Yea, good point. Was thinking this myself. Typing out the outlines helped tactile learning.

I'm a heavy PC user so I will probably operate the e-book quickly. Also I'll download some good programs to read the e-book.

Well the timer works great. It gives me a sense of control. I studied for 8 hours total last couple of days. I can control how much break time I get. No more taking breaks and noticing you've been playing for too long!
