I use Kindle app on the tablet for kindle books. Don't want to buy hardcopies anymore , they take up too much storage space. 

I do have the Kindle device 1st generation one.  Antique liow, but surprisingly it still works....

道君

at first seem like 修仙/fantasy novel.

but it turn out to be more like a politics / plot / spy / war novel.

Will try some other time.

 

Currently I'm reading 斗羅大陸. Easy to read with relatively swift pacing.

I thought would just be a generic xiu lian story since there are like 4 different seasons/stories and I've seen some of those CGI animations which i really disliked. But the characters are pretty well developed and the fights and power system is pretty interesting. I'm pleasantly surprised.

UNDERSTANDING THE BOEING 737-800: A Pilot’s Guide to Flight Operations and Systems Management ( 2024 Edition) Paperback – August 21, 2024 

by  Kurt S. Walker  (Author)

 

Murray

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK ABOUT THE BOEING 737-800

Reviewed in Canada on December 4, 2024

Verified Purchase

Read this carefully... please do not make the same mistake I made and buy this book (especially the hardcover version).

This book is not for pilots who what to increase their knowledge on the Boeing 737-800. I thought being "A Pilot's Guide" and the 2024 Edition it would be something much more than it is.

-This book has no systems diagrams or even pictures and even though it says it has an INDEX it doesn't.
-It references non aviation terms like gasoline versus (jet) fuel
-It makes statements about the Fly-By-Wire system for the B737-800 (which is incorrect)
-All system are referred to in general terms that could be for any twin engine jet transport aircraft
-The way it references non-normals is dramatic and sensational
-In some cases, it has a feel as if it were translated to an English Version

I'd ask for my money back from Amazon but I was dumb enough to read it cover-to-cover so I'm deciding if I should throw it away because I would not want any pilot to read it.

This product is poor and a waste of money for something titled "Pilot's Guide to Flight Operations" and there are much better books available on Amazon for learning about the Boeing 737NG.

Sorry Kurt S. Walker (the author) but what you claim in the introduction about this book is far from what the book is...

Haha it's a very difficult trend to reverse. 

Mobile games is another one. Minecraft and roblox. I see the trash that the kids consume nowadays.

Trash in = trash out.
