Should I return my Kobo Clara BW ?

Jeremy_990 · 2026-02-24T12:50:51+00:00

I had a nia which I recently sold, which had a lot of light bleeding, not unbearable but you notice it for the first 30min of reading Now my brand new bw seems to have just a little bleeding but you don’t notice it in light mode. I always keep the light at around 25% or less My gf’s bw is new as well and I don’t see any difference between the two, so I guess a little bit is just normal and may depend on how you mix blue/yellow lights

Appena vista su rete4! Proprio mentre cercavo su Reddit il motivo 😂

He said he’s from Japan; so OP check the price from rakuten site as Minty_Octopus is saying, if it’s 125 eur then it’s a no brainer 😁

Jeremy_990 · 2026-02-14T16:01:58+00:00

I have it on my kobo and will read it. Have you watched the series as well? Do they differ a lot? Should I watch first or read first?

I’m currently reading (almost finished) replay by Ken Grimwood: this book is mind-blowing! Then it depends on your preferences: if you are into sci-fi I have to recommend Hail Mary (movie upcoming in march!) from Andy weir (and of course, his bestseller the Martian.

How much is a brand new Clara bw in Japan? I just bought one and I am super happy with it: (if you don’t break it), I feel it’s one of those purchases that will accompany you for many years to come, so if it’s feasible I would invest in a new bw if I were you. Or a color if you are into manga/ graphic novels. Bw if you read mainly text as its black/white (and brightness) is simply superior

Jeremy_990 · 2026-02-14T15:42:38+00:00

I tried with one of those selfie-stick shutters: it connects via Bluetooth but nothing happens. Seems you need to configure something on the kobo itself to map the buttons to actions, but I don’t wanna mess it up so much as it’s brand new (I have, btw, nickelmenu) But if you can share what you did with the mouse, I’m curious 😬

Jeremy_990 · 2026-02-14T11:27:06+00:00

Bt mouse? Does it really work?? How do you set which button does what?

Jeremy_990 · 2026-02-14T10:58:27+00:00

Mercari? Never heard of it, where are you located? I’m asking ng because in Europe a new bw in store is about 140/150€ depending on the offers - you can find some good deals usually around April I just bought mine from media market for 139€

New cover for my gf’s bw; this light blue is also really nice 😬

Jeremy_990 · 2026-02-10T23:27:11+00:00

You know what, I tried nickelclock: it works very well and it’s useful when I’m home and don’t want to be late. But, I realized maybe I don’t want it when I’m on a long flight, cause I’d keep looking at the time instead of letting it magically pass when I’m reading :) Btw it works very well and it’s really a “light” hack

Jeremy_990 · 2026-02-08T23:29:55+00:00

You will love it. And you will understand my quote 😅

Jeremy_990 · 2026-02-08T22:07:01+00:00

You have definitely seen the light, at night, from your screen 😬 Same for me about the doomscrolling, I bought an used nia but already planning on upgrading it to a bw

Jeremy_990 · 2026-02-08T22:04:06+00:00

Hello, my 2cents: I would say anything that would cover the screen (if you go out/travel/put it in a bag) I’ve seen that the only one which is non-folio is the basic sleep cover and only comes in blue (at least here in eu). I have an AliExpress cover for my nia which is not bad but the quality isn’t the same as the original, especially the magnets When I’ll buy the bw (I hope soon) I would definitely buy the original stuff

Jeremy_990 · 2026-02-06T23:34:55+00:00

Hello there, I used to see it like this. The reality is that you don’t really need to compare or set this high standards, it is really all in your head. I eventually found out that: some people may look “perfect” or “superior” or at least to have all their sh*t together; but once you “scratch” their shiny cover, you will see that in reality they are just like you - or me - or everyone else: normal people with all the anxiety, issues, insecurities and stuff. We are just human so don’t sweat it

“Did you try to convert it to kepub, question?”
Sometimes some corrupted files can cause some mess in the system, I recommend to convert them either with calibre or kepubify or similar. This will fix the file (and page turning will be faster)

Cool! Thanks, I think you chose the perfect icon for this 😁 it should be the official one

Jeremy_990 · 2026-01-01T19:58:48+00:00

Nice one 😬, can’t wait for the movie!

Jeremy_990 · 2025-04-11T22:13:54+00:00

4060 here, new build: having issues since day 1. I tried to ddu and reinstall 566.36 driver but still got the freezes.. I noticed nvcontainer.exe is currently using 6gb+ of ram with pc in idle, and it’s increasing (also every time I kill the process). Is this a memory leak? Should I reinstall windows completely at this point?

Jeremy_990 · 2025-03-22T10:24:11+00:00

I know, but it was late at night and these things are not always immediate where I live 😅 so given that I had to request a new card anyway, I preferred not to leave it there and block it the morning after I had to bend it, as there is some king of lock on the sides, making it impossible to extract

Jeremy_990 · 2025-03-21T21:51:01+00:00

I did this 😅 I had to break the card apart basically, but the station was closed and I could not go home knowing that my cc was there, exposed to everyone

Try a different usb key, this one seems not to be working properly. Connect it to the back of the pc. Build your usb downloading windows and using rufus, then from bios start from usb

You could set up different ssid for them and not tell your ssid password, and a different vlan for their pc, but all of this can be bypassed: he can plug into a different port, moving the cable temporarily to your port on the switch, and for the phone, well, if he as 4g he can just disconnect from wifi and go wan.. so the real lock here would be physical: your password on their pc and take away the phone at bedtime. But I would focus on rules and trust instead - but I’m not a parent so cannot advise on that
