I've been seeing a lot of parked cars with both Lyft and Uber stickers. I worry that after they work their 10 hour shift for oee company they move on and work another 10 hour shift at the other.

It's not easy, and every few years the way you have to do it changes, but if you don't do that, you can't take ebooks out of the library, so it's worth the pain.

Other ebook readers download the whole book when you open it, and you can continue reading even without an internet connection, but for some reason Google play books needs to contact the mothership every few pages, or if you want to change the color scheme (which I do twice a day) or the font size.

On the other hand, the first novel submitted as a typewritten manuscript was "Huckleberry Finn", so not everybody who thinks about new writing technology is a bad writer.
