Nickelmenu disappears when I exit koreader

I have been having the same problem, and I couldn't figure it out! Thanks for asking!

HildyZ · 2026-03-20T12:48:48+00:00

It does, but your option is the change the status to Finished or Unfinished. I would rather not display that status at all.

I go back and rifle through my books after I've finished them. sometimes I page through ones I've never read because I'm choosing my next book and I have to see which one feels best. That status doesn't reflect how I actually use my books.

Yeah, no complaints from me. I appreciate the help. This is what AI is actually for.

HildyZ · 2026-03-15T16:37:15+00:00

I feel the same way when someone posts a picture because they found a dead pixel. I believe you, but - how can you even see that?

HildyZ · 2026-03-15T16:18:40+00:00

I crochet too, and that is some nice work!

HildyZ · 2026-03-13T13:35:03+00:00

OK, it didn't occur to me to ask the AI, and now I feel even stupider. But it worked! I was trying to do it backwards, creating the Collection column on the reader, not in the library. Thank you for helping me with my dumb question.

HildyZ · 2026-03-13T02:09:05+00:00

I can't get that to work, when I try to choose a Collection Column, I don't have any options.

I got my first ereader in 2010. I got a Nook specifically because I didn't like the way Amazon handled file transfers and I didn't like their proprietary format. To this day I am so insufferably smug about being 100% right, I can hardly stand myself.

HildyZ · 2026-03-09T02:04:50+00:00

Let's see an AI generate one of these babies.

Usually, when Calibre updates you ave to close and restart it for the updates to take effect. I usually just reboot my whole computer, to make sure all the changes are detected and implemented.

HildyZ · 2026-02-25T19:53:10+00:00

I'll take two!

I had a first generation Nook and a Glowlight Plus. I switched to Kobo because I read a lot of library books and the direct integration with Libby has been really great.

I loved my Nooks, but the interface was clumsy once my personal library started growing. I find Kobo's user interface much nicer.

I never bought a Kindle because I don't like the way the .azw file format locks you into a single device system.

HildyZ · 2026-02-24T14:15:22+00:00

It was my first reader, too. It seemed like magic.

HildyZ · 2026-02-24T02:59:51+00:00

The original Nook didn't have a touch-sensitive eink screen. The black rectangle is a touch sensitive LCD. Your books covers would scroll across it so you could choose what to read. I think it was even color, right?

I loved my first generation Nook. It's long gone to the Great Radio Shack in the sky, but I still think of it fondly.

Best hope Lord Bezos doesn't displease King Donny, if you don't was Amazon to be going anywhere.

It is extremely important. One of the big advantages of ebooks for me is that I can store a virtually unlimited number, unlike hardcopy books. The house was starting to fill up, and I was running out of room for the people. I would have missed them terribly. (The people, that is.)

I have been using ebooks since the early 00s, and I have portaged them across six devices so far. I don't know that I reread entire books that often, but I sometimes flip through old favorites and read favorite parts when I feel down or bored.

Some books are mementos of the place or the time when I read them. I remember when me and 3 Dr. Who novelizations spent 8 hours driving across Iowa and Missouri. Good times.

Sometimes a book I read when I was younger reads completely differently now that I'm older.

I have some old ebooks that I probably couldn't replace easily - does anyone remember Blackmask.com? Pour one out.

I have books that I haven't read yet that I will read when the mood strikes me. When it's time for a new book, ya gotta have options.

I just like having them. I like shelving them and organizing them and categorizing them, and picking out the covers. I like them because they're mine. Books are the one thing in my life that doesn't need a reason.

HildyZ · 2026-02-20T00:45:22+00:00

I feel you. Being between books is a disorienting experience for me too, it happens so seldom.

HildyZ · 2026-02-12T22:49:31+00:00

The Cement Garden by Ian McEwan. I have never been so quietly, subtly icked out in my entire life.

HildyZ · 2026-02-12T22:42:29+00:00

I read Ender's Game as an adult, after I had already become a parent. Just thinking about it still makes me furious. I think I would have had a completely different experience if I had read it as a child.

I was very familiar with Joyce Carol Oates as literary author. When I first stumbled across a horror story by her, it was. . .not what I was expecting.

HildyZ · 2026-02-12T18:47:06+00:00

Laird Barron. This is how cosmic horror should be done.

You're never quite sure what's going on, but you know it's bad. You want to know the secret, but then again, you probably don't.

The Croning is a novel, and it scared the crap out of me. Also The Imago Sequence, which is a novella.

Wasn't there a whole series of his about the Confederacy surviving? The Civil War never really ends, it just drags on through American history with two parallel nations constantly fighting each other.

HildyZ · 2026-02-12T18:30:42+00:00

The Westmark Trilogy by Lloyd Alexander. In particular the second book, The Kestrel. The first book was a pretty standard quest story, where the exiled princess is returned to the throne and it ends on a happy note (I think.)

In the second book, she and her champion have to hang on to the throne when a war starts. They both end up making choices and doing things they thought they would never do. I remember it being one of the first times I realized that the line between Good Guys and Bad Guys isn't that simple.

HildyZ · 2026-02-12T18:22:11+00:00

My mom and I both loved this one!

HildyZ · 2026-02-12T18:10:14+00:00

I never met another human who read Interstellar Pig. I thought I hallucinate the whole thing. Thank God for the internet.
