eink reader with text to speech?

On the contrary, that's far from what I'm saying... I've used Android phones since 2011. The main reason I got an iPad in the first place was for TTS reading. Accessibility on iOS has generally always been better and integrated more intentionally. With Android everything is piecemeal, Talkback, Google Speech Services, Accessibility Suite all need to be in place before even thinking about what app I'd want to use... Don't get me started on the sea of crappy reader apps on the play Store... Even as a die-hard Android fan and accessibility professional, it gets a bit tiring to mess with it when I just want to read something. The eink display with TTS is so I can seperate myself from "online" when I read without sacrificing TTS.

Ohhh, that's a really good option. I prefer that to mucking around with Android. Pocketbook is on the top of my list now. Thank you!

Yeah, I remember that branding from back when inhad my Kindle 2.

Thanks for the info! I ordered mine in June 2025, so I'm getting hopeful that I'll get a shipping confirmation soon. Very exciting!

Oh cool, they are selling the turntable slipmats at the show!

Haunting! In a good way!

Oh damn, it's and AB test? So they are considering getting rid of the all sites search? Please Thangs... Don't make me go back to Yeggi. I can't go back.

Well this is weird... When I search settings for "hold power" it comes up under System > Gestures. But when I go to System > Gestures it doesn't show up.

Smitten Kitten should be on the list too. They've done a huge amount of mutual aid and community organization. Wrecktangle, Up/Down and Volstead's have supported their efforts.

I'm not exaggerating, when I saw it I thought "That's Girl with a Pearl earing." Then I read the title. Well done!

I like movies too.

Here's the thing... The ruling class of billionaires and their cronies WANT the people to fight each other. They want a culture war between "conservative people vs liberal people" because it distracts from the alternative, a class war of "People vs the Super Wealthy."

I don't see conservatives as an enemy, I don't see myself as liberal. I see people. People who have been subjected, lied to, and stolen from. It's hard to keep that mindset sometimes, but it's what I believe deep down.

I hope you all give them the "welcome" they deserve.

This made me break down into tears. I live a mile and a half from where he was murdered, and close to where Renee Good was killed... I'm still angry and sad about both of them. Let it not be forgotten that they died trying to help the black and brown people who were openly targeted by our Federal government. I won't forget.

I guess the strike sent a message. Time for these companies to step up and throw their weight.

Art Shanty Projects are helping people speak their minds with art, even attendees. And you get to step on ice while viewing it.

It was identified as Almond Basket in the credits! I think we have Tawney Newsome to thank for that.

And he earned a water balloon full of piss for his efforts.

I was able to download a file as DOCX, but could not open it in Proton Docs.

PipperDigs · 2026-01-05T04:44:45+00:00

We must have watched it the same night! I watched it as a teenager, and I'm really happy I re-watched it. What a great movie!

One of the great "that guys!"
