The sooner you use the new name the faster the old entries will disappear.

I wouldn't worry about Google kicking you out over having too many domain names - they're much friendlier than Paypal.

HOPE you’re right , then we’ll give us a new name soon.

6 short stories. Total 240 pages. Simplified Chinese with Pinyin. Some terms are explained in English. With MP3 CD. Speaker in the CD is the same lady as on JianDanDeNanti, with a nice voice. I haven't really read much into it but looks not too difficult.

We just found these books and added them to our site, it’s said by the content that they’re suitable to beginners with “300词级”, is that so?

Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Great! Now I have new reading material.

I've been trying to hang with the book of the month club, but it seems I can't go one sentence without having to lookup a word and then becoming confused about what is being said.

Try 哆啦A梦 (Doraemon) comic books. They can be found in any major bookstore, are fun to read, and relatively simple. I personally cannot stand these contrived or 'simplified' readers! Also, move on to real books (e.g. 小王子/The little prince) quickly and read them in something like Wenlin - it's not as hard as you'd think and you learn a lot very quickly.
