Yeah, that's what I meant by different contexts, hence my confusion. So over posted & double topics, as well as F-bombs. Gottcha!

Yes, but the case doesn't cover the entire phone and sometimes the phone is out of the case (charging and being used with little danger of being dropped).

I have a white 4s and wish I had gotten the black one.

The reason for this is because there used to be a swear filter here that would change the f-word to 'fata'.

Does anyone here have an e-reader, and get their books through the public library? I've heard this is possible. My wife loves going to the library, but I would like to get her an e-reader and let her have the ability to get the books through the reader...rather than going out in this snow.

I haven't seen the dancing Spiderman fata in ages.

Can someone post it for old times sake?

It is possible for most e-readers/tablets. There's an app called Overdrive that you can use to sync with a library account.

Yes, I do this. You can do it on a Kobo, or also on the overdrive app for iPad.

There was something being advertised at the Calgary public library as well, called, "freading" .

E-books work like regular books. They have return dates like paper books do. You don't actually return them but they disappear or become unusable. I have OverDrive but have not yet used it.

Another good idea, if its available to you, is TracPac. It allows you to manage your account. You can search for books,reserve ones you want, renew...it's excellent. I'm not in Calgary and aren't sure they use it. It's widely used in most centres in Alberta.

I use the edmonton library with my Kobo all the time. It's fantastic. I assume the Calgary library is just as good.

I'm checking out the Calgary Library Overdrive site now. Looks very cool. Everything is pointing towards getting her a Kobo. She doesn't like all the "extras" that tablets have (which is why she doesn't play with my Nexus! ) and she likes to read outside (on days NOT like today) and in bed. Probably going to go with the new 5" Kobo.

Here is the Calgary Overdrive site: LINK

30 day battery life for a Kobo, huge selling feature over a tablet IMO.

Picked up the Kobo Touch Glo (in pink) for her. Plus an extra 32 GB micro SD card for added space. She's gonna love this. I'm impressed with the price. $129 is awesome for an e-reader. After getting some feedback from friends, I decided to go with this one because of the ability for her to get books through the Calgary Public Library, e-ink, Wi-Fi and back-lit display.

Weird request:

Had a handful of people today all agree that I am a dead ringer for a guy in a commercial. I haven't seen it though.

Apparently it is a car commercial. Something about a guy signing autographs at the dealership. Dealership needs someone famous. They want a celeb for their grand opening maybe? "Who, me?" is a line from the commercial.

I dunno. Tried googling it, but found nothing. Anyone know what they're talking about?
