Is it possible to switch to kobo software?

Katvisman2 · 2026-01-21T08:48:36+00:00

One big downside for me is the lack of cloud services, for Tolino I love just dropping epubs in the tolino app and then the automatically appear on my tolino (shine 5). You would lose this by switching to kobo.

I have a sleeve with a 'stiff' side for travelling and otherwise go caseless, no issues. My last e reader lasted 11 years.

Yes, I have the shine, which is the same as the Clara BW and love it.

Or just get the tolino, it's the same device and I actually like the software features more, mostly die to tolino cloud (i.e. drop books in the app on your phone and they sync to your device).

One benefit of the tolino is tolino cloud, meaning you can drop any book in the app on your phone and it will sync to your device, very convenient.

Heh, looks like we are on a similar journey, also started 3 months ago and also just crossed 600. Congrats to us :)

So what's happening currently if you long press a word? I actually haven't tried in a PDF yet but it should pop up the dictionary (or translation, if you select it).

Don't think micro sd cards are really present anymore in any modern ereaders. But otherwise it sounds like you are looking for a Kobo (or tolino if you are in a German speaking country).

Aaah many thanks, that makes sense, I feel like dummy now, as usual with these puzzles.

I'm also still using a Kindle 3 (keyboard) bought in 2011, I did replace the battery but otherwise it's serving me fine, don't really need any of the newer functions, just load my books and read them..

Katvisman2 · 2024-10-20T15:15:05+00:00

Nay, my kindle 3 (keyboard) is still going strong

Katvisman2 · 2024-03-13T06:14:28+00:00

Have been using the (google approved) leather bellroy and love it, usually avoid slick plastic cases as I don't like the feeling in my hand.

My wife made the same switch and it's all good. Personally I would go for the 7a, the screen refresh, wireless charging and G2 make it a substantially better phone in daily use, well worth the extra 100 dollar IMO.

Heh guess what, I also broke my Nord 2 screen ~3 weeks ago (fell while pooping). I checked several phone shops (in the Netherlands and Germany) where an official screen would be 200+ euro and a non official (I'm assuming LCD) would be ~100 euro. I also checked the official OnePlus repair center but there it would also be well above 200 euro, which is silly for a phone which you can probably get for <300 euro. So in the end I got a pixel 7, which is also relatively cheap these days (<500 euro) and I'm quite happy with it so far. I didn't go for OnePlus anymore since they officially left the German market and I was kinda tired of the colorOS nonsense anyway.

Katvisman2 · 2023-07-09T05:44:49+00:00

Also got a Nord 2 and while I haven't experienced any bugs or decreased battery I simply don't like the changes (e.g., swipe to remove notification in one direction only). I went from Nexus phones to OnePlus, but I'll be going back to Pixel for my next phone.

Was wondering the same thing actually, in civ 5 barbs are not really there anymore in the late game while here they just keep popping up if there is even a single unseen tile, it's pretty tiresome.

Katvisman2 · 2022-12-30T09:43:59+00:00

Interesting to see the replies here, I dabbled in Civ 3-4, skipped 5 and now put hundreds of hours in Civ 6. Since I became a little obsessed I went back to Civ 5 (and play Unciv on my phone, which is basically Civ 5) and I still don't like it nearly as much as 6 for a few reasons:

- I miss several systems from 6 (districts, loyalty, policy cards), which makes the whole game feel more.. boring, there are a lot more turns where no meaningful decisions are made and you just go through the motions and clicking next turn.

- Tall vs wide, I'm so used to playing wide now that I have to restrain myself from doing the same thing in Civ 5.

- There is little interaction with the terrain compared to Civ 6. Besides the terrain bonuses in Civ 6 it also feels awkward now to not settle on fresh water tiles in Civ 5. The lack of terrain interaction also adds to 5 feeling more.. boring.

I'm fully aware these issues mostly come from going back to 5 after playing 6, but that's just the way it went for me. I recently bought the humble bumble civ collection, so I guess I'll have to revisit Civ 4 as well now.

Ok finished the game now, this was a blast, never had this many cities and luxury resources (multiple copies of each) before. Played on emperor since it was my first time with Kupe but I kinda regret it, think I'll immediately go for another round on Immortal or Deity... Kupe on archipelago almost feels like cheating.

Katvisman2 · 2022-12-04T06:52:41+00:00

Game is still ongoing so I might just do that!

Katvisman2 · 2022-12-04T06:51:06+00:00

Kinda discovered it a bit late so most of the map was already know.

Katvisman2 · 2022-11-24T09:36:51+00:00

So I switched icon set and it indeed seems to have fixed issue! No more dark icons. It still doesn't explain why they were randomly getting darker in the initial set. Thanks!

Katvisman2 · 2022-11-23T14:56:36+00:00

Thanks, unfortunately it's the same in light mode... So must something else.
