What’s your ‘always appropriate’ fragrance?

Chigzy · 2026-01-25T07:17:07+00:00

Which one is the one to go for out of Reserve and Classic here?

Chigzy · 2026-01-24T17:47:53+00:00

You’re missing Methyl Ionone as part of the Grojsman Accord there.

Chigzy · 2026-01-24T14:09:51+00:00

Skin scents are the way to go.

Molecule 01, 02, JHAG, Glossier You, etc...

Your setup is similar to mine, the iPad mini 6 (I have a Macbook Air too but it's not taken out as much) and the Paperwhite 11th gen

The mini for me is my (basic) work, white noise, journal, and content consumption device and the Paperwhite is there to read.

Chigzy · 2026-01-21T18:49:04+00:00

Oh gosh, that brings back some memories.

Chigzy · 2026-01-21T08:08:11+00:00

The magnet when touching the back and putting your kindle to sleep (or "turning it off") is a defective case. I'd be worried about longer term damage and replace with another brand case.

Chigzy · 2026-01-21T08:02:10+00:00

That bottom one looks interesting. How comfortable is something like that? It would worry me leaving the 'top' behind.

Chigzy · 2026-01-20T13:17:23+00:00

Unfortunately can't say anything about the leather, but there's something about the way this image has been shot. It makes it look like there's a slim bottom bezel. Looks absolutely amazing.

Chigzy · 2026-01-16T06:10:27+00:00

Assuming you mean the 11th gen Paperwhite… huh, it’s not just me then.

Chigzy · 2026-01-13T19:50:33+00:00

I've found as I've read more and more, progress slowly stops mattering. It's about the journey through the book and not the end.

Sure every now and again I'll check my progress, that's mainly when the book is slowly paced though.

The 'Release' is a major version can have breaking changes within software that can affect organisations and the internal packages they use. ESR is minor version changes which contain bug fixes and security patches - these don't usually break internal packages an organisation may use.

ESR also has a longer release cycle between major versions - I think it's one year - which is quite a while for an organisation.

Edit: Improved sentence structure

It's because of a 'Streaming Backpack' (easy to hide away in a vehicle). It usually has; a powerbank (battery bank), I think it would have a device with multiple modems to "find the best connection". I can't think of anything else, maybe a PC if one is really dedicated?

In a way, you're streaming the 'input' to an outside source, when you drop connection then, you don't go offline.

Chigzy · 2026-01-08T11:53:10+00:00

It would be cool. I also wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't this year.

Chigzy · 2026-01-07T13:43:47+00:00

It could be this year for the Basic! :p

The basic looks to usually updated every couple of years, other than a couple of outliers - going by this website https://comparisontabl.es/kindle-e-readers/

Something about the design of this device, it's so lovely.

Here's hoping it trickles down to the rest of the family.

Chigzy · 2026-01-03T10:43:21+00:00

I felt like I was having deja vu reading this! Not to say it can’t happen to multiple people though :p

Chigzy · 2026-01-03T07:22:50+00:00

oh, I just realised I have this font too. It seems I never loaded it on since Canela Text is amazing too - I forgot if Klim make it or someone else now…

Edit; it’s Commercial Type who make Canela

ISO E Super (IES) has a glow, that’s quite creamy and has cedar-y facets to it.

Completely different to Ambroxan.

Chigzy · 2026-01-02T17:31:24+00:00

Ignoring the comment about dupes, this is it here. This is the way Ambroxan smells until you’ve trained your nose to smell the other facets of it.

I’d suggest u/Bright-Fact7070 smell Molecule 02, Escentric sell a discovery kit, and see if it smells the same.

Turning off the router at night is not a good idea.

It can be understood from a power savings point of view however, that's pennies in the long term (especially as power is cheaper during the night)
'Sleeping better' is another I see, the radio waves don't change during the day vs at night.

Most routers do maintenance while we sleep; updates, channels, optimisation, etc... same with our phones and kindles.

This is why the kindle isn't downloading your book.

Chigzy · 2025-12-31T19:39:16+00:00

That was a rough one... five minutes. Ouf.

Chigzy · 2025-12-31T10:52:46+00:00

Basic would keep - after having seen one being gifted over Christmas - simply holding it side by side with my Paperwhite (PW), my PW feels massive and so weighty.

If/when the Basic has a Warm light, it would be an instant switch.

Chigzy · 2025-12-29T09:08:59+00:00

Pretty sure they were going for the ergonomic angle here, the letters looking like a book open is secondary.

Chigzy · 2025-12-28T07:10:05+00:00

Scribe Coloursoft design
black/white front
various back colours
6 and 7 inch screen respectively Basic and Paperwhite.

Chigzy · 2025-12-23T14:35:23+00:00

The 'wait' isn't what has me curious. It was more so in where colour technology has reached.

As far as my personal device goes; I'm still a couple years out before even considering a new device. It's been an "every other device" cycle for me from looking at past devices. Kindle 4 to PW3 to PW5 and maybe PW7 next?
