It's a pdf file. You can choose whether to have one or two pages to view, by using the view menu on your computer. And the Sony Reader will take pdfs, as will the iliads.

Patricia and Nate: Thanks much! The answer to my question, "Have I missed something..." is a definite "Yes." I just assumed when I saw two pages that somehow it wouldn't work. How many ebooks have I passed on because they showed two pages? Thanks again for correcting my bad assumption. Both versions display perfectly on the 505. |

Glad to be of help. jj2me.
NB You can also tweak the size of your PDF viewing window by pulling with the mouse on the botton right-hand corner. I like a single-page view using about half the computer screen. So I adjust the window size and use both the view features and the little + or - buttons until it suits me. This helps a lot when attempting to read a PDF on a computer. |

i'm 51 and grew up in a good middle class neighborhood, but when i was 7 or 10 years old, not a single kid my age was allowed to cross a street alone, play out of site of where their mom could see them by looking out the door or talk to strangers. in fact, there was a pamphlet about not talking to strangers given out by all the local elementary schools. none of us were allowed on a bus without an adult till we were at least 12, either. and i don't recall any kind of crime ever in the neighborhood.
btw, parents when i was growing up spent a lot more time deciding on what their kids could or couldn't watch - i barely know one parent who does this today. and one other thing - when i was growing up, only 3 of the mothers i knew worked. mothers were home with the kids, so they probably didn't need the same level of rules. now that both parents have to work, i expect there are more rules to take place of a parent who's not only there but is also not mentally wrapped up in work or cleaning and cooking frantically after a full time job. |

It seems a lot of the differences listed here tend more toward the cultures of the countries where we live. Here in the US, we tend to go to the extremes.
![]() As for having to sign your children out of school, as an elementary educator I can pretty much guarantee that that has to do more with insurance than anything else. The school sytems fear that if anything happened to a child on the way to/from school that the parents would hold them liable. It sounds ridiculous, but unfortunately, its true. Not that the schools don't worry about the kids. We do, many times more than the parents. However, in today's litigious society, the school systems have to be doubly vigilant. Kaz |

The isolationism caused by television killed the knitting of a community.
