Difference between full stop and comma usage when writing dialogue?
I'm writing me second novel. I know, I know. The first one is full of mistakes. But I'd like to do better this time. Can't get my head around the use of commas and periods in dialogue. When I look at Kindle samples for popular novels the rules seem confusing.
For example please explain or correct this…
James looked up at Alfred. "Time?"
"Haven't seen it yet." The Instructor tapped his foot on a red line.
"Well boo hoo," Claire said, "I can't even see the sky."
The dialogue might not make sense. I've essentially copied the punctuation from a Kindle sample that's rated pretty highly. I didn't want to risk offending the author. I would have thought that it should have been written like this:
James looked up at Alfred. "Time?"
"Haven't seen it yet," the Instructor tapped his foot on a red line.
"Well boo hoo," Claire said, "I can't even see the sky."
Note the comma after yet and the non capitalization of the T in the.
Which is correct, or how should it be written?
Added (1). As per the advice given here, I'm looking at some of the published Amazon novels now that I've bought. In a very very popular novel I'm quoting thus:
"She'll be okay, she's a strong one," Calvin says. He holds Lilly's gaze, "How about you?"
then
"I hear ya." He cocks his head a bit, "You're pretty handy with that firearm."
Why is the "I hear ya." finished with a full stop and not a comma? If the comma is correct after strong one, then why does How about you begin with a capital?

Interracial dating is wrong according to this scripture?
But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:
Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.
and when the LORD your God delivers them before you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them. 3"Furthermore, you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor shall you take their daughters for your sons. 4"For they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods; then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you and He will quickly destroy you.â¦
I want you to swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living,
"Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.
And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead your sons to do the same.

Reasoning behind electronic production replacing paper production?
Books. I read somewhere a benefit of reading electronic novels is saving trees. But how when production for these electronics such as Kindle Fire, are made in large factories harming the environment? And trees are being torn down everyday to make way for buildings and franchises. I feel like, as humans, are covering up our tracks instead of cutting back on production and initiating solar Panels and energy saving cars and making recycling a law.
Living in the USA, as an American feels like we steal and steal and steal from other countries but we don't even take care of what we have. And then parade around like we do no wrong. I'm not trying to be Kumbahya or whatever but it's really concerning that not many care about reversing the impacts we've had on global warming.

Pros and Cons of E-Readers?
I'm trying to decide on a e-reader but am suck between two, Amazon's Kindle or a Kobo.
I was told that the Kindle was a waste because if they stopped carrying a book you'd lose it even if you paid for it already. So that made me lose interest but I can't find any information on it so I don't know if it's true.
I just learned about Kobo but it seems to not only have a better price but more options for text format, a better screen, and lighting.
I don't want to spend more than $150 but I really want one. I only need it for reading, nothing else. I love reading and books are expensive and the digital copies are just pennies in comparison.
Please let me know which do you think is better and why.
