I can check out e-books for either 7 or 14 days. Most everything I've checked out I've had to go onto a waiting list for, and then had 5 days to check it out after it became available, so I just didn't check it out until I was ready to start reading immediately, and 7 days has been plenty so far.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

I think every library is different. I can check out up to 20 books, have up to 21 days, but only have 48 hours from notification when on the waiting list.

I can get 25 books I think for 21 days. I never need them that long though.

I think I can only have three digital things checked out at once.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Hm, I checked my local libraries. The Oakland Public Library does have Kindle books, but the lending period is only 14 days! And the Peninsula library lets me check out mostly nonfiction and classic books for...24 hours? How do other library systems compare?
I can choose 7, 14 or 21 days and up to six at a time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is an interesting paradigm shift in "passwords" with Windows 8. I have to admit, I'd need to try it to make it make proper sense to me. I don't understand why the concept of it is supposed to be more intuitive.

OK - I've finally edited the text and obtained all the rights I need for the graphic book. Which means I'm almost ready to turn this thing over to a graphic designer.
I have three files. A text only file that includes really extensive instructions. [Insert picturename.tif here.] [The eye should be drawn to this text first] [The eye should be drawn to that text second.] [This next text is a caption. This next text is a footnote.] All instructions and file names are in square brackets and 12 point. Actual text is all in 14 point and not in brackets. Probably as many words of instructions as of text. I also have a summary text file. And I have a graphic mockup, not professional quality but maybe helpful to the designer in seeing what I want to do.
I'm thinking I should also make a "clean" text file. One with just the text, page divisions (so layout knows which page to put what on) the graphic file name, and labeling stuff that is a photo caption or a footnote. First am I right that a graphic designer will need a clean text file to do his or her job right? Second, am I right about what instructions I should leave in the clean file: page numbers, file names and labeling photo captions and footnotes? Or is saying [photo caption] before a photo caption and [footnotes] before the footnote section of the page still too much instruction? Once I have my ducks in a row I'll start approaching graphic designers for bids.
