The Day my Nexus 5 broke

10:25 mareku 0 Comments

I had this day today were everything I tried just failed. The mount for my new Garmin 350 GPS on my motorbike didn't fit - so I had to order a replacement and while doing that my Nexus slipped out of my hands on the (concrete) garage floor. Which was the end of the Nexus' screen... Not sure to repair it (€200) or order a new one (€349). What I do know that I stick to the Nexus 5: it is by far the best phone I ever had.

In the Meermanno Book museum a nice exhibition about the comic magazine from the 60's and 70's: PEP.

The first E-Book?

"Host" by Peter James was published back in 1993 on 2 floppy disks. It sold 12.000 copies - not bad at all. However it was not the very first:  Project Gutenberg had been going since 1971 and a lot of books had been published on CD-Roms (think of all the encyclopedias). And what is a book anyway? So maybe we will never know what was the first E-Book - it was probably just a story / blog post on line in txt format.
