Books - The Best Gift to Send to Whom You Love
If you are not sure what type of gift to give to a young adult, try giving a young adult book. Books make wonderful gift ideas. You can purchase young adult books at any major retail bookstore. The Internet is a wonderful resource for saving money if you know where to look, and books are one of the easiest items to save on, since you never have to worry about fit or color or style. There are many sources for cheap books online, and they are especially valuable for purchasing young adult books.
Young adults outgrow reading levels and interests so quickly that it seems a shame to pay full price for books that will most likely be read once and then discarded. By locating cheap books online through new and used booksellers, you can minimize the expense of keeping up with a young adult's changing interests and provide a wide and ever-changing variety of reading material to keep your teen's interests engaged.
Young adult books are generally written for audiences between the ages of 12 and 18, and deal with themes and topics that are especially relevant to teens. They are usually short to medium length chapter books addressing things like coming of age, dating, friendship, and fitting in, and can provide a means of understanding their own experiences as well as entertainment to the teen reader.
Because young adult books are read at specific ages and then outgrown, used young adult books are abundant. Few people keep young adult books once their children have reached adulthood, and the Internet provides an easy forum for buying and selling used books. From free book swapping sites to online retailers, there are many outlets that offer cheap books online, especially if you're looking for young adult books.
Some popular sources for cheap books online are Amazon.com, Half.com and EBay. At all three, you can find used young adult books at a fraction of retail costs. If you prefer new books, don't worry. Discount retailers like Overstock.com and the online outlets of major booksellers like Barnes and Noble offer new books at a discount from list prices. Be sure to consider shipping costs when looking for cheap books online, because sometimes what appears to be the best price is actually more expensive after shipping costs. Major online retailers frequently offer free shipping for larger orders, so be sure to be aware of store policies. Sometimes buying more can cost less!

Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 1 TB External Hard Drive
Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 1 TB External Hard Drive
Are you running out of hard drive capacity? Do you need to archive some important digital documents photos or music? This elegant external hard drive reminiscent of a book is the perfect solution. It takes no more space than a paperback book. Collect two or more and they nest neatly together like volumes on a shelf.Features * Instant storage * Easy to use * USB 2.0 * Saving and organizing your digital photo collection * System Requirements o Available USB port o Windows 2000/XP/Vista o Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later * In the box o External hard drive o USB cable o AC adapter o Quick Install Guide * Manufacturer Warranty
Customer Review: As advertised
I have tried to extend my storage capacity by buying a mobo with IDE and SATA RAID. This was an ok solution and I had 6 HDDs working for a total of 1.3TBs (200GBX5+320GB), my PC was cluttered with cables and 2 HDDs failed in the first 6 months.
MyBook is the better solution since u dont need to strain ur PC, plus its portable and even goes to standby after few minutes of unuse.
Its also a scalable solution , I have gotten 2X 1TB and I can pick up a new one whenever i run out of space. It dosnt take much space on my desktop and looks cool.
Customer Review: Quiet and Fast but bundled software is 30 Day trial only
I bought one of these a month ago at Costco for about $200 after a coupon. I bought it on the spot with little to no research trusting that if I didn't like it, I could return it. So far that hasn't been necessary since the drive has met and exceeded my expectations after a few gremlins plagued the initial installation.
This is the 3rd WD HDD I've purchased. Historically, I've had problems with faulty WD products, particularly the 160GB portal HDD which I had to return twice because of bad sectors. I did not feel confident that this product would be any less troublesome and it seemed I was correct during installation. It refused to recognize the Desktop it was attached to, restarting everything always turned up different results. Sometimes I could get the devices to see each other only for them to lose the connection a few minutes later, other times I had no luck whatsoever. Finally, after approximately 20 attempts, the HD started working. I was about to return the device right before my last try. I tried this on several PCs with both USB and Firewire connectors and the same results so I'm convinced the HDD was at fault.
The drive is very quiet, more so than my internal HDD. I have it connected via Firewire, which is the fastest conventional external connection.
READ TEST:
* 5000 files (300 MB total) FireWire was 33% faster than USB 2.0
* 160 files (650MB total) FireWire was 70% faster than USB 2.0
WRITE TEST:
* 5000 files (300 MB total) FireWire was 16% faster than USB 2.0
* 160 files (650MB total) FireWire was 48% faster than USB 2.0
There is an eSATA connection available, but I don't have the connector on my PC. It would provide even faster transfer speeds.
The Memeo backup software bundled with the device is 30-Day trial only and not worth purchasing IMO. Although surprising that the software was trial based, I have other solutions and primarily use the device not to duplicate files but to store files apart from my PCs.
Aesthetically, it's neat and attractive with a matte black on metal finish. It has a white LED indicator light bar on the front which provides an interesting light show to externally indicate its current status. Nice functional little detail but I'm not always clear on what each animation means.
