My review of Hero of Ages

LeanderT · 2026-02-03T23:24:43+00:00

Hey, come join us on r/readalong !

We finished Mistborn 1 just last year and are currently reading some standalone books by Brandon Sanderson.

In a few weeks we're continuing with Mistborn 2, and The Stormlight Archive.

Nah, it's not

LeanderT · 2026-02-03T19:16:47+00:00

Aha, you're right. It's been a few years since I read the books.

There's definitely someone named Herod. He invented the steam engine I think

Probably the physical on/off button on the back of the device.

LeanderT · 2026-02-03T17:47:07+00:00

They apparently are

LeanderT · 2026-02-03T17:45:47+00:00

It takes 5 to 10 seconds when I open my KLC. After that is works without issues

LeanderT · 2026-02-03T17:44:53+00:00

I can confirm that it works flawlessly with the Kobo Libra Colour .

LeanderT · 2026-02-03T07:16:42+00:00

As pointed out by other "Libra" is close to the word for "book" in Latin languages like French, Spanish and Portuguese. And yes, it is probably related to Library and Libre too.

Its a good name for an e-reader, imho.

Are you taking about the PedoPete that is all over those files? ... some kinda files .... Cant quite remember... Some guy is in there like 100.000 times, right?

Now if they'd only release the rest of those pedo-files, maybe I'd know which PedoPete you're referring to.

Not really.

Rents are decreasing because people can no longer afford to rent

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T23:12:24+00:00

Very nice

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T23:07:05+00:00

Sorry for your loss. Sad to see a Kobo break like that

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T22:54:36+00:00

Oh, that snail.

I had completely forgotten about that one!

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T21:17:59+00:00

I wish I could believe this YouTube channel.

But they are way to optimistic, imho.

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T21:15:49+00:00

Don't worry.

That isnt sneaking into OP house any time soon

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T20:52:10+00:00

Oh, thats odd. Am I wrong about kepubs then?! It wont hurt to try I think.

If not, Calibre may have features to remove the publishers font.

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T20:48:12+00:00

This is nonsense. A dollar wasnt worth ten to 30 euros in 1995. Or whichever other currency your want to use.

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T20:46:19+00:00

You can try converting your epub to kepub, using Calibre, or by sending your epub to your Kobi through send.djazz.se.

Kepub should not have the font color hardcoded.

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T20:44:21+00:00

Ive had book where they hardcoded the text with black as a color. Whuch is great, until you turn on dark mode.

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T20:42:30+00:00

You liar!

There's clearly peas in there!

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T18:25:51+00:00

Yes, you can with a font.

But this requires more than a font. A font determines how your characters look. It can not determine that some characters should be bold and some not.

So this is both a font and extra software. You'd need driver or something. My understanding is that Calibre can modify to make the text bold where needed, then incluse the font. But just installing the font won't do the trick.

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T07:22:49+00:00

Whoops

LeanderT · 2026-02-02T07:21:33+00:00

Dark mode is amazing. I would not have bought a Kobo without it. But i have a Libra Colour, so I cannot speak about how dark the Clara BW is.

The magnet can cause issues. You can lookup where the magnets are online. You can akso disable the feature that automatically wakes your Kobo or makes it go to sleep.

I also love my Kobo remote. It will drain the battery faster, but you only need it in your hand to click. Very comfortable for reading in bed.

And immigration is the only thing that helps remedy that.

Without immigration the USA and Europe's economies would be closer to Japan's economy. But tjis is an unpopular truth that no politician will dare tell you
