Snap Mini Quads

[FrankJL]

I've just come back to being active in the church after being inactive for several years, and I remember back when I first joined my elders having little quads that had a snap cover.

Did they stop making these at some point? I can't find one anywhere, i've looked on the lds distro, deseret book and a few other sites and I can't seem to find one. I would really like one to keep in my bag to be able to read between long class breaks.

Check out Ebay there is just one that I found.

LOL. I thought this thread was going to be about little quads that you ride. I'm looking for a small quad for my son.

Yeah, they're gone. I was saddened by it when I went to buy new scriptures as mine were wearing out. When I couldn't find my quad with a snap cover, I sent mine off to be fixed so that I could use it some more.

I don't know why they quit, but I can't find them anyway (new).

Perhaps the missionaries were getting snappy with the scriptures.

OK,

That was bad.

I know. Still, there is a twinge of a smile on my face, I don't know why.

My main scripture set is one of those little quads with a snap. I wonder if in thirty years or so I'll be able to read the small print. I am a little past halfway through making this set into a full colored-letter edition. I hope to be able to finish that and keep it for the rest of my life for reference.

I think the snap helps preserve the set. I still have a set my dad bought in the 1970's that has zippers. They are in extremely good condition. I would go for zippers if they had that these days.

At the end of the 1980's I once said: 'I wonder if one day books won't even be books anymore, what if our scriptures were more like a game boy?' I now have all the standard works in my phone, I can flip it out and peep verses right there.

If in the next few decades a new edition is released with a whole new lay-out we will all be thumbing through it forever trying to find anything as did my Dad's generation when the current edition dropped. However, I seem to use digital scriptures so often now that I am less and less reliant on the lay-out.

I remember when they quit making the snap, I can't remember why. Ebay or Obi Wan is your only hope.

A-train..

How do you have the scriptures on your phone?

I have a Dell Axim PDA with them on, but not my phone.

I have an LG Env phone, that I use a lot for webbrowsing and e-mail (the flip keyboard is really nice for e-mail and txt msging

Deseret and Latter-day Harvest seem to have run through the stock they had. Too bad; those were pretty handy.

[Dr T]

Maybe there's one in a DI near you.

[FrankJL]

DI?

For handheld scriptures, 1st try:

LDS.org

I had to use:

www.skimware.com

If you can't get any of that to work, get googling. Let me know how it turns out.

GOD BLESS

I'm fine with the scriptures on my PDA, I use mobipocket for that, and lots of other books too.

I'm wondering how specifically you got them on your cell phone, unless you have a pda phone, or what model phone do you have?
