To continue to make gCaptain.com the best website serving the professional maritime and offshore industries, we want your feedback.  We’ve put together a brief (3 minutes tops) survey to find out more about you, our readers.  It won’t ask anything personal, and you won’t even have to leave the site to take it.

to the hardcover. Personally I am a big fan of my Kindle 3G International Edition which lets me download books and newspapers from around the world, but I had never read a blog on the device.

It turns out the Kindle is capable of delivering blog content via Amazon’s “whispernet” international 3g signal, the same way it delivers books and newspapers… no-hassle wirelessly! There is just one catch, the cost of subscribing to a blog is $2 per month. Hopefully you’ll consider this a small price to pay for getting the latest maritime news and headlines streamed to your kindle from around the world but, if you’re skeptical, the subscription comes with a 15 day free trial.
