Is it better to buy a book or buy an e reader that has books?


I love reading. But lately I've been so busy I can't even go to the library and get books anymore. Is the "nook" or " kindle" worth it? Is there another device that does what those devices do.
But I just want to know if I do buy one of those do I have to purchase the actual books in it? Because that will be very expensive.

But then again. I'm gonna miss having the actual book with me. You know it's actually better to have the actual book instead of reading it on a tablet of some kind. But books can get too bulky and soon I'll have my own library. LOL!

-if I get the nook/kindle do I have to purchase books or do I get an unlimited choice?
-is it better to own the book or read it on a device? (Just out of curiousity)

How to start a charity?


The other day I was in my local Barnes and noble and there was this girl who was looking at an ACT prep book and her grandmother had to say no because they didn't have money and I don't know why but the girls face just broke my heart. You could see the sadness in her eyes. Anyways that gave me an idea to start a charity or something. Maybe I could collect ACT and SAT prep books and give them to those in need? Or what would be another good idea? I don't know why but after that day I completely changed. I want to do good in the world. I need an idea of what to donate. Something like clothes has been done, I want something unique that people in need cant afford. Something easy to collect and something easy to ship to people. My problem is I have no idea where to start. Any advice? Thanks

Desperately seeking advice on job situation?


I have been working in my current position for about a 8 months. It was a steep learning curve with a lot of things to learn, you do not come in knowing how the company functions. Much of the training is on the job and I think I didn't learn as quickly as my boss had wanted and nowadays I know he talks about that to leadership. But I finally got there - now I know pretty much everything to get whatever advanced level work done. It is at this very point that he tells me he is planning on hiring 2 new people, both in positions advanced to mine. I sat there and thought to myself why spend all that time teaching me? There were many times when he has admitted his expectations were off but this time it is downright ridiculous. He requested to have someone with no experience and then 8 months down the line is upset that it took me almost 9 months to figure things out.

Now I want to know if it is time to leave the company. The things I learned are not paying off and I feel I will be pigeonholed into this position for the long haul. As oppose to learning all of the nooks and moving up to something different I am going to continue being the person who does the "nooks." I did not want this and I am literally just depressed after learning of this and don't know what I did to deserve it. I have spent every weekend and many nights over the past 5 months getting myself to this place and putting my work first. This is the reward I get. Should I talk with boss or leave company?
