Loving the book

A friend of mine came over for tea yesterday.  She has an e-reader.  She was unable to get it to let her read.  Asking her beloved, men always know these things, right?, and he gave advice. She followed his advice.  Twice, to be sure.  Nada.  Nothing.  No action.  Without giving in to the madness of doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different response, she called tech support.*  She was helped.  And I thought (after 'I love tech people like that'): Tech support.  Give me a book.



*The lovely (a comment on personality and duty qualifications) woman at tech support said,
"See x icon on the left?' 
"Yes."
"Click that."  Pause.
"See y icon?"
"Yes."
"Click that." Pause.
"See z icon on the left?"
"Yes."
"Click that."
Voila, she can read again.
