Study Room Guidelines

Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.

We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

    I know. it's like they took a kindle and made it work without having to charge it! But the multiple screens seem confusing. And how do you download new novels?

      I got this "book" thing in the mail today! It is amazing! It has over 375 screens in it, and it works without batteries! That subtitled help desk video really helps too. It took me a while to figure out how to open it, but after watching the video I figured it out. But for some reason all of the text is upside down. any ideas?

        Notice how each screen has an image on both the front and back?

          It comes with its own stable independent internal gravity field, so that whichever way the book is pointing, the text is pointing the same way, and it's own inbuilt spatial awareness game, like trying to dock with a space station without a docking computer in the original Elite, just match your rotation with the book, and everything falls into place.

            OK but I don't know how long I can read standing on my head.

              Alternatively you could go the easy route and, using the book as an anchor point, rotate the entire universe around it until the two gravity fields are aligned. That way there will be no need to stand on your head and get the dirt from your shoes in your hair.
