If I edit three posts in a short period of time, I get locked out for several hours before I'm allowed to edit any more posts. I'm currently locked out.

You think it due to links being added? Maybe that is why.

That's not it. I frequently edit posts without adding links.

I also have the same problem when updating the audiobook specials thread.

An SD card slot on an Android tablet is pretty much only useful if you want to store movies or tons of music.

Your best bet is to get a tablet with 16 or 32 gb internal storage, and not worry about an external card slot.

Some tablets have the capability to read from USB drives. And there are wi-drives that can be used, as well, for example to stream a movie to your tablet.
I thought I needed a card slot, but in reality I don't. For a traveling tablet, 32GB is more than enough for me and for a streaming at home tablet, 8GB is plenty. And like you said, there is the option to use either OTG or wireless drives.

Here are a couple of very portable options:

Monkey typing must be limited. Given enough time, a chimp punching at random on a typewriter would almost surely type out all of Shakespeare's plays.

That actually happened. One of my great uncles did just that, only the resulting timeline ended up a disaster (see Planet of the Apes). So a time traveler came back and took the typewriter away from him. Instead of being the father of a new world order, he ended up being a trapeze act in a circus.

Here's a really small one - I have the original version and just keep it on my key chain it's so small.

Very odd. I would contact the admin about it. I am the queen of the Edit and never have a problem.

I have and they explained there was a forum rule concerning it. I forgot what the reason was.

When you edit, do you edit 3 or 4 different posts in less than 5-10 min?

You will love it. I'm surprised I like mine as much as I do. I really like the size of it. I had the original Fire and wasn't using it much lately at all. In fact my daughter had it. When the Best Buy offer came I got it back from her and traded it in. So happy I did.

I already ordered the case. It should arrive late next week. I paid $10 for it and it's now back up to $20. The HD 6 will be my primary at home streaming device. Not sure what I'm gonna do with my 1st gen Fire HD. I don't need both.

I have the HD6 and I'll send it back. I bought it for TTS exclusively, but it's such a brick of a device for its screen size that I only used it once since I got it. I am sending it back and maaaaaybe will be buying it during BF for the $80 deal, still debating, because I just never touched it again and it's sitting in a corner.

In regards to the N7, I want something with a larger screen, above 8 inches, and with a built in SD card slot. 4:3 aspect ratio would be preferred, but since i sent the N9 back, there are no other high end options out there... Plus I want android 5. First world problems

I bought this one for 8.99 a few months ago and it's awesome (works with Andoid and with my Win 8.1 tablet) but I still prefer to have a built in SD card slot for my next tablet.
