By the time PBS got to me I knew I would be working 12/24-12/25.

So I did not even ask for those days off!! I just said ok if I have to fly I want these trips!!

Well it says my very first choice was pulled during a reshuffle. Instead of being with relatives over 12/24. I have two trips one ends too late to get home 12/24 and then I have another trip leaving on 12/25! Perfect if I lived in base!

But the kicker! My very first trip that I wanted is still in open time!

W T F??

anyone know why??

Did you originally ask for back to back trips? Is there a rest conflict? 30/7 issue?

IMO, they serve two different purposes.

If she's mainly using it to read, I'd get the Paperwhite. My wife and I have owned many models of Kindle over the years, and for pure reading, the e-ink models can't be beat. We also own iPads, and while those are great for internet and media consumption (movies, games, etc...) - the screens aren't ideal for extended periods of reading, especially in bright light.

That said, if you're looking for a full-on communication device that'll let her browse the net, write e-mail, and so on - get the Fire (or iPad Mini). If she's a big reader, you'll be buying her an e-ink Kindle later on anyway.

Would your preferred trip put you outside of the LCW? That bought me a 3 day uncummutable on both ends vs a 4 day commutable both ends that paid 4 hours more.
