So your solution to a billing issue is to redirect your mail out to a non-existant address. A lot of good that will do you when they sue you in small claims court, and you lose by default because you never got the mail.

Tell me, ku goniff, do you also chase mosquitos with sledgehammers?

Hello.

But the address does exist.
Never seen a mailbox for 2 or more addresses?
How about a house with 2 or more mailboxes at the front door?
Normally this is done for a garage apartment or somebody running a business out of their home or garage but it is not all that uncommon.
In fact, you can do a change of address with this.
Simply put up another mailbox or mark the one already there with ALL addresses and you have it.
I have also used transmitter sites as a valid address, just put the mailbox where the mailman can easily get to it from his route, works well with American Tower sites, have them log you in as a tech to a site once and you will be given the address of whatever tower you need access to.
I do this as freight carriers want a correct address to deliver to and I have no way of transporting a transmitter hut. ;)
But, as long as you are not trying any form of fraud you can do this.
Remember, the goal is to stop them from sending stuff to you, not fail to pay a bill.

Wrong. The goal was to stop them from trying to rip me off with a perpetual self-renewing subscription.

Goal achieved.

On the topic of e-readers, if you have a smartphone (Androod or eyePhone) typically you can get a B&N or Amazon reader which can also download their material.

Assuming of course you can handle reading of a phone screen. I can short term, but for serious, bed wine and smarties time it's the nook or the book.

Hello.

Think about this for just one minute.
You may have heard of this scheme before.
It is used by people who want to disappear for a while or people who need a "drop" address.
The hint of working out of a garage should have been clear enough.

I simple solution is to use something like Mail Boxes Etc, that does not work.
Find a storage center that also does offices and rent a small storage unit.
Use that as your address.
Everyone, including UPS have new rules.

The solution is to pre-print a label and drop it off at a UPS drop box.

For a person who does not smoke weed,,,,,,.;););)

But what does any of that have to do with a subscription renewal issue?

When reading RD, just keep one thing in mind: What is the end-product of digestion?

Kindle is really pretty cool... Bought my wife one several months ago and it pretty much just works: she loves it. It does a few games, too.

I don't think we'll get over the paper vs. electron debate anytime soon. Pick yer poison and just run with it. If it doesn't work for you, don't buy it. Really is that simple.

What's hilarious about the Kindle: Every time she orders a book, I get an email from Amazon to remind me of the order, and it takes about three tenths of a second.

We may own two of these soon.

Is that RD, or Ru-D?
