    I need to break down and buy a kindle. I read books on my phone but a larger screen would be nice.

    Pros:
    Everything you need to complete the hit is in the iframe, including the necessary wiki information to write the questions so you don't/shouldn't have to actually go to the Wikipedia page to find additional information about the given object/subject.

    The requester has been very communicative in my experience, as they have answered all of the questions I asked through email.

    Cons:
    They threaten rejections very often, in the actual HIT itself, in the HIT feedback, and even through email.
    The requester doesn't seem to know what it is that they want. Their instructions make the task seem straight and to the point, but then they'll tack on additional details that aren't included about what they would have preferred despite the grammar being correct, and the sentence structure...

    They are super handy. I know some people prefer a physical book, and I can be a curmudgeon about technology and I've been a bookworm since I was old enough to know what a book is, so I totally understand the argument. But having a literal library all in one device is awesome, and e-ink makes it that much easier to adapt to. I can read on my phone/ipad, but the kindle is much more comfortable. Plus having the mobile/computer/whatever app sync back and forth is super convenient too.

    I feel like a commercial. Bezos, where my paycheck at?

    Happened to me last week with my voting ballot (safe and secure, no worries - oh damn, where is that thing, tearing the house apart).

    It ended up being on my night stand underneath my kleenex box. Vintage me.

    Smart! Glad you found it!

    And to be honest, it is completely realistic for me to have taken a Home Depot gift card to bed with me.

    If it's worth anything to anyone, here's an old photo I took of some beautiful antique marbles along with a tiny but legit anvil. :)
    The people to whom I posted this were 'serious' marble collectors, and found it completely horrifying! :emoji_grin:

    Did you check your purse? That seems like the safest/handiest spot for a gift card to me
