapon we have against many, if not all, of these issues our children face today. Of course, exercise and sleep being equally important but I have to say I am really cautious and not so trusting about vaccinations. It does make me sick to see so many doctors prescribing antibiotics to children over and over, urghh!all over the maphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683876349920004494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-55940397575283126272008-05-30T19:03:00.000-08:002008-05-30T19:03:00.000-08:00I've just begun to show interest in these ebooks a...I've just begun to show interest in these ebooks and this gadget would have really come in handy for a recent review I did. I'm always on the go so I've never gotten into reading online books I'd have a hardcopy on hand to read instead. This would be awesome! I'm all about becoming more GREEN and anyway that I can make my family healther would be appreciated.

My new cell phone, however, has that real page screen and I like it! I can read it without a glare. Amazon also stores your books for you, eliminating the need to take up your own computer space, but I don't think I like that much. This Sony sounds good.<BR/><BR/>I think my biggest obstacle with any reader right now is my love of used books and a good bargain. Used book files ... hmmm.<BR/><BR/>I'm right there with ya on the whole environmental thing and kids. My boy is ADHD, we've changed diet, sleeping habits are very regular, but we medicate. It makes him whole. But I can't blame the environment for this. It's genetic. And exercise helps tremendously.Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412755038083750088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-34087459089683063892008-05-30T16:15:00.000-08:002008-05-30T16:15:00.000-08:00Thanks for your balanced look at this book.

I'm guilty of falling for all the latest scare media and then after a few days of cooling off my scientific brain says, duh, life is dangerous!<BR/>My son reacted to WaterBabies sunscreen so in my hunt for something better for him I found the EWG (environmental working group) website that lists all the "toxins" in all our toiletries. I got all freaked out for a bit. Now I really don't think MaryKay is out to poison me because they use a relative of formaldehyde in my facial moisturizer. There's gotta be a good reason for it!<BR/>anyways, I'm not entering for this post, just commenting!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030109870736499425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-65871203387120646952008-05-30T16:00:00.000-08:002008-05-30T16:00:00.000-08:00It was nice to see you at my blog.

I used to be like that but more and more I find myself reading off a screen of some sort.

On the Sony you advance the page with a click of the button that feels a lot like turning a page.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I would like to see how the Kindle works, especially with my new Mac now. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link Chris, there are so many sites for free books out there it's nice to get a recommendation.<BR/><BR/>And Chickadee, yes you have to upload books onto it. Once you download the Calibre software (if you have a Mac) or the ebook software that comes with it (if you have a PC) then you can go to various websites like manybooks.net or ebooks or project guttenburg or even a store such as Powells.com that sells ebooks and download your choice. It doesn't take more than a minute or two then you drag the files into your library and syncronize the library with your unit via a USB port and cord. Pretty easy once you get it set up though it took a while to discover all this with my Mac.Scribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178711182424809035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-9017758583430330202008-05-30T10:07:00.000-08:002008-05-30T10:07:00.000-08:00If you really want to give it away...

She firmly told her kids and her husband they weren't allowed to drink the diet soda because Nutra sweet was evil and horrible and caused cancer etc etc. HOWEVER - she then hands her kids a non diet (full of calories and sugar) and caffeine full Dr. Pepper. Her and her family sucks down Dr. Peppe like its water - literally. Her and her husband are horribly over weight too. I just stared at her gasping for something to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-35792257686778259092008-05-30T08:25:00.000-08:002008-05-30T08:25:00.000-08:00hello sony digital readerhello sony digital readerEmily Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191603805106981624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-17609875396081838112008-05-30T07:59:00.000-08:002008-05-30T07:59:00.000-08:00Another site for free ebooks is GirlEbooks.
