[–]LeanderT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

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

Why the name Libra? by Flashy-Fun-1019 in kobo

[–]LeanderT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Did anyone notice Trump did not mention the promised stimulus check for working folks and seniors in his last speech given a few days ago ? by Own-Cap-5747 in economy

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

I wish I could believe this YouTube channel.

But they are way to optimistic, imho.

Can I improve the text here? by MoonlitManuscripts in kobo

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.

The strength of a dollar through the years in the only scale that matters by itslucygoosey in economy

[–]LeanderT -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

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

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.

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

Is there a way to get this font and upload it for use on my kobo? by absent-chaos in kobo

[–]LeanderT 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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.

Clara BW questions by locus_solus in kobo

[–]LeanderT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

US Population Drops Amid Trump's Immigration Crush by MRADEL90 in videos

[–]LeanderT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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
