The printer used Linotypes for the text and then we had fun pasting up the pages before photographing them for the offset press. I still have my Canadian Linotype line gauge hanging on the wall (aka pica stick, em ruler, etc.). It is also a great back scratcher!

Well, I have used Nooks for a long time. I’ve had many of them. I am not sure why everyone complains about Nook software. I put books on them and read. I love buttons on both sides. I can use single side models (I have an Oasis). I have a Kindle PW4 and I just could not get used to no buttons. I wish I could reliably liberate my Nook books, but that is a whole different issue.
You buy a nook now and it won't have hyphenation. So that lets that out.

Heh. I'd be ecstatic to have a device without hyphenation. Unfortunately Nooks have other faults, so I'm not going to buy another Nook.

OMG! No hyphenation! LOL. The first time I read this I had to go get my Nook to check. Sure enough, no hyphenation. I hadn't even noticed. Apparently, that is not a deal breaker.
