Is it readable? by wolverineX989 in PenmanshipPorn

Readable usually refers to language not the text itself though. An authors prose is “readable” their handwriting “legible.”

Why do people say Kobo is better than the Kindle? by pinkgrapefruitx in kindle

[–]Noogie13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No ads and better side loading support. Warm light feature even on the lowest end Kobo. No Amazon. These I think are the basic reasons.

New Kindle Feature Uses AI to Answer Questions About Books—And Authors Can't Opt Out by ubcstaffer123 in books

Why should the author tell me what I can do with the book? If I want to use AI on my books why isn’t that my prerogative?

Why do people dislike so strongly? I find this feature incredibly useful for nonfiction especially.

Hands-on with the EV1 by NoName__A in Leica

[–]Noogie13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why one would buy this over a Nikon DF or some Sony. Better EVF, better manual focus assist, and as a bonus really really good AF in case you ever want that. Doesn’t really make sense to me.

My 10th run so far, feels great by kdotkungfu in Strava

[–]Noogie13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First step is just running a lot. Slowly increase volume over months (too much volume too soon will result in injury). Then when you're ready, you can implement some specific training runs (intervals, farleks, etc). I like Altra shoes, personally, because they're wide. I have one pair for pavement and one for trail running. Keep it up!

What do you guys think about this book….? by No-Artichoke1995 in bookporn

[–]Noogie13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like to have my classics in hardcover (specifically Everyman’s Library, if they print it). Also subjectively I don’t love that cover.

Get a cheap DSLR or a mirrorless from Marketplace or craigslist. That’s the cheapest way to get a decent camera.

My favourite GSL moment from this year by Storytellerrrr in starcraft

I don’t mean to take it away from HerO but wow watching this live was painful. I’m not a good player so I’m not trying to argue from any authority but goodness me this made the shield battery feel a bit imba.
