iPad in tow, I'm cur-
rently reading
 THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. iBooks provided the app for free; and I'm in poetic Seventh Heaven. Dumas's writing is exquisite. His story is timeless. This classic has soul. Why have I not read it before?

Since childhood, I've always read with a dictionary in close proximity, keeping tabs on questionable words. With iPad, one simply taps on a word to bring up the option to copy, highlight, note, search, or look up in the dictionary. Pages can be set on white or sepia, which is easier on the eyes. Font size and brightness have their own settings within the app; one does not have to return to main settings. 

Consider further rumination on whether or not you'll invest in one more bite of the Apple.
