I was able to read several chapters of one of the free epub books yesterday using Moon+. Then I created a Dropbox account, installed the app on my tablet and pc, uploaded some photos from the pc and viewed them on the tablet. (I had taken a bazillion photos of the Chesapeake Bay last month hoping one would be good enough to print in large size and frame to hang on the wall. I figured the super duper screen on the tablet made it the perfect way to view the photos. Unfortunately the sky looked pretty bitmappy in most of them, I guess because I was using the zoom lens on my camera. So they're nice on an 8 inch screen but not so much for 11x17 or so. Oh well.)

Later last night I had problems waking up the tablet when I wanted to use it again. I force-stopped both the Dropbox and Moon+ apps and restarted the tablet, and since then it's okay. Now I will have to try using the apps one at a time to see if either one was causing the problem or if something else was going wonky.

While I was using the tablet for reading I was keeping an eye on the battery. I want to be able to read with it during a trip later this month, so I'm hoping the battery won't die on me mid-flight. Now I'm wondering if I should look into one of those portable charging things that I've seen in stores but not paid any attention to because my phone battery still kicks a$$ even though it's several years old.

That's another thing about technology -- you think you've got everything you need, then you realize there's one more accessory. Kind of like cycling, I guess.
