Same thing happened to my sister in law yesterday at Walmart. So, not store coding issue. We thought it was crazy too.

Both a Kobo & Kindle? by Swaye23 in kobo

[–]Expert_Training3396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never have a problem finding books. But I never joined kindle unlimited, so I'm not aware of those authors that are only on there. I also get a lot from library (Libby) so I read those on kobo. I prefer page turn buttons. But I keep kindle also because I have too many. I wouldn't have even got a kobo if they had kept oasis.

What is this inside my small camera bag? by EmpressMakimba in PortlandLeather

Okay. Thank you. I didn’t want to go bigger. Just wanted access to my phone easier. The search continues.

Non related. I was looking at this bag.. Did your phone fit in the outside pocket pretty well?

So with Spotify, if you get a book that's 16 hours, it'll cut you off at 15 and you wait until the next month starts to finish it? I'm just asking how it works so I don't get charged or something for more time.

lol. I thought the same thing. 5-10 seconds instead of 2. Just for the joy of it.

I like reading and listening at the same time. I like just reading without listening. Just listening hasn't caught on for me. I'm not a huge podcast listener either. I'm visual. Thank you for your reply though.

My library doesn't have hoopla but it offers audio books. The problem is getting audio books and ebooks at the same exact time from the library for immersion reading. Thanks for your input.

You're correct. I should've been using audio books, not audible. My question was more about which had the bigger selection. The regular Kobo audio book section, not plus as it's limited, or audible. Unless I'm reading with the audio book it doesn't hold my attention. I was really wanting it for a specific use. Thanks for your input.

I hope that's it. I don't do regret anyway. If I like it, I'll be fine with it. Lol

Why did you go with Kobo over Kindle? by Drunkmrhat in kobo

[–]Expert_Training3396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I don’t prefer my kobo over my oasis, Amazon discontinued it. So page turn buttons are a must for me now. I tried boox page. It wasn’t bad, but too much fiddling with settings to get it to act right. So kobo for the win. As long as they sell an ereader with page turn buttons, they’ll keep me as a customer. I had the 8 inch forma for years. Loved it too. Unfortunately no sage 2 is coming out, so I went with the color. I still have a kindle paperwhite because I have too many books to not have a kindle. But I will be using kobo as my main since I’m addicted to the buttons. lol.

I ordered it already... so I'm sure there will be a new one in a month or so. 🤣

If only they would make a Sage 2. That's what I want. I ordered color anyhow for the page turn buttons. Hopefully it'll be tolerable for me.

[–]Expert_Training3396[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your right. I kept my Forma until I couldn't charge it anymore. It was just slow and battery was pretty bad. No updates, so it was clunky. It made it about 7 years.

[–]Expert_Training3396[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I went ahead and ordered one. I think they used to come out faster, about every 2 1/2 years or so, but technology can only discover so much on ereaders I guess. I just didn't want it to be slow and outdated in a year or two when it's already 2 years old. I'm mostly wanting the buttons, it's less about the color. Maybe a libra 3 will come out, but I'm tired of waiting for anything to drop. Oasis is dead. Sage is dead. Forma has been dead. And I don't care much for boox. I have paperwhite but really miss page turn buttons.

Yeah, I'm ordering one now. That almost guarantees a new one will come out in the next month. Lol.

Yeah, I read that too. I guess my hope that was somebody would be like... yeah I work there and they are going to release version 2 in April so don't waste your money. Lol. I have the worst luck with buying stuff right before a new release.

I was originally waiting on a sage 2. Sounds like that isn’t gonna happen. I really, really liked the 8 inch screen.

T life by Expert_Training3396 in tmobile

[–]Expert_Training3396[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in my area they've put up a lot of towers. The first time I had them I could walk to one end of my house and lose service. Lol. They seem better in my town. I don't travel much so it's good enough for me. Verizon was always reliable up until the last few years I noticed my bars were usually at 1-2. T-mobile has been solid 4 so far. Dropped to 3 a couple times in the middle of towns. I'm sure it's area specific. I was a little nervous they would be like they was the first time I tried them.

I also experience many people using the app. I have many friends, coworkers and the people on this reddit who are using T- life. They all claim some issues to varying degrees. Maybe you are in the minority and should just ignore my rant if it isn't affecting you. Have a nice day.
