Window Crashers

Some drunks crashed into and broke this window of the Kramerbooks bookstore, but when police arrived, they wouldn't let the store press charges. Really? You break a window with a baseball bat and are arrested, but when you throw your friend through a (very expensive) window and damage hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise, you're allowed to get off without even a slap on the wrist? Are books not worth anything to people? I bet if it was an electronics store with damaged computers and such they would have been in a world of trouble. What do you think?

Amazon Launches Kindle MatchBook In October

Yesterday, Amazon announced it's newest feature Kindle MatchBook. This means that if you ever bought a physical book on Amazon, you can buy the ebook version for somewhere between free to $2.99. It doesn't matter if you bought the book back in 1995 when Amazon first started, if it is in your Amazon records and if it is part of the MatchBook program, you will have the option of getting the ebook cheaper than if you were to just go out and buy it. This new feature will be launching in October with thousands of titles already part of the program.

Synopsis
On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs.
