Too true. But then I am a mile away from the conservative party conference.

Why does Send To Kindle now keep crashing Firefox? :(

Why can't I send to my Windows PC? I have received a .mobi eBook. I can send it to my Kindle, I can copy it to my Android PC, but the Kindle app on my PC can't load eBooks and I can't send it to the PC! When I try and open the .mobi Windows chucks me into the Window Market Place to find a suitable reader, but Kindle isn't a suitable reader.

I also manually downloaded the .azw file that Amazon created with the send to Kindle function, but Kindle Reader can't open that either! :evil:


Some sort of syncing issue messing up functionality? I never use the Kindle devices app unless it's a graphic novel I've bought from them on my tablet. I've a feeling it is a syncing problem since I have to keep logging in with StK, freezes etc.

No, the Kindle app for Windows only supports loading books from the cloud, it is not possible to load books locally. And Amazon only supports sending books to actual Kindle devices, not apps.

In all fairness not very often, I have been doing my job for nearly 6 years and I know it very well, IME the idiots are generally the a) newbies who think they know it all or 2) the people who don't really understand the role of a PA.

Mine were when very young. I managed to avoid those sorts of problems for along time.

^^^I've experienced that too. You want to read an article for example and it will load everything else first before loading the article.

Gah! I'm trying to fill in an online application for an internal vacancy at work.
One of the required fields is Line Managers e-mail. It won't accept my managers e-mail address (which is, naturally a company e-mail address).
I have no idea why it won't accept it. Unless my line managers been changed and nobody told me... again.

Has your line manager taken out a restraining order on you? ;) :lol:

If they had it might have been a good idea to tell me about it. We share an office and I sit next to them, albeit with a partition (with a window) between us.
In any case, my application went in from a work PC without any problems and I now have an interview for the job on the 14th :D
