How Dropbox saved my Kindle and kept me from destroying my Google CR 48

Okay…. so I have been living my life from Google’s Beta Chrome laptop for the last couple months… And it’s great for the most part. Boots fast. Does most of what I need it to do. But it doesn’t have a freaking file browser… and that’s a big problem:

The unfortunate bits come into play regularly… but that’s just part of the program when you’re working with alpha-release softwares i guess.

So tonight when I vanquished my Kindle against the bottom of an umbrella, it was a real bummer. But they’re sending me another STAT, so that’s fine. But what about the books that I got from project gutenberg? Am I supposed to redownload those to the Kindle (through another alpha-release Kindle Web Browser)? I think not. 

Fortunately, though… dropbox is there to save my life. I’m currently uploading all the books from my old, busted-ass kindle to the Dropbox (2free gigs) and afterwards I will be able to download them to the replacement device. Sweeeeet.

PS. Amazon is sending me a replacement, because “my screen doesn’t seem to work anymore” 

If you want to checkout www.dropbox.com, I think they’re pretty cool and signing up through that link will get me an extra GB of storage with them :)
