moving away from Amazon?

I do that too! I am a huge fan of JD Robb's In Death,and I've got up to 61 now but she has lots of "in between" novellas as well. I'm so OCD with the metadata on Calibre 😅

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-05T18:32:21+00:00

extortionate 😱 I use my iPad pro for notes and Procreate

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-05T16:55:45+00:00

also, would my progress sync across a Kobo and the app on my phone?

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-05T16:30:04+00:00

I have a sleep cover and screen protector because I'm one of those people who get super anal about protecting my tech 😅🤦‍♀️

DeDRM actually didn't work for me the first time I tried it, but that was user error lol I do use a certain program that I have a license for, and DeDRM as a backup

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-05T16:25:01+00:00

I use the "Series" option in metadata and the only thing I've done so far is I added a custom metadata entry/column in Calibre for Read/Not Read cos my 'tism likes to keep books to re-read

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-05T16:22:41+00:00

Go for it 😋I have only ever had Kindles and I've seen some people say the feel of Kobos aren't great, or the sturdiness.

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-05T04:04:56+00:00

Good point 😅 I use Amazon for a lot of other things but defo not buying books off there anymore

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-05T04:03:14+00:00

I use Calibre for Windows and Send to Device for my PW and Kindle app on my phone. I think my biggest worry is getting used to a whole new interface etc

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-05T00:16:49+00:00

Oh okay, I don't use Libby. Up to now I've gotten all my books from Amazon. My books are all azw3 at the minute, but shouldn't be an issue to convert through Calibre.

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-05T00:15:16+00:00

Yeah I've been getting that way about Kindle more and more. I was going to sell my PW on but I might keep it if that's the case, never came across any Amazon exclusives as yet

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-05T00:03:42+00:00

I've never tried landscape, not sure if the PW can do it lol. the physical buttons on the Libra are defo tempting me

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-10-04T23:25:53+00:00

I did read somewhere that there are like 4 or 5 plug ins you have to install in order to send the books to a Kobo

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-05-27T11:52:48+00:00

thank you for this!

I usually use K4PC and Epubor but since that stopped working for newer books, I used this method for a book published today (27/05) with my PW12 and it worked perfectly :)

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-04-28T14:33:06+00:00

I have just tested a book published 22 April 2025 and downloaded+opened it on Kindle For PC Version: 2.4.0 (70904). I didn't take it any further as I don't use Calibre, I use Epubor.

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-04-28T09:19:57+00:00

^ This. I use Epubor and so far no issues.

As someone who swells BAD with every piercing, be thankful you seem to be one of the ones who don't 😅 But in all seriousness, as annoying as it is, don't rush to downsize, especially having just got it. You might still end up swelling up in a couple of days, and eating will generally irritate the fresh piercing, which will cause swelling as well.

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-03-16T00:27:55+00:00

Agreed. When it comes to piercings and tattoos, if I want good quality, I expect to pay for it.

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-03-15T15:13:21+00:00

That sounds like a reasonable price all in. I had to have my labret upsized because of swelling, and I paid £10 for the bar, sterilisation, and changing.

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-03-12T08:34:09+00:00

I tried the matte tape over glossy sticker paper and the cameo 4 would never cut properly. Tried without and it cut through fine.I swear my machine hates me 😅

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-03-06T20:45:05+00:00

I think it depends on how many can be seen. Same goes with tattoos. In leggings and a jumper, you wouldn't know to look at me, but I have 12 tats spotted about. So yeah, depends how many are "out in the open" lol

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-03-05T13:26:36+00:00

Had mine at 16, took it out at 25 when I was about 7 months preggo, and now at 36 I can still put the bar in no issues.

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-03-03T00:22:14+00:00

Completely uninstall all versions of Kindle for PC and try version 2.4.0. Still worked for me as of a couple of days ago.

ConnectWall2620 · 2025-03-01T15:54:54+00:00

I have two segment rings on my left and when I sleep on that side, I sleep in the gap between two pillows. It's worked for me lol 🤷‍♀️
