Gentlemen,
Russell Still (Gold Seal Incorporated) was carrying around a
Kindle DX (latest version w/larger screen) with approach plates at Oshkosh this
year. Take a look at it at www.airbrief.com.
I introduced some of you to Russell before the LOBO dinner at Oshkosh, but he had
to leave before the food for another engagement. He has an interesting product.
Some information below, plus the web site. I have no financial or other
interest in these products other than the hope to use the Kindle DX/Approach
Plates myself.
