It seems to be behind many good activities and efforts in our country's history.You are right on the clarification of Tor as not truly peer-to-peer. I suppose I am looking at a way to clearly communicate that it isn't strictly point-to-point like a normal web request or proxy. Perhaps the “layers of the onion” is the best analogy to use.

I have the Nook Classic (the one in the top pic on this post), but it’s serial number is 1003+ so i think i have to softroot it. Can you perhaps send me instructions via email about how you got it to work on the old Nook? Never rooted before…

Many thanks!

I, for one, am quite giddy with excitement at the prispect of having my Nook fully support Tibetan u-chen script! In fact, i bought my Nook originally for the purpose of being able to easily carry my Dharma texts wherever i go... especially overseas. If you could teach the rest of us how to do what you have, you would benefit many sentient beings by helping spread the teachings, garnering lots of pristine merit in the process! Sincerely, Jeff Dear Nathan-la,
