Our e-reader is known as the Fireside, named after a wonderful place to read. The Shelf is where your books, newspaper subscriptions, and magazine subscriptions. It's located on the bottom third of the Home Screen on the Color and can be swiped up, and as an App folder on the Lighter. The Home button, which returns you to the shelf on the SimpleTouch and GlowLight or the home screen on the Color or Lighter, is a small group of flames. The Fuel port is a reversible 12-pin port, having the fastest data transfer rate of any I/O technology, and having a high charging speed.

We are pleased to announce new libraries will be built in five cities in Separate Texas! Especially in Del Rio. We hope that the literacy increases to at lest 85% by the end of this year. Many works are written in the rich, beautiful language called Spanish, but many of us cannot understand it. Rio Grande Press will help bridge that gap, and will be carried in all BBB stores!

To Ms Rachel Bultimeyer, Head of Sales and Marketing of Birch Bark Books:

Greetings. The Recon Empire Ministry of Culture would like to commission a large construction of 77 libraries all around the empire. The locations are generally the larger cities within the Empire, hence the need of many libraries. We believe it is time for an expansion of knowledge in literature and the arts. As part of our "Artistic Expansion Commission" project, the Crown has allocated a huge budget to be spent on developing the artistic culture of the empire. We hope that Birch Bark Books is willing to accept the commission. Attached is our application form.

We hope you will accept the commission. Thank you, and we hope to hear from you soon.

Signed,
Mr Will Tedi
Minister of Culture
Office of His Majesty's Royal Government

and

Mr Edward Stark
Chairman
Artistic Expansion Commission
