Member Spotlight: Steve Turney

Steve is a long time member of Geeks on Tour. When he learned of our trip thru the Panama Canal, he told us a bit of his story. He knows a LOT more about Panama than we do! What an interesting life. We love learning about our members.

You Don't Need a Kindle to Read a Kindle Book.

Kindle e-readers are fantastic, but you can access your Kindle library on many other devices you already own. You buy the books at Amazon.com, then you can read them using your phone, tablet, or even computer. This article will tell you how, including a video.
