Technology: Kindle on iPAD, another option 2012-06-06 - Columbia, KY - Photo CM screenshot. Linda Cook writes:I love the written word, as well as grammar and spelling. (our going joke is I'm Ronald's spell check) You don't see me often without a book nearby, or my iPad. I've got the Kindle app on it, and buy at least a book a month. Much, much better than television--my imagination can take me anywhere. If I want to re-read a passage, I don't have to wait for it to air again. I love it when I read something again, and get a totally different take on what the author was talking about. - Linda Cook Thanks, Linda Cook for reminding us of how important Reading is in our lives, how increasingly important libraries still are. An e-Reader is always the next best thing - and sometimes they have huge advantages - to a real book one can hold, feel, smell and read. An Amazon Kindle or B & N Nook basic e-Reader may be the cheapest, easiest to carry around e-reader. They fit in a pocket or purse. With Kindle 3G new books can be downloaded almost anywhere, and the e-ink gives a more real book feel. But many of us, the elegance and ease of use of an iPad - and the fact that is backlit and can be read in bed, makes it - or a Kindle Fire - a better choice. I prefer the iPAD in almost every situation, but own a Kindle to see how CM reads on a Kindle. Kindle is very awkward by comparison. The screen shot above is a page from a Kindle book, read on an iPAD. -EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Tiny Building on Fortune Street was once a dispensary 2012-06-05 - E. Fortune Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A LITTLE SCOTT JOPLIN, IN REMEMBRANCE OF PROHIBITION, TOO, PLEASE. Happy Days Were Here Again, Once, Here, at the little white building on Fortune Street now used by the City Street Department. Right after the 21st Amendment was ratified in 1933, the 18th Amendment, was repealed, and Adair County was briefly wet. This was the Seth White dispensary. Grover Gilpin says that there were at least four dispensaries around Columbia at the time: Preston and Otha Miller operated a store on Russell Road, there was Epps Place on the Square, and the Tom Tabor ran a dispensary on Hudson Street. The stores operated for a very brief time until a local option law made the town officially, but not actually, dry again. Now the little building stands as an unmarked monument to those days. (Please email comments and additional information to: ed@columbiamagazine.com) This wasn't Tom Tabor's Dispensary, but the picture from our files raised a question in Joe DeSpain's mind as to whether our late Tom Tabor is the same Tom Tabor who operated, briefly, a dispensary in Greensburg, KY. See http://www.columbiamagazine.com/index.php?sid=52372>Was Greensburg's Tom Tabor same as Columbia's Tom Tabor?
