Anyone who knows me knows that I love to read. I saw a cartoon on Facebook recently where the character, sitting in a rocking chair surrounded by books, claimed to have a black belt in reading. If there is such a thing, I certainly have earned it. In the past I would go to the library (we have an amazing library system in Fort Wayne and Allen County) and bring home arm-loads of books, which I would read in a week or two and then faithfully return. That was in the olden days. These days, I can simply access the library on my tablet through Libby, download a book for a 21 day loan, by pressing a 'button' that says BORROW, read it and return it, when finished, with the push of a 'button' that says RETURN. It's an excellent system when all the technology aligns. This morning wasn't one of those times. I had turned on my tablet to read a few pages when a quiet technology tantrum occurred. As I started to read, the page kept going black. I would bring back the screen view, read a few lines, and it would go black again. This happened several times and I was getting very frustrated. This doesn't happen with bound books. Finally I swallowed my pride and asked my spouse for assistance. Being the wonder spouse that he is, he checked out all the settings and everything else he could think of and finally realized that the cover I had on my tablet was slipping a little, and that slippage was just enough to bump a button on the edge which turns the screen on and off. Mystery solved. We took the cover off and the tablet is working like a charm. Whew! For a minute there, I thought I might have to go back to the library.
