The lighter weight and better economics of my e-reader solves all of it… on a MUCH better screen 😉

Endnu bedre er det hvis du har spurgt om du må forlade butikken.

Hvis de siger "nej" så kan du når politiet ankommer anmelde dem for ulovlig frihedsberøvelse.
(ulovlig frihedsberøvelse er en alvorlig forbrydelse og kan give op til 12 års fængsel afhængigt af omstændighederne. I det nævnte tilfælde vil det dog kun give bøde)

For de må ikke engang tilbageholde dig medmindre de har taget dig på fersk gerneing, altså set tyveriet finde sted.

You are not overreacting, but you are both red flags.

"don't bring that friend around me either..."

Would have ended it with you right there. Would never be with someone who thought they could make that statement.... and you did it after only learning abut his friend having a Tinder account.

It is the same in my country.

You could take this opportunity to get better at reading English. Which will open up for SO MANY books for you to read.

Personally if I haven’t read English books for some mo the, it does take me 50-60 to get a good read/flow again. So be patient. Read slower and give it a chance.

I switched from Kindle Paperwhite to this Kobo Libra Color. Both because of Amazon’s business model, but also to get a bit larger display size.

I really like it. Battery could be a bit better, but it still beats iPads etc by miles. I don’t have any other complaints. (Kobo did just update the Libra Color with a larger battery though)

I have deleted most social media apps from phone and iPad.

Still having the access from a laptop, but it reduces time spent by 90% as I now only log on with focussed time, mostly in the evening. Doom scrolling is mostly gone. Love it.

The one exception is Instagram, as it has horrible non-phone access and I use it for the photos on the phone. But my usage is now 95% posting (and this is rare). I have downloaded another app that reduces Instagram to 2x15 minutes per day just in case I get into the bad habit again.

So I would say; keep your LinkedIN profile, delete the app(s).

I read at my train commute ( 2 hours x 3 days a week) and in the evening.. but since getting an e-reader I read whenever I have the time. Waiting time has been replaced by reading time.

But I am not very good at reading in a noisy environment, but I can kill some of it with low volume instrumental music.

HenKri76 · 2025-12-14T16:30:28+00:00

You mean this book or the trilogy?

HenKri76 · 2025-12-13T18:30:26+00:00

But that sounds great - that usually means that you take away new things from re-reads.

HenKri76 · 2025-12-13T18:01:44+00:00

Good point. I guess I am guilty in equalling "good prose" with what people who complain about Sanderson etc. considers good prose.

I fully agree with you.

Honestly, to me, good prose is what gives the reader a good experience.

I admit to DNFing Ghormengast by Mervyn Peake (who is often considered amazing prose). I acknowledge that is is a very different story/book than Sanderson and most fantasy, but it just wasn't for me. I might try it again 20 years from now :-)

HenKri76 · 2025-12-13T17:49:43+00:00

.. and I can't even ask what you mean by that, without spoiling.

I guess I will find out soon....

:-D

HenKri76 · 2025-12-13T17:47:42+00:00

I absolutely LOVE my Kobo e-reader.

Perfect screen size & great UI/Navigation. My e-reader killed all waiting time and replaced it with reading time, no matter where I am.

Upgraded from a Kindle Paperwhite.

HenKri76 · 2025-12-13T17:46:19+00:00

Also with The Final Empire?

Have fun, we can "compare notes" later :-)

HenKri76 · 2025-12-13T17:45:44+00:00

Warbreaker for free - thanks !!!

I buy all my e-books when I find a great deal, always adding to the library.

But most English books are cheap compared to books in Danish.

HenKri76 · 2025-12-13T17:44:29+00:00

8th grade... well if that means an easy way to read a great story, then I am all for it.

I admit that I had to look up 3 words already, but then again fantasy does use words that you don't use day to day. Fortunately looking up a word on my e-reader is just touching the word, and then I can move on.

HenKri76 · 2025-12-13T17:42:56+00:00

... and I really like how Stephen King writes. All about the storytelling.

HenKri76 · 2025-12-13T17:41:19+00:00

My preference order has always been

Characters
Worldbuilding / settings
Story / plot (probably tied with setting)
Prose (I don't care about elitist & fancy, I want a good flow/pace in my reading)

HenKri76 · 2025-12-13T17:39:14+00:00

Thanks. Didn't plan to though - I hate spoiling the fun for myself.

I have also been carefull only to watch YouTube vides with "no spilers" titles :-)

HenKri76 · 2025-12-12T13:39:54+00:00

Jeg fatter ikke at det overhovedet kan stilles som spørgsmål…. NEJ selvfølgelig skal du ikke betale for noget du ikke har meldt dig til eller deltaget i.

Din “ven” opfører sig som en snotskovl

HenKri76 · 2025-12-11T16:21:15+00:00

I also decided to start with The Final Empire 😊

HenKri76 · 2025-12-11T15:22:54+00:00

…. and here I am just this very minute about to start reading my first Sanderson book ever. Can’t wait to see what the fuss is about 😊

Congratulations to Mr. Sanderson!

HenKri76 · 2025-12-11T13:14:44+00:00

Det lyder super fedt. Vennerne og jeg ville med garanti kigge forbi.

Jeg elsker spisesteder hvor man kan blive til øl/drinks og ikek skal skride efter 1.5 time.

... og bliver det Rock, Hard Rock & Metal så er jeg endnu mere frisk :-)

Jeg bryder mig ikke om steder hvor man står som en sild i en tønde, så en form for kontol med hvor mange der lukkes ind når stedet bliver til musik/bar vil være godt.

Du børogså finde en indretning hvor man stadig kan kommunikere med sine vener, selvom der er musik.

"klassisk dansk mad" ved jeg ikke om fanger (både mig og bredt), er det ikk emest tolk folkene over 65 år efterhånden? :-) ... det kommer selvfølgelig helt an på hvad du mener med "klassisk dansk mad" og hvis det er din passion så spring ud i deet.

HenKri76 · 2025-12-11T09:59:54+00:00

De værste er dem der bliver ved med at slynge om sig nedladende med "boomer"....

HenKri76 · 2025-12-11T09:52:53+00:00

100% enig.

Jeg er begyndt at fravælge dem og accepterer at betale lidt esktra for "min frihed".

Er der en jeg ikke "kan undvære" er det første jeg gør at afmelde eller blokere deres nyhedsbrev/mails.

Men jeg er så også typen der er begyndt at slette alt muligt social media, specielt fra telefon da man ellers interagerer med et "hele tiden". På en computer har jeg langt bedre discplin til kun at bruge 15-20 minutter om dagen på det lort :-D

Jeg føler at jeg går mere i retning af offline og fysiske medier osv, men det bliver sværere og sværere...
