I went hog wild

[ Edited ]

First of all, where did the phrase "hog wild" come from? It sounds American to me.

 

Anyway, I finally sprang for a new Paperwhite, since the kindle I had was older than dirt. And then I bought a "Hello Kitty" cover for it! ("Hello Kitty" is kind of a running joke in my family.

 

The new one is SO much faster and easier to read than the old one.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

Paperwhite is a type of e-reader from Amazon, I think.

I guess I should have said E-reader.

 

You can buy electronic books at a fairly low price and keep them forever. You can also download books that cost nothing if they're Kindle Unlimited. I have tons of those; once in a while I'll pay full price if it's something I really want but in 99% of cases, I won't pay more than $10 and I'd have to want it pretty bad to pay that kind of money.
