The festive season has illustrated that the compact digital camera industry might have a problem…

Ten days ago my life changed. I did not win the lottery or ordered a Russian mail order bride but I received a rather welcome surprise. The surprise was the small but powerful Elonex EB500. Honestly I had my reservations about this eReader. The 5” screen seemed super small and I wondered if I will ever be able to read an eBook on it. After doing the unthinkable (reading the gadget manual found inside the box) I started to charge the eReader.

Last minute Christmas shopping…chaotic, expensive, and stressful! Too much to remember, never ending lists of gifts to buy and the prices, THE PRICES! I am tired just thinking about it. Online shopping on the other hand, gives you the ability to research your potential purchases for the best deals, saving you money and time! Retail therapy at its best.
