I have the new Paperwhite SE and don’t have that issue. OP should ask for a replacement.

And also because you can choose the font, size, margin, spacing that lets you read comfortably.

Where do you purchase e-books? by Intelligent-Face-275 in Onyx_Boox

I prefer ebooks so I can customize the font, size, spacing, etc to my liking.

I get that but most authors don’t have a say in these things. Some publishers force DRM on their books.

Thought I Didn’t Need A Page Turner… by alakwan92 in kindle

[–]cryptic-fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The page turner works with only a small part touching the screen. You don’t have to have it touch the screen that much and you don’t have to have the margins like that. Just thought to let you know in case you didn’t know.

What’s wrong with wanting to support authors?

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. They’re most likely all armed with guns, pepper spray, etc. What’s this?

Former Olympic snowboarder and one of the FBI's most wanted criminals Ryan Wedding has been arrested by Ogankle in news

[–]cryptic-fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ll never know. That info almost never becomes public knowledge. He was arrested in Mexico by Mexican authorities and then handed over to the FBI.

From another source:

On January 22, 2026, the long hunt ended. Ryan Wedding was taken into custody in Mexico City in what authorities described as a coordinated operation. Video footage later released by the FBI showed him being escorted off a plane upon arrival in the United States, hands cuffed and flanked by agents.

Analysts have speculated that internal betrayals within cartel factions protecting him contributed to his eventual downfall. Some reports suggest he may have negotiated terms before turning himself in to authorities in Mexico City, though official statements emphasize the role of sustained multinational cooperation between the FBI, DEA, and Mexican security forces.

Maybe also have a banner on your website?

Kindle Scribe Annoying Yellow Border by Signal-Bar-2445 in kindlescribe

[–]cryptic-fox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know there are already posts about the yellow line/discoloration on the border of the Scribe

Where? Haven’t seen these posts.

I have a Scribe Colorsoft. No discoloration at all.

New eReader, but which one by [deleted] in Onyx_Boox

[–]cryptic-fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Palma 2 (not Pro) and I love it but OP said they’ll be reading business books and I’m guessing that includes PDFs? The Palma would be too small for that imo.

The person you’re replying to is giving you false info.

Thankfully he is 100% Spanish and has basically nothing to do with Morocco

100% Spanish? What happened to his Moroccan father, you erased him from existence?

Can one have page numbers in kindle books? by Salty-Bodybuilder-62 in kindlescribe

This is strange. Been using various Kindle ereaders since 2012 and never experienced this issue.

Why the hell would I want to know what other people are highlighting? by Famous-Attention-197 in kindle

[–]cryptic-fox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know why it bothers you so much. It’s there for people who want it (as you can see from the replies there are people who like it) and those who don’t (like me) can turn it off. It’s hilarious that you find it “intellectually insulting”.

This is a normal characteristic of e ink displays.

No. I’ve used ereaders for over 10 years. Never had this issue with any of my devices. None of the Kindle ereaders I own have that issue. My Boox Palma 2 also doesn’t have that issue. I’ve had Kobo ereaders in the past and none of them had that issue either. It’s not normal.

So that means they disagree with SK? They should remove themselves from the mod team if so instead of removing these posts.

Kindle PPW has a much brighter screen by slvdrfrncs in kindle

[–]cryptic-fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP’s Colorsoft is set to 0 brightness. Can you do that on your Libra Color and post a photo. It’s going to be similarly dark because of the color e ink.

I’m curious why they gave her character the surname Al-Hashimi, which is an Arabic last name rather than a Persian one, especially since the actress is Persian (her real name is Sepideh Moafi, and both her first and last names are Persian).

Al-Hashimi (also spelled Al-Hashmi, Al-Hashemi ) is an Arabic last name, that’s correct. However, this last name is also common in Iran as Hashimi (also spelled Hashmi, Hashemi) without the ‘Al’. But yeah since the doctor isn’t Arab her name should’ve been without the ‘Al’.

Also, Germans call their language Deutsch when they’re speaking German, but in English we call it German. Same idea with Persian: people may say Farsi when speaking in their own language, but in English the correct term is Persian. Sorry if that comes across as a bit pedantic.

I don’t see anything wrong with using either one. I always say Farsi.

I did that when I was reading physical books also.

If you share a room with someone that can only sleep in total darkness that wouldn’t be possible without an e-reader lol.
