It was the only reference I could get to 'losing the wireless signal when going through a tunnel' I could think of. I just threw it in for a bit of a laugh - the very idea that *I* should travel on public transport .

I don't think Kindles are illuminated, are they?

Nup, not backlit. Apparently they don't need to be. iPads are, which ironically seems to make them worse than Kindles for reading books.

They need to be backlit in the dark :-). Or front lit.

You won't regret it. You'll see some of the greatest quotes of all moviedom, including

"Mostly dead or all dead?"

"So, to the death, then?" "No, to the pain."

"As you wish."

"I'm with the Brute Squad." "You are the Brute Squad!"

"Will it work?" "It'd be a miracle."

"I know a secret you don't: I'm not left-handed."

And of course Mandy Patinkin's "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

All fairly dry, meaninless comments...until you see them in context. One of everybody's favorite films.

I did find the rights management obtrusive though - I had to have the book in my hand in order to read it. What if all books were like that? I travel a lot and if all books were like that, I'd have a bag full of heavy books and no room for anything else!

I was also unable to read the book at night, unless I had a constant light source with me, as the book was not self illuminating. There was no warning about having to have a light source in order to read the book, but luckily I have a fairly reliable electricity supply where I live (some of my friends do not though) so this isn't a problem for me. It's a good job I don't go camping, as the cost of torch batteries in order to use this entertainment product would be very high. Once I tried reading the book on the train, but when it went through a tunnel, I lost the light and was unable to use the book for almost a whole minute until the train emerged from the other end.

I read in another post that they had illumintaed books made by monks in ye olden times, so if they could do that hundreds of years ago, why can't they now? Ye olden times monks knew how to treat their customers!

priceless.

There's something I ought to tell you. I'm not left handed either.

I want to reply to this but I can't without resorting to personal insults...

So I'm gonna use the ignore function instead - figure I won't be missing anything important from this poster.

You really should - it's an absolute classic and still makes me laugh out loud now.

How do you figure that? You need to explain how that abrogates anything Brag said.

Not that I disagree - I don't like this kind of thread either.

Why? What does his screenshot prove?



This screenshot could be used to "prove" the opposite, demonstrating less modding interest in SH5 than SH3.

Now before you and everyone else starts dismissing my screenshot, please consider whether the same dismissings could apply to tonschk's, and I think you'll find they will. Thus proving no more than both screenshots are useless as evidence of anything.

Just another excuse for tonschk to post a screenshot, which I'm sure will be reposted ad nauseam from now to eternity (there's a pun there for the observant).
