But a reading of the entire scene reveals Shakespeare had a different meaning for the often used quote than most of the people who use it. It was intended to eliminate those who might stand in the way of a contemplated revolution -- thus underscoring the important role that lawyers can play in society. |

My last experience of the above ended with my wife's following quote, "I can't help it. The map is WRONG.", as we aimlessly wandered the backroads of rural Georgia, totally lost in the night. |

A headphone, earphone or earbud may only be used in one ear, and only if it is part of a hands free telephone function. Using it for a function other than hands free telephone if the device is capable of another function in addition to the telephone is prohibited. Basically, you must use the car's speakers to listen to an audio book which means no passengers allowed. I actually queried one publisher about how the policy would apply if I had my mother-in-law who was deaf as a post and a non-speaker of English as the only passenger in the vehicle. The response was that I would be violating their rights. I have seen people dialing and chatting on their cellphones, texting, doing their eyelashes, breast-feeding a baby (this while driving at ~100km/h!) and pretty much any other activity that anyone with a moiety of common sense would avoid while driving at any speed.

Ahh, you're (comparatively) new to MR. Topic drift is a fine old tradition here. As far as I can tell, there wasn't much new to add after the first post! Speculating on unannounced products is also a fine old tradition.

Am I the only Kobo forum member despairing that apparently only Kobo forum insiders understand the devious manners by which we keep threads we like alive?

Sadly no physical page-turn buttons. Definitely liking the look of the less recessed screen, though.

It's a shame they didn't revise the Aura HD, even if it was only to change the case to a soft touch material like almost every other reader out there. That's the only thing that's making me dither over getting an HD.
