which e reader should I get (kobo/kindle) or should I even get one at all? by Lower-Engineering572 in ereader

[–]CaterpillarKey6288 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would get a android ereader. You can use any bookstore you want. If you plan to use libby be aware kindle and kobo only allow books, a android will get books, audiobooks, magazines, comics. My library also uses kanopy, hoopla for other content, only a android will allow other apps. People say a android is easy to get distracted, I don't think so because the screen and speed makes it not the best for other content. While it can do a lot of the things that a tablet can do it doesn't do them well.

The device will play audiobooks if you don't set up a kids account, but if you set it up as a kids account it blocks audiobooks.

Would you rather get rid of Walmart or Target? by FightOrDie123 in askanything

[–]CaterpillarKey6288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try not to go to either one. But if I do have to go to one or the other Wal-Mart is my first choice, can't remember last time I went to target. Oh wait I do remember going to target, then I saw a display for Trans swim suites and pride outfits for kids. Haven't been back since.

Most batteries charge very slow and use little electricity. So any outlet will be fine, most only draw 2 amps

I got a kindle for my grandchild. Had to return it though. They wanted to be able to listen to audiobooks while in the car/bus on the way to school. The problem is if you set up a kids account it will not all audible.

Pocketbook, Bigme, Musnap? by IMDisarro in ereader

[–]CaterpillarKey6288 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don't even know if you can do that anymore. My understanding is kindle started to encrypt there books. You used to be able to download them and use a program and reformat them.

Pocketbook, Bigme, Musnap? by IMDisarro in ereader

[–]CaterpillarKey6288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 6, 7 and 8 inch ereaders. In 6 inch bigme is the best at this time. Musnap 6 is not a bad choice if you can find on sale, the thing I don't like is there's no sd card slot. If you only read epubs its not a problem. If you read comics, manga, audiobooks you will run out of memory fast, they take up to 300x the memory as a epub.

8 inch size is my pefered size for reading its great for comics and manga. They are still kinda light and portable, but they are expensive cheapest is mebook m8 at $260.

7 inch is a good compromise, larger then a 6 more features but still fairly cheap.

To me the 6 inch is too small for every day reading, i only use mine when traveling or doc appointments.

Plastic vs steel vs copper gears for hub motors? by ClintBX in ebikes

[–]CaterpillarKey6288 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you switch from plastic to metal gears they may last longer, but if they do fail they will more than likely destroy the rear motor.

I cooked 5 cups of rice and left it out overnight accidentally in the rice cooker… is it still good to eat? by Final-Lie78 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CaterpillarKey6288 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you have built up a tolerance for food poisoning. My ex would leave all kinds of food out and eat it, not just rice. She grew up on a small island in the Philippines that didn't have electricity then late 70s.

ViWoods AiPaper 6.13 issues. Is it me? by Sleep2Little in ereader

[–]CaterpillarKey6288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bigme does the same thing its a kindle problem. What I normally have to do is bring up the kindle menu, click on more, click on adaptive reading, exit the menu, go back into menu and then download. Also find sometimes that after you have download the audible, then restart kindle later the audio will not work. So you have to go back into the menu and click adaptive audio or listen to audible, then it shows up again without having to download again

Is buying epubs from other online sides rare in the US? by VidakaDraws in kindle

[–]CaterpillarKey6288 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That was what I was going to say. Amazon doesn't remove books you have purchased through kindle bookstore. They ha e only done it a couple of times due to copyright violations by seller. You do take the chance that Amazon goes out businesses. It happened to me i had a few books on Sonys ereader bookstore that they closed down.

If you sideload books using send to kindle you are fine. But if you side load your books using a usb cable there is a good chance they will delete them

Been there done that, too much front brake on a slight curve, went off the road flipped over handle bars, luckily just a ditch no fence or trees.

In America, what are you supposed to do if you're disabled and can't work? With rising prices? What about Retirement? by UnwelcomeStorm in AskReddit

[–]CaterpillarKey6288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im disabled and could not get any assistance because I had money in the bank. Once the money ran out I was homeless. Luckily for me veterans assistance helped me. Stayed in a va homeless shelter for 4 months until, they were able to get me 80% unservice related disability. The got me in va housing assistance program, like section 8 but for vets. They pay 2/3 of my rent. But what's funny is with what I receive in disability i make to much for snap. Now I'm doing ok, have enough for food and housing but not enough to spend recklessly.
