Dual Kindles
I've been looking for Mami' Kindle, but unfortunately it hasn't shown up. What I want to do it use two Kindles side-by-side. It's the modern version of Heinrich Schliemann's method of going through a book in two languages in tandem.
Using 2 Kindles will save me time. It'll also proof me against losing my resources - as I'll have the same content on each.
Cause see, at the moment I waste time going between the different language versions. Of my 10-minute session, I may look at 10 screens to switch documents. Each switch may take 10 seconds - no, 20, because I need to switch back and forth. So that's 2 times 10 times 10 = 200 seconds of those 10 minutes. That's a third of my time!
In addition, when I get to the point where one of my 'learned' languages is strong enough to support another, then I get to 'save' even more time. I could double, say Italian with French and improve the skills of two birds!

Books by Kindle
I can't believe that it's less than a month since I returned from Japan. At that time, I was able to make a start on six of my twelve languages, thanks to my Kindle. On it, I had enough to make a start on half of my languages.
- In Dutch, I had De Chirug by Tess Gerritsen (The Surgeon)
- In French, A l'est d'eden by John Steinbeck (East of Eden)
- In German, Pippi Langstrumpf by Astrid Lindgren (Pippi Longstocking)
- In Japanese, マジックツリーハウス by Mary Pope Osborne (Magic Treehouse)
- In Spanish, Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal by J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone)
- And in Polish, Jednym strzalem by Lee Child (One Shot)
