It's not a question of being able to or not; I just don't want to.
I, on the other hand, hate looking for something to read next.

I love it.

Of course, I usually browse my calibre library or the pre-loaded books on my ereaders for this. Looking for something new in bookstores with all their recommendations and ads is not something I enjoy much these days.

Whereas I find cooking to be relaxing and something I enjoy doing. I admit my spouse finds this to be rather unnatural.

Well, people do like very different things. Many (if not most) folks love traveling and watching TV, two activities I've never been much interested in. I have always loved reading, especially books; but neither of my parents was a reader, one of my nieces downright hates it (she's not dyslexic, as far as I know), the other one and my sister occasionally read, but can easily go years without reading a single book. I can't go even a week without reading a book.

As to cooking, I know people who love it, people who dislike it like me, and people who have no strong feelings either way.

When someone buys a blacklisted Kindle on eBay and comes here to ask to bypass the registration instead of trying to get his/her money back.

Jon, what is a blacklisted kindle, please? Are people not allowed to resell them?

A blacklisted Kindle is a Kindle that has been reported to Amazon as lost or stolen.

Kindles can also be blacklisted if they're returns Amazon doesn't want back.

My cat's Christmas present to me is getting her claw stuck in my leg and tearing open the skin pulling it back out. So much blood.

I used alcohol swabs so hopefully it won't infect.

Ouch. Watch that carefully, cat scratches can get nasty.

Yeah, cats are dangerous.

I trim the claws of one of my cats, the one who climbs on me or my lap all the time. The two others unfortunately don't allow me to do it, fortunately they also don't climb and trample on me.

People should not sell a blacklisted Kindle. They can never be registered. But they do get sold and not mentioned that they are blacklisted in the advert.
