Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It will be a free upgrade to existing iPad owners.

Our wings are not tired

It's just the upgrade to iOS4 that will do it Brenda. It is all software.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Goodreader on the iPad has just added full PDF markup in the latest version. I love me my Goodreader.

ND, I tried this last night and (please correct me if I'm wrong) I did some highlighting of text and I think they still have some kinks to work out. What I found is that when I transferred the document to my mac and looked at my annotations with preview, the highlighting covered the words (as opposed to highlight!).

I also found that it was more difficult to do the physical highlighting in Goodreader.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Have you tried the cables one at a time?

Yup - no dice.

How expensive/dificult is it to replace a PRAM battery? I think this machine is due to be replaced next fiscal year anyway, but that's 6 months away.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you've lent a Nook book out, you can't read it yourself? And you certainly can't lend it to someone else, right?

Can you return a book once you've finished it? I don't see why it has to stay out of Erin's library 13 more days, now that I'm done with it.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

You can't read it if it's loaned out. According to the manual, you can only lend a book one time. I didn't know that. But, if the friend refuses the book, it can still be lent to someone else. You have 7 days to accept or refuse.

Part of the manual says you have it for 14 days unless you return it sooner. The part that talks about returning it says it expires in 14 days and doesn't say anything about returning it sooner. So... I don't know. There might be a "return" button somewhere on the "read more' part of the book description.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

You can only lend it once? Huh. That sucks.

Oh, well, at least I can help 1 other person with their reading crack; god knows these won't be the last ones I buy. It's all good. I can see why they would impose a limited lend, from a money standpoint.

Aha! I found out how to return it (on the web site). Erin, when I'm done with Mockingjay, which will probably the next or the next book after that I read, I'll lend it to you.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hey do our theater tech types have a good online resource for basic stage lighting terminology? Our band`s worship leader is trying to learn, since we`re building our own edifice and thus, stage. He`s got a book, but it`s a bit over his head.
