It grieves me to have to report that hopes of his survival must now be abandoned. It therefore falls to my lot, as the Head of the Department he served so well, to give some account of this officer and of his outstanding services to his country.     James Bond was born of a Scottish father, Andrew Bond of Glencoe, and a Swiss mother, Monique Delacroix, from the Canton de Vaud. His father being a foreign representative of the Vickers armaments firm, his early education, from which he inherited a first-class command of French and German, was entirely abroad. When he was eleven years of age, both his parents were killed in a climbing accident in the Aiguilles Rouges above Chamonix, and the youth came under the guardianship of an aunt...     At the age of twelve or thereabouts, he passed successfully into Eton, for which College he had been entered at birth by his father. It must be admitted that his career at Eton was brief... his aunt was requested to remove him. She managed to obtain his transfer to Fettes, his father's old school. Here the atmosphere was somewhat Calvinistic, and both academic and athletic standards were rigorous. Nevertheless, though inclined to be solitary by nature... By the time he left, at the early age of seventeen, he had twice fought for the school as a light-weight and had, in addition, founded the first serious judo class at a British public school.     By now it was 1941 and, by claiming the age of nineteen and with the help of an old Vickers colleague of his father, he entered a branch of what was subsequently to become the Ministry of Defence. To serve the confidential nature of his duties, he was accorded the rank of lieutenant in the Special Branch of the RNVR, and it is a measure of the satisfaction his services gave to his superiors that he ended the war with the rank of Commander...     James Bond was briefly married in 1962, to Teresa, only daughter of Marc-Ange Draco, of Marseilles. The marriage ended in tragic circumstances that were reported in the Press at the time. There was no issue of the marriage and James Bond leaves, so far as I am aware, no relative living.

  New Kindle (basic version, $79) user review:

Everything works great as advertised.

Pros:
- Amazingly thin and light.

- Battery seems to run forever. With the Wi-Fi turned off, expecting the listed 15 hours, I thought it would be about half drained after a few days and found that it was not yet a quarter down.

Cons:
- If you want to enter any text it is no fun at all. Very awkward and difficult. I presume the Touch model has a touch keyboard, and this would be much easier. At only $20 more, it makes far more sense to buy the Touch.

- They really should put some kind of light into these things. Built in edge light or backlight. Good accessory lights cost about $25, absurdly expensive.

- Most .pdfs are very difficult to read. They display too small, even rotated to landscape mode. If you zoom in, you must choose 150% or 200%, and you get just one side of the page, and it is very awkward to move from side to side. They need to change the zoom function to allow increments of 10%, 110%, 120%, etc., so you can get just the full text centered. You can improve things a bit by trimming the margins off the .pdf (if they are uniform) by using freeware PDFill Tools (http://download.cnet.com/PDFill-Free-PDF-Tools/3000-18497_4-10435051.html). Then the text will be displayed larger.

However, if you want to read a lot of .pdfs you should probably purchase a tablet PC such as the Coby 8" with Android 2.3 which is only $160 at Amazon (this, of course, also solves the backlight problem). The Kindle display is not large enough for many .pdfs.

If you want to view photos, it can be done, one at a time. Rather slow. If you want to view many in a row like a slide show, resize the photos to 600x800 (landscape) or 800x600 (portrait), then convert the photos to .pdf format, using a free tool such as CutePDF (http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp) and finally merge the separate .pdf pages into one file with another free tool such as PDFTK Builder (http://www.angusj.com/pdftkb/#pdftkbuilder). Set the contrast on your Kindle to maximum for best photo viewing.
