Let me begin by saying that in my rating I listed each individual item as 4 but then gave an overall of 5 stars. My logic is that the challenge, storyline, graphics, and fun are all probably about 4 stars, but the fact that it is happening on a DS is really remarkable, hence the 5th star. I have played a number of DS games with some pushing the limits of the DS and others rather trivial games. Sims 3 does push the DS, probably doing just about as much as you could hope to find in a DS game. In other words, if you buy Sims 3 for your DS and are not pleased, then I seriously doubt any DS game or application will satisfy you. Before you play the game for the first time, clear your mind and do not compare it to what you find on your PC or game console. Compare it to the other things you enjoy on your DS. With that frame of mind, you will find Sims 3 an excellent companion to carry along in your pocket and break out when you find yourself with a little time to kill. Now, with that frame of mind I mentioned, you will realize that compared to the game console, it is really quite comparable in a number of areas. While other reviewers nail down the nuts and bolts of the game, I simply want to assure you that it is not a cheap spinoff to make a quick buck, but a well designed and thought out game worthy to be ranked among the best avilable for the DS. I enjoy it, my 7-year-old daughter enjoys it, and I well imagine you will as well.
What's great about it: Sims 3 is a solid, well conceived, well designed game for the DS, not just a cheap knock off.
What's not so great: It is only "not so great" when you begin comparing it feature-by-feature to the console version.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When you're on the go, record your notes, sketches and thoughts in this journal and use a Pulse Smartpen (not included) to link audio clips to what you have written.

LiveScribe has created a rugged journal to compare with Moleskine. With a hard cover and stitched pages, this journal is designed to be carried about and endure rugged handling. The journal is designed to last a lifetime. In the tradition of quality journals, this one has a permanent ribbon bookmark as well as an elastic band page holder so the book will open to the page you mark. In addition, the journals are numbered 1-8 (so be sure you get the volume numbers you want). Each set has two journals numbered 1 and 2, or 3 and 4, etc. In terms of price, the journals are quite competitive with other journals of such quality. One would consider purchasing these journals for use with any conventional pen, but of course the paper is ready for use with the LiveScribe pen. Excellent journal. Highest compliments to the LiveScribe team.
What's great about it: Rugged cover, stitched pages, ribbon bookmark, elastic band page mark

Excellent quality paper and cover.
FLASH! The notebooks do have 100 pages each as advertised, but each page has two sides meaing you have 200 pages on which to write and draw.
Excellent quality as seems to be all of the LiveScribe line of products.

In Naples Florida where am I able to get lessons or support for the Surface Pro?
I will need instruction to get started.
I will need instruction to get started.
I imagine that a Microsoft store could help you with that but a simpler solution may be to pick up a book for beginners explaining the Surface Pro. There are some wonderful ones out there for those just getting started. Good success with your new computer. I have that model also and have very much enjoyed it.

What to buy
What would you suggest buying a samsunf 2014 or a surface. My husbaand is on the computer alot watchin videos and amoazon along with a few others
I would compare the battery life of the two units you are considering. Since he likes to watch a lot of videos, the one with longer battery life may be the one for him. All the best!

Enjoy your digital books, magazines and newspapers with this Barnes & Noble NOOK Simple Touch BNRV300 digital reader that features a 6" touch-screen display. At 7.5 oz., this device easily tags along when you're on the go.
Can the nook get used by a 6 year old for reading and learning purposes?
Books appropriate for all ages are available through B&N. If you want color and sound, as many children's books may offer, you should consider a color Nook, such as the Nook HD or HD+. Get a good protective case in case the child drops the device.

Can you use books from amazon or other places instead of barnes&noble?
Can you use books from amazon or other places instead of barnes&noble?
Yes. You will have to get the ebook in a format that Nook can read. Loading books into the Nook that are not from B&N is not a complicated task. Do a Google search and you will find many sites that explain the process, step by step.

Do all Barnes & Nobles Ebooks work on the simple touch?
Barnes & Nobles has thousands and thousands of ebooks and I would doubt that every single one will work. For example, the device would not be suitable for books where color is necessary or important to enjoy the book. Novels, history books, etc. will work just fine. I personally have yet to find a book that will not work on the Nook Simple Touch and I have literally hundreds of books.

how can u only dowload books and other media without unlimited access to internet
.I don't want middle school child to have access to internet.
You need to be somewhere where WiFi is available - such as a Barnes and Noble store, a McDonalds, a Starbucks and thousands of other locations. You can also use the WiFi in your home if you have it. There is no charge for downloading books to the Nook through WiFi.

Is This Just For Books ?
Will this work as a stand alone TABLET, without any of the book stuff ?
Most of the devices in this genre can be "rooted" and used as an android device. I am not sure about the Nook Simple Touch specifically, but out of the box it is a reader. It is not capable of playing games like Angry Birds. It is a monochrome screen so you would probably prefer a color device if you wish to play games too.

DOES IT TALK the books ?
Id like to have it READ BOOKS to me while I drive, etc,,,, Can it read the books, or is there a APP Download ?
The Nook Simple Touch cannot read a book audibly. The Nook HD and HD+ can, but the best voice I have found in a reader comes with the Kindle HD. It is not a robotic voice. Stop by Best Buy and listen to the different readers and you decide what you prefer.
