First thing that came to my mind was that having orthodox Jewish texts on an ereader seems like the most useless thing ever because they would be unusable when most needed
(presumably on the Sabbath
). Apropos of nothing, just noticed yesterday that my parents' oven (which we were trying to fix) had a "Sabbath mode" listed in its manual
(yes, that's what they
called it
- I assumed it made all the electric features turn off).
