Kindle thinks I like what?

I love my Kindle. I really only read books on my Kindle. I may be a technology laggard in every other aspect, but with Kindles, I'm all "Hey Pres, did you see the new Kindle? Paper white! OMG! Like totally! I know I have a Kindle that came out, like, last year. And another Kindle sitting in a drawer next to my passport and my 2004 iPod Nano, but PAPER WHITE! OMG!" And Pres is all "Hang on, I'm cataloging my Apple products museum right now, I don't have time for this Kindle. You should ask Seri about it."

When you read books on a Kindle, sometimes you see these phrases underlined. This means that A. You underlined these excerpts because you liked them, or B. Kindle wants to show you that 96 other people liked and highlighted the phrase, so you should know that it is a good one.

Sometimes these phrases are really thoughtful, or big moments in the book that change everything.

But the one I just read in Stephanie Plum #16 was this:

"I'm wearing four inch slut shoes. I can't kick a door down in slut shoes. It isn't done. You need boots to kick a door down. Everyone knows that."

They do now, Kindle. They do now.
