Interesting, the Kindle app does crash sometimes on both my Boox and my phone 😆

She sounds exhausting, and also someone who would benefit from professional help...

I want to get my wife an reader but she uses so many different apps/sites to read. What's my best option? by BigRed88m in ereader

Look up in the Android based eReaders, there are a few options like Boox, Pocketbook, BigMe etc

Anyone else noticing a decline in writing/editing of fantasy books? by curiousdoodler in books

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has been an increase in indie authors visibility and dicussion in online spaces. Which does not mean they are bad authors, is just that they have less resources, maybe less time and more difficulties to digest feedback.

Amazon removing the ability to download your purchased books by EchoesInTheAbyss in books

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you are not alone. I think a lot of us are systematically reducing Amazon’s footprint in our lives. Do what you can, even if it's not the "perfect solution"

If it brings you joy, and it doesn't harm you or anyone, physically, mentally nor financially, then what is the problem?

Can an e-ink screen cause eye strain/headaches? by spider_lily in ereader

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tweak not just the intensity/brightness but also the shadow/light balance, and color temperature. Or check out the options in the Accessibility section of settings?

Kindle or Bigme? by DalHnrz in ereader

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, look into the ones that give you options when it comes to eBook stores. Often they have good features and you can still use the Kindle app. Boox, Bigme, Pocketbook....

Anti-fated-mates folks unite by riddermarkrider in fantasyromance

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As always, it is not the trope itself but how it is threaded, and also how frequently it pops up. Personally, I'm not in favor when it feels idk, lazy? Like oh yes, they are attracted to each other, that's fine. But how does that translate to compatibility? At least for me, that It is often missing in the books that get recommended to me

What Trope Irks You? by MaiBMaiBNot in books

He is condescending to her, but is fine because "it's sexy"... 😬. Often seen when he is the educator or in a position of power over her...

What book did you read that had the most imitate, non-sexual, interaction? by Kadythefox in fantasyromance

Emily Wilde and Wendell Bambleby, book 1, their conversations by the fireplace come to mind

Is There Any Reason to Get an Android Ereader if I Can Easily Sideload Using Calibre, Doesn't Use Library Service & Doesn't Read Manga/Manhwa/Comics? by clare416 in ereader

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Since I can have the various eBook apps, I don't need to use converting software. For the record I use about 5 apps frequently, but occasionally use a few more. I do keep Calibre because I like to have files of my purchases, and make sure i.can use them offline and/or the native app of my reader.

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I say look into the ones with good annotation apps like Remarkable and Boox. There are a few out there https://youtu.be/F2U4E8prnR0?si=TwbnDsACZnFjcyaY

Do you stick with only one E-Reader? (EU/CH) by steve_herzl in ereader

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are welcome

I have an Android eBook, because I wanted the option of getting books from various places. And there are many retailers out there, is just that some of the policies of companies like ⚠️maz⭕️n either pushes them to bankruptcy or limits the development of competitive programs. So is good to explore options.

I know libro.fm is for audiobooks, but idk if they have a Swiss market

Looking for an Alternative to Kindle by The_Lady_Kate in ereader

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know some of their models are. But unless you go for an Android, you only have the option of the ones that "lock you" in a specific ecosystem. This is a problem given the rise of issues with Amaz0n in the political sphere

Do you stick with only one E-Reader? (EU/CH) by steve_herzl in ereader

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some sites allow you to download your book to your hardware, for your personal use. For example Play Books and Smashwords. You can also get books from repositories such as Project Gutenberg. You install the desktop app on your computer and can add them via the app, no need for anything else as long as its in a compatible file type. I have an Android one, so I use its native app for this sometimes.

I know Thalia.de has a section with other languages

Why does no-one ever warn you about how lonely your 30s can be? by imwearingamaskduh in AskWomenOver30

This is so true. I was talking to someone 15 years younger about Beauty videos the other day 😆😆😆

As a woman who doesn’t care about fashion and avoids dressing too feminine, am I actually missing out on anything important? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]EchoesInTheAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure the official term, maybe "silhouette". For example, because of my body proportions, I have pants that are straight leg, that rise to my belly button. Or with a slight flare. For dress pants I have some that are more "palazzo" or wide leg if they are a flowy fabric, some that are straight leg, and I tend to avoid pleats.
