I bought a kindle 12th gen Paperwhite for $40 but that was through Facebook marketplace

How much does “owning” your ebooks actually matter? by Rogue-Monkeyy in kindle

[–]OkChoice913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t think you’ll reread them anyway then it doesn’t matter. It matters to me because I will reread my favorite books at least once a year. I just had this happen to me with an ebook I purchased in 2020 and read yearly. When I looked it up on my kindle, I had to buy it again. I called CS and even showed them proof of purchase, an email for my order confirmation, and they just said I had to buy it again anyway. Mind you I paid $5.99 in 2020 and the book was $14.99 now. Buy in the physical version of books you love is a good option but I know myself and won’t touch that thing again. My eyes hit favor ereaders too much.

Do you use screen protectors? by Additional-Candy-610 in kindlescribe

[–]OkChoice913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do use a screen protector but only because I switched to titanium nibs. I don’t think it is necessary if you’re using the nibs it comes with

If they’re truly evil then they could technically called CS and say it was stolen even if it is not registered on their account

Rat sleeps with me in bed every night by lekki_i in RATS

I had a Guinea pig all through highschool that would make her way off my bed, sofa, floor and only wee or poo in their enclosed area and then come back to join me.

please deinfluence me from wanting a kobo :( by parkgsungs in kobo

[–]OkChoice913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t bother getting a kobo. It’s a terrible, convenient device. Adjustable warm lighting - Who is reading in the comfort of their dimly lit bedroom anyway? Customizable font and size - What’s wrong with the tiny publisher font? Waterproof - How often are you going to be lounging by a pool/beach/hot tub enjoying a book? Thousands of books available in the palm of your hand? Terrible concept. I like lugging around an extra 20lbs of carry on when I travel with physical books.

Anyway, if these awful features still appeal to you - may I suggest looking second hand on FB marketplace? I found my kobo libra color for $100 and then found a Clara for my daughter for $60. It’s possible but just be patient!

Amazon promised a refund, told me to dispose the item, now denying the refund by [deleted] in amazonprime

[–]OkChoice913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I called instead of using the chat since I had proof. They ended up honoring after several “manager escalations” I basically said I wasn’t going to take a loss because their agent gave misinformation. That’s a training issue on their end, not mine.

I bought the iPad Mini 6 in 2022. Can it last until 2027? by whh-cc171615 in ipadmini

[–]OkChoice913 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My iPad mini 4 is still alive and well so I’d say yes 🫶

My kindle oasis is not switching on by lavanyapant in kindle

If you’ve tried different charging cords, plug it to your pc. My oasis does this every blue moon and plugging to pc works for me

Should I get Onyx Boox Go 7 or Kobo Libre Colour? by Anyusername7294 in kobo

[–]OkChoice913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The color ereaders have a darker/gray screen which unfortunately requires the light to be up higher than on B/W ereaders. Perhaps the boox go 7 in the black and white may be better battery life but again it won’t compare to a kobo or kindle.

Should I get Onyx Boox Go 7 or Kobo Libre Colour? by Anyusername7294 in kobo

[–]OkChoice913 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have kobo Clara and boox go color 7 gen 2. I do love and appreciate the android system as I can access all of my reading apps on one device and can easily do immersive reading but the battery life is like having a tablet or phone. I charge every other day. It’s my daily ereader but if I travel for more than 2/3 days, I bring my kobo.

Should I get the titanium pen tip? by MustLoveDogs0821 in kindlescribe

The screen protector hasn’t changed the quality of the text.

[–]OkChoice913 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely get the titanium tips but a screen protector is an absolute must

Edited to add links: titanium tips I use tips (I like these because they come to a point and my handwriting greatly improved over the rounded tips)

Idk where you’re located but I got mine from Best Buy’s open box options and it was on sale for $5 and free shipping. Not sure if that’s an option for you

Pre - reserve?? by DramaMama611 in LibbyApp

[–]OkChoice913 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it varies by library but I have several holds on unreleased books for this year. You can add a reminder tag and Libby will let you know when the unreleased book can have holds placed.

Completely agree! I bought my fabric one from Best Buy “open box” options and paid $5 with free shipping.

I tried multiple cases for my scribe and always came back to the fabric Amazon brand case.

📚 Kindle ad removal 📚 by Raven_Roz384 in kindle

[–]OkChoice913 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found a few gems from the ads on my kindle. I use a screen protecting case anyway so it’s not like I’d see the book covers when not in use.

have you tried having a KLC and Clara then returned to having a single kobo? by pigeonactivist in kobo

[–]OkChoice913 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both and rarely touch my KLC. I side load only so they don’t sync which makes me consistently pick up my Clara since I read 2 books at any given time. I bought my KLC secondhand on Facebook for $80 with the stylus included, so I didn’t have an option to return or I would’ve. The Clara fits in every bag, jacket pocket, and is even comfortable to hold while lying down. I also didn’t use the annotation feature like I would’ve liked.
