Hello Esther, Firstly, I would like to thank you for responding, and the same goes for everyone else who has taken the time to assist me.
In your response,Esther, you mentioned Talking to Siri: Learning the Language of Apple's Intelligent Assistant" by Steve Sande and Erica Sadun. It has been my impression that ebooks can't be read on the iPhone. If I purchase the book, which app should I use to read it?
