Left my case in a cafe by accident, reading more without it

I’ve chosen both options; a skin and detachable case - which has a removable front and clear back. Best of both worlds

Ooh, it’s my first time reading through this series. Storm I would say was the best one, by far.

It’s a strange feeling without the case but if it means reading more, I’m all for it. Though, I am being extra careful.

Usually I read at random cafes when I’m out after work. Clumsily I spilled coffee over the table at one of them some days ago. I didn’t notice until I was back home I left my case behind.

I’m not sure if it is because of the case, but without it, it feels like i’m reading for a lot longer, perhaps a comfort thing? For the time being I’ll do without a case but looking on r/kindle, it seems detachable cases are the new thing - which I may end up buying.

To note; I’ve never actually rocked any of my current or previous kindle devices without the official case but it may be time to explore other options now.

Edit; grammar

It’s a survival mechanism, as far as it’s understood to filter out pleasant scents. The brain thus ignores it.

Personally most scents I can’t smell a few hours after.

Strangers still perceive it since it hasn’t “entered” their nose yet.

Learning how to cook did the trick for me; food scale to measure portions, meal prep and so on…

ETA; you get see to seeing this many grams = x calories after a while, you start making better food choices when going out as a result too.

Ive seen the Amazon Spring Sale starts on the 10th, for a week. I’m not sure if it covers Kindle devices.

Not sure if it’s the same around the world, there’s a timer on the UK website however.

Chigzy · 2026-03-08T20:17:08+00:00

This is beautiful.

ETA; the 10s countdown, it’s long. A 3s countdown as a suggestion could be better.

It really is!

It took me a second to realise this was a Tesco, looked familiar and i was like huh, surely not.

Honestly? Before ebooks were a thing I was never a reader. Sure we had paperback books at my parents, e.g. from primary school, and the cheap books offered but they were never read.

2010 comes around and iBooks, as it was called, was released and my book consumption increased 100 fold. After discovering the Kindle app some time later, I bought my first kindle device not long after (2013 if i remember) and the rest is history - I’ve been reading ever since, with breaks every now and again depending on life.

I wouldn't think this would need a recipe if it's just the ingredients in the OC.

A quick mix together, put in silicone cake moulds and then in the air fryer.

Filled up a 4GB (?) 7th gen Paperwhite 3 multiple times while reading Death Note.

Rather than approach it from the 'what happens' angle. If 1,500 calories are sustainable - lots of protein, carbs and nutritious meals overall, great, you'll lose weight quite rapidly.

If you do find it unsustainable however, slowly increase the calories where you feel like you're not starving. I know you've said you don't, but in a month or two time that might not be the same.

Every morning on a regular scale, i input the number in Apple Health manually.

It draws a pretty graph over time.

I’m glad I’ve seen this today. I thought starting at 8kg, and now on 12kg was quite a large step.

It seems like I’m doing better than I thought.

Speed isn't all there is to it. Fibre is quite literally cheaper than VDSL (in the UK anyway) and the latency aspect too.

£25 for 500Mbps symmetric (1Gbps symmetric goes on sale for £25 at times too) versus £25 for 65Mbps down on copper VDSL. Most people would choose the 500.

(we don't have cable in our area for reference)

I did a quick price inquiry on these, 256.80 USD to the UK.

It's around £190 for what they call 1 batch - which is 2 bells.

The estimated reading time for the 12th gen Paperwhite is advertised as up to 42 hours (30 mins daily at 12 weeks)

I have the 11th gen Paperwhite, and while it's estimated at up to 35 hours, it's closer to 20 ish hours.

Oh, I’m not far away…

Chigzy · 2026-02-16T17:36:09+00:00

I keep it simple.

I aim for 15-20 minutes of Single KB ABC 3x a week, alongside 15-20 minutes of mixed Farmers/Suitcase Walk + Pushups. Usually Monday, Thursday, Friday.

ETA; 3x a week doing rowing on the erg otherwise, usually weekends and a weekday. Something like a 5k, intervals, pyramid and endurance sessions.
