00:24:12 ◼   ► use the Kindle again as a dedicated [TS]

00:24:15 ◼   ► separate breeding device because I [TS]

00:24:17 ◼   ► really do think that is a big advantage [TS]

00:25:28 ◼   ► that this is an additional thing I [TS]

00:25:30 ◼   ► really do like that and iBooks is always [TS]

00:25:34 ◼   ► going to lose that battle in that I'm [TS]

00:25:51 ◼   ► I'm still more likely to flip out of it [TS]

00:25:54 ◼   ► whereas with a dedicated device I'm less [TS]

00:25:56 ◼   ► likely to flip out of it so it's always [TS]
