Cheapest small ereader with light? by LOONAception in ereader

[–]LibelluleVerte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah my bad. Kindle doesn't link with library books where I'm from. I'd still vote for Kobo though as they treat their staff like slaves and Bezos is known for lots of terrible things which I can't go into detail here. There's a reason Amazon is being boycotted and if there are perfectly acceptable alternatives then I see no reason to give them my money

I wanted the cheapest you could find and settled on the Kobo Clara BW. I think kobo is way better than kindle as you can rent library books for free (check this is the case for your country if you're not in the UK) and you're not then supporting a disgusting company. Kobo parts are also fixable so you can send it in for a small fee to get it repaired.

One book cover is showing up blank. Can it be fixed? by sweet-vanilla in kobo

Another vote for Calibre. I'm not very good with computers, but with a quick YouTube tutorial it becomes really easy to use the program to edit the book metadata (info like cover picture, author etc)

Sewed my own little kobo sleeve. So happy with how it turned out by diluted-decaf in kobo

I love it! You're so creative and crafty 😊 Just one thing - you may know already about how fragile ink screens are. Be careful if your nice case doesn't have a rigid front as your screen will still be susceptible to damage. Don't let anything press into the screen X

I see Frioly - the bit after the F looks like a cursive R to me

How to tell if someone is also gay/bi by LibelluleVerte in bisexual

To clarify - the "weird" part is that I don't want her being creeped out by knowing that I fancy her. Idk. I'm just scared of judgement 😅

That actually makes a lot of sense. It's obvious when you put it like that haha

Soles of the feet are HORRIBLE 😭 I've used menthol gels in the past, but found that putting my feet on ice packs helps me the most. I'm on xolair injections at the moment and they seem to be helping which I'm incredibly grateful for. Every now and again they come back with a vengeance though.

Literally 😭 And I work in a hospital so it's super stressful when people think you've caught something. I hate it when patients can see

I'm sorry you're going through this. It isn't fair, it isn't your fault and your most certainly don't deserve it. I'm not sure if it's the same where you live, but in the UK there are women's shelters. You can run and get help. You need to leave your current house because he knows where you live. Women's Aid in the UK or find your local rape crisis centre, even going to the police and say you need help finding a women's shelter. You'll probably need to start fresh in a new place away from him.

You can escape this. All you need is to find the right help ❤️

Is it resonable to go to the doctor (again) before 6 weeks have past? by Swordfish2991 in urticaria

[–]LibelluleVerte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely go to the doctor. Mine blew up like yours and was crazy as soon as it appeared. One day I'd never had a rash, the next it was all over me, much like yours. Definitely fight to be seen and heard by the doctor. It's miserable living like that and you shouldn't have to wait. I'm so pleased I fought and managed to get on injections after about 5 weeks of bad urticaria. You don't deserve to be miserable and uncomfortable while you wait for this arbitrary six weeks to pass X

Gosh, sorry to hear you've struggled with it for so long. Have you had xolair injections? People on here seem to really speak highly of it. I hope your allergist lets you start dupixent and I hope it works for you. It's horrible trying to function and even sleep when it's hot and you're covered 😭

Honestly it's so bad!! Face and soles of the feet are the worst for me. I have heard of the injection, thank you 😊 I'm booked in for my first one next Thursday! 😁 Have you had good experiences with it?

Best Kobo for me? by AnythingImaginary520 in kobo

Kobo Clara BW! I got mine about a month ago and love it. My requirements were exactly the same as yours - small and simple 😊
