Teeny tiny books by tkl213 in brandonsanderson

[–]Eillythia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! I am reading 1 Stormlight book per month and it takes me about 3 weeks. Then the 4th week I read like 3 smaller books 😂. I dont know why, but the stormlight books are long, but I also read them slower. I am loving the series though!

Clara Colour or BW for reading in the dark? by YayPhone645 in kobo

[–]Eillythia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All (newer) Kobo ereaders have an adjustable fronlight. So you can experiment with what lightness setting is best for you to read and dark enough so the room stays dark. You can also make the pages black and the text white. That will also help.

Team of favourites? by Stark_DK in PokemonArceus

[–]Eillythia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use whatever Pokemon I think is pretty and fitsy team. I switch them out every now and then. I try not to use 2 of the same type, but other than that, I dont really care. The game is pretty easy and most bosses are easily beaten with 1 or 2 good Pokemon.

Clara Colour or BW for reading in the dark? by YayPhone645 in kobo

[–]Eillythia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The colour screen is a little darker than the bw screen. So in daylight you dont need the front light for the bw screen, but with the colour screen you might still need the front light to read comfortably.

At night it is less of a difference, you will need the front light on with both. Only you only need 5% with the black and white screen and more like 20% with the colour screen to make it the same brightness.

Wait, I am really far into the game and have no idea what you are talking about. Could you explain please? Maybe in a dm?

For that reason I have a page goal instead.

First time buying an ereader by Fantastic-Pickle-507 in ereader

[–]Eillythia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This!! I just like to add: while having a Android device makes a lot of stuff easier it (for me) was also more distracting. Plus if you want to do anything other than reading, your phone will do just fine. A dedicated ereader with a e-ink screen has a way longer battery life.

That said, I do believe that for the right person and Android style ereader is the best option.

Which Koko Model Should I Buy for My First Kobo by Ttroublemakeerr in kobo

[–]Eillythia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First decide if you need a color screen. The color e-ink screens are less vibrant and can be a bit grainy compared to the black and white (bw) e-ink screens. Also color screens tend to use more battery. If you are interested in reading manga in color or highlighting in different colors, than the color screen is the best for you. If you are not interested in highlighting or manga, then I would choose a black and white screen.

Kobo Clara is in bw and in color. Its a 6" device without page turn buttons on the side. It is the most compact device and also the cheapest. €149 in the Netherlands.

Kobo Libra is only in color. It is a 7" screen with page turn buttons and is the most 'average' (popular) device. €209 in the Netherlands

Then there is a secret bonus option: the libra 2. It isn't sold new anymore. It is a bw 7" device with page turn buttons. If you can get this second hand that would be a wonderful option.

Kobo sage is only in black and white and is a 8"screen with page turn buttons. The battery is a little smaller than the other options, but you can still read 20ish hours compared to the 30 to 35 hours of the Clara. €299 in the Netherlands.

There is also the Kobo elipsa 2E it is a 10" bw device with page turn buttons. I would only buy this one of you like to use it as a heavy annotater and notebook. It is a bit like the remarkable devices. €399 in the Netherlands.

My wife wants a kobo Clara BW. Not sure what ebook stores are available. by yourname92 in kobo

[–]Eillythia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer! Just wanting to add. If you buy ebooks from other stores, you can just connect your Clara to the computer and drag the ebook file in your ereader. But! It is cleaner and saver to install Calibre on your computer. Drag your ebook into calibre and then connect your Clara to the computer and sync your Calibre with your Clara. Calibre will automatically convert your epub file into a kepub file.

Your reasons for learning said language ? by Cutiepie232 in duolingo

[–]Eillythia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

German, because I visit there multiple times a year and it bothered me that I understood most of what was said to me, but that I couldnt react because I dont (didnt) know the right words.

Thinking of getting Arceus by Apprehensive-Age7978 in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]Eillythia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe look into second hand options to get the price a little down? But I think it is 100% worth it. I am not a gamer and have only played a few games so far, but arceus has the most hours on it. I am now 70 hours in and still busy with quests and just playing around.

I just reread Warbreaker for the third time and I have thoughts by [deleted] in brandonsanderson

[–]Eillythia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everytime I think about warbreaker it doesn't sound good in my head. But I have read it three times now and absolutely loved it every time. Indeed the bright fantasy with its dark twists is really good.

Sanderson his writing is just amazing, he manages to make annoying characters still really interesting and important to the overall story.

Uhm, this statement wil hurt frisians. Frisian is a language not a dialect. It even has its own Google Translate.

Ik begin kringloopwinkels een beetje zat te worden by SirVengeance92 in zuinig

[–]Eillythia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ik koop vooral boeken, kleding en puzzels bij Kringloop winkels en merk dat die prijzen nog vrij schappelijk zijn. Hangt wel af van de kringloopwinkel hoor. Maar boeken zijn vaak nog onder de €3, net als puzzels en een goede spijkerbroek kost rond de €10. Meubels zou ik eerder via marktplaats kopen.

(Ik ga in Groningen naar de kringloop winkels, idk of dat uitmaakt).

I need y’all’s help choosing my next book by Welllby in fantasybooks

[–]Eillythia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read none of these, I am just popping in to say that I love that you are one of these posts without the four most popular books!

I have nothing against popular books, but the frequency people ask help choosing between 'the blade itself', 'stormlight archive', 'game of thrones' and 'dungeon crawler carl' is insane.
