OT e-reader solution
I guess I've worn all the fingerprints off my fingers quilting. Do you
think? A dear friend has given me a Sony e-reader whatever sort of book. I love it. BUT. The way to turn it on and off is a silly nubby little sort of slider thing on the top edge. My fingertips won't 'do' it. I don't want to harm the precious book so I'm using a soft wooden cuticle pusher manicure tool to start/stop the rascal. It is not a highly technical problem that requires someone named Peggy in Wallahollabangodia to transfer me to a robot over. Any ideas? or should I just go rob a safe since I reckon my fingerprints are unidentifiable and useless? In this economy, there's probably no money in the safe anyway. Polly |

Wonder if a rubber finger cot thingie would work? Some people keep
them in the sewing basket for pulling stubborn needles. Doesn't the gadget shut itself off if nobody turns pages for a while? Then you'd only have to turn it on, save yourself half the misery.

Do not rob a bank. Although the banking industry has gotten away with
robbing the rest of us, we do not ever get away with robbing them -- even if we are missing finger prints. You'd have to do a D.B.Cooper thing and that probably wouldn't work without fingertips, either. Dang. I like Kay's solution. And the finger cot sounds logical, too. Sunny will visit you in prison if you go ahead with bank robbery |

We'll start collecting Bail. Just let us know when and where to send it.

And pray tell what is wrong with using the cuticle thingy? Seems like
a fine solution. I have the Sony reader. It lives in my purse and goes with me EVERYWHERE. The sliding thingy is really quite smooth/easy to move and the little nubs will keep your cuticle thingy from slipping. Looks to me that you have already found the solution! Claudia |

Not to worry about bail money. In the 1st place, the temp here's going to
106° today and I'm not going to rob a safe unless they deliver it to me. Secondly, the sheriff can't afford to arrest anybody since there's not enough in his budget to keep 'em in jail; just too hot to bother. I'm enjoying the Sony reader but I'll always love 'real' books. Polly "claudia" wrote in message ... And pray tell what is wrong with using the cuticle thingy? Seems like a fine solution.

My Kindle will shut itself off in 10 minutes if it hasn't been
disturbed for that long. I love my Kindle. I'm finding it's much easier on my eyes than books are (especially paperback books with the tiny print). I use my fingernail (I keep my fingernails cut pretty short) to turn off my Kindle.
