16:06 pdurbin edburns: you too! so that tweet of yours: https://twitter.com/edburns/status/548489991790161921
16:06 pdurbin "Got an @AmazonKindle for Christmas. That plus @Oracle's all-you-can-read @safari subscription promises to make 2015 a year for growth!"
16:06 pdurbin I'm curious how this works... Are you using a web browser to read the books? From the Kindle, I mean.
16:07 pdurbin Or do you get the whole book in Kindle format (.mobi or whatever) and can read the whole book offline?
16:08 pdurbin I have access to all-you-can-read on Safari but I use a web browser and can't go offline.
16:29 edburns pdurbin: The Oracle safari subscription grants each employee a certain number of tokens that can be used to download .mobi titles.
16:29 edburns pdurbin: Do you have the safari app?
16:29 edburns It has this "offline bookbag" feature that does what you want without having to use a proper browser (though I wager the app is cordova based)
16:31 pdurbin huh. sounds nice. I installed the "Safari to Go" app on my Android phone and if I tap "Alternate Sign in" it prompts me for an "Organization ID".
16:32 pdurbin being able to download .mobi files sounds ideal. would be worth buying a Kindle
