[gemma is sitting in her living room, curled up in her arm chair with her comm resting on the arm to record her. pippa is sitting with her huge head in gemma's lap. gemma herself is cradling a small device in her hands, one that looks like a tablet. she also looks incredibly pleased.]

I recently purchased this and I've found that even after all my time here, there's so much good literature that I haven't yet read. And I suppose that now I have a bit more free time, at least for a little while, that I may as well put it to use. [A beat. She clears her throat and pats Pippa's head when she sits to look up.] Well, because of that I should really get more up to date on what's available, and how it's available. And Angie suggested that I ask the network, since it seems as if quite a few of you are savvy with this sort of thing and might know how to go about it.

Right, so I suppose that this is a roundabout way of asking if anyone would like to be my, ah, Nook Friend? I believe that's what it's called. [She looks down at the tablet, checking.] Yes, Nook Friend, that's it. I do hope that any of you with a Nook will be willing to share. Economizing and all that.

I do apologize. I understand why you think that, but it is ignorance. [as much as she hates to admit it] There is the option of education, but it isn't as if we can teach ourselves things we don't know.

If you would point me in the direction of some texts I might peruse to become acquainted with your culture, I should be happy to read them. If there are no such texts, then I should have to ask you to tutor me yourself.

You Might Find Someone More Willing However

If you aren't willing to teach me what I don't know, then I don't believe you should be offended at my ignorance, as you're making no effort of your own to correct it. But aside from that, if you could recommend someone more willing, then I should be glad to take a tutor.
