Oh, the book thing! A couple years ago, I bought an audio book on the day of publication. That was amazing to me. The same day it came out for everyone, I bought it as well. *smiles
What is your current iPad model? Also, do you have a braille display? That is a brilliant combo. I use my braille display and iPad mini together constantly. I love it for Duolingo or Memrise lessons. A little braille display and iMessage tip; did you guys know hitting the dot 8 key sends your message off? If you happen to be dictating and hit the dot 8 key, it goes off right away. Lol! I’ve done this on accident and intentionally. ;) If you update your MacBook, at least it’ll be the one with the m1 chip. I’m kind of kicking myself that I bought my MBA just this last Sept. and less than two Months later the m1 chip ones are out. It’s like when you buy something and a week later it is on sale. Lol!
