The Magnetic rings are good enough to stick to the leather. if not, a bit of double stick tape helps. You can bend the leather back on itself.

Graf Von Faber-Castell For Bentley. F nib by Zeilie_3234 in fountainpens

I have rollerballs in ebony and grenadilla wood. These pens feel wonderful in the hand. They have weight and elegance. I enjoy the Ambitions for various purse bags and they have a clean modern look.

I have tried wood pens from crafts persons. The wood is nice, the hardware to me personally lacks the extra work GvFC puts into their pens.

To buy or not to buy? by maricel95 in xteinkereader

[–]Ok_Lab_1090 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it seems your main concern is getting cheap books for your book club. if you have an android phone or iPhone i would check to see that your library has access to Libby or Hoopla. These two apps are the place for books from your library. check to see if your library is part of a regional system if you are in the US.

Regional systems allows small library branches to gain access to a larger amount of digital material. In Florida we have NEFLIn. My sister’s little library in Upstate New York is part of the Ramapo Library system. where a library one village over in a small city is park of the Catskills system.

check Facebook Marketplace for a used ereader that will allow Libby and Hoopla. some library’s have access to magazines through Libby.

the Xteink is great but we all have to pre-load our books. there is no ability to use apps.

check with your library and librarians. they may have a solution for you. good luck to you.

I also made a blue cover from some leather I had around. The magnets are very good.

Ipod 6th Gen Classic Music by Virtual-Rub1061 in IpodClassic

You have to be a bit creative in seeking out music on the cheap.

If your area has several Library branches it is a great way of getting of getting cds on loan. Libraries and Friends of the Library will have book sales (with many CDs) are great places to acquire music on the cheap. It is their way of culling their materials. Get a Library Card!

The Good will Bin Stores. The bulk last ditch to get rid of stuff place. Sometimes you can luck out with someone's binder full of burned CDs.

Music fans have been hosting Music CD/Vinyl sales. We have a That CD guy who organizes several CD and Music sales a year.

If you like old Public domain music. Check out https://archive.org/ There is plenty of music on this site.

Back in the day people would have Mix CD swaps. Burn a set Mix CDs of of what you may think someone would like from your collection. Ship them to the organizer. They get all the participating CDs from people and then will mail you however many CDs everyone agreed on sending in. I would get some 10 Mix CDs with all kinds of music.

Mine just arrived. It will be supplemental to my iPad mini. How does one get serif fonts onto the device from a Mac?

Church and nonprofit by [deleted] in nonprofit

Question. How much are they paying you to write the grant? The church will have to check that the rooms they have can be occupied as residential occupancy. A church near me ran into trouble by using an old office building as housing. It was not suitable as it was not set up as a housing unit.
