Say I sure understand the phone, where yes you will learn how to do all 
of those things.
It is really fun.
When I know of an author I wish to read from, I will try to get as many 
books by this person as I can.
Sure saves on travel time when you can read.

>> Hi folks,
>> Today I decided to miss mass and Jim went with me to the new library
>> that opened this last Monday.
>> We wanted to take a tour where they were quite busy giving other
>> tours. So they took our phone numbers and names to call us when it
>> would be a good time to do this.
>> We didn't feel unhappy about this, sense they took the numbers.
>> What we did though was to get library cards.
>> This is the first time that I have ever had a public card.
>> They shared that we could take a book home if we wanted to do so.
>> We also learned that we can down load books onto our I products.
>> They helped us fill out the paper work as well as reading the numbers
>> to us from each card.
>> We will wait for a month if we don't hear from them, then we will call
>> again.
>> We were wishing that we had an app that we could scan the page of the
>> book and have it read to us.
>> Ted have you done this with your phone with a library book, and if so,
>> how well did it read?
>> Jim thought that your phone was still a better deal at this time until
>> someone improves and updates the I products.
>> We also learned that anyone across the state can get a library card.
>> Just wanted to share on behalf of our fun day.
>> I am sure Jim will share more about the day when he gets to reading
>> the list.
