Dear Week, Stop It!

Monday: feeling slightly off
Tuesday: sick as a dog, shaking and shivering in bed
Wednesday: Feeling much better, but clearly still feverish - sweating so hard I couldn't keep my hair dry even carrying a towel around with me!
Thursday morning: Thank good that's over.
Thursday afternoon and Friday: short of breath, and spoons. For reals, Week?
Saturday: Completely out of spoons.
Sunday: Driven shrieking awake at 5AM by pain in shoulder/neck. Fortunately got back to sleep, but still there when I woke up later, also feels like I've been kicked in ribs on same side.

Just stop it!

WTF, Kindle Fire?

 Tries to download an Amazon sample last night, "This is taking longer than expected, check back later."

So try to open up a book already on the Fire, immediate pop-up, "blah, blah, DRM, blah blah, please erase the book and download or buy from the Kindle bookstore"

What?

Try a different book, the same. And another, and another, and it looks like it's every book on the Fire.

Not impressed.

Not checked if I can access them on PC as yet, slightly nervous about that.
