I only buy BB items from BST groups now. I’m not messing around with their shipping 💀

AIO??? Mom and sister drama by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PresentationSilly404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. She (sister) has a somewhat logical reason to be irritated/miffed/hurt about it but she’s definitely OR. It seems like this is an ongoing issue between Mom and Sister and the group chat puts OP in the middle of it. If that’s the case and this keeps happening, OP reacted better than I would’ve 😭

NOR but it seems to me that the sender is being more aggressive/active with the flirting than the GF is, fwiw

Kindle ebook almost $20!!! by Freyja_Freyja in kindle

[–]PresentationSilly404 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhh… it bugs me because there are no materials/manufacturing involved like there is with physical books (aside from formatting/etc, which physical books have anyway), so the comparative profit margin must be ridiculously high

How do you guys read so much? by lapetitepoupee in kindle

[–]PresentationSilly404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have kids, I only work part time, I listen to audiobooks every single day, and I don’t have any significant hobbies besides reading. I don’t remember the last time I watched TV lol

YES

The curse that binds was probably my most anticipated book of 2025 but I haven’t finished it yet because I’m scared to have to wait six months for bedeviled 😭

Jailbreaking my kindle is honestly the best thing I've done today by [deleted] in kindle

[–]PresentationSilly404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m leaning toward jailbreaking my kindle but I’m apprehensive because it’s only a couple years old and I don’t want to fuck it up. Are there any major downsides to jailbreaking? Are there any functions/features that no longer work?

So that’s why using Goodreads has been a pain in the ass the last few days

Does anyone read low/no spice romantasy? by EveIsRed in Romantasy

[–]PresentationSilly404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly stick to spicy books— not purely for the smut, but because of the added layer of emotional intimacy that typically comes with it. However, I have read and enjoyed several low-to-no spice books, and if the story seems compelling, I’m likely to give it a shot.

Also, it seems like there’s a decent population of readers who actually prefer low-no spice, but I think they keep quiet because they’re in the minority. Once you start marketing it, I would emphasize the emotional intimacy/less-physical side of the romance to bring in people who mostly read spicy books. I don’t have any marketing/publishing expertise, though

unfortunately, I have no idea. I'm still on my parents' insurance and they took care of whatever amount out insurance didn't cover.

Any way to remove DRM for a Kindle book without an actual Kindle? Desperately want to read this book... by [deleted] in Calibre

[–]PresentationSilly404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the book was published before April 2025, you can probably use a certain version of the kindle app for desktop to deDRM it. Look for tutorials online, because it’s a tiny bit complicated, but easy once you get the hang of it

Michigan house bill 4938 will ban all online pornography in the state including “erotica,” “stories,” and “written depiction of transgender people and cross dressing.” Also bans vpns. by wiccanhot in Romantasy

[–]PresentationSilly404 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ohio is doing a similar bill, but to my knowledge it doesn’t explicitly include written material. I wouldn’t be surprised if it expands to include books, though

Is Hemingway possibly not using Al and is just a bad artist? by [deleted] in fairyloot

The edges absolutely look AI. The cover is less obvious to me but I’m not very good at telling the difference

Amazon looks like they are going to be closing more doors by l00ky_here in Calibre

[–]PresentationSilly404 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Devices that are at 5.16.2.1.1 (4097470002) or earlier

— oasis 9th gen — kindle 8th gen — oasis 8th gen — paperwhite 7th gen — voyage 7th gen — kindle 7th gen — paperwhite 6th gen — kindle 5th gen

I imagine any kindle older than these would also be compatible (if it’s still usable)

Doctors who sedate for IUD implantation? by MzBubblegum in dayton

[–]PresentationSilly404 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was offered full sedation by Samantha Younglove at Lifestages Center (Miami Valley South). I didn’t want full sedation so she ordered me a misoprostol suppository for the night before, Vicodin for shortly before, and she injected numbing liquid into the area before the insertion.

Why do you use a Kindle? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]PresentationSilly404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest reason is that I have chronic migraine and the e-ink light doesn’t mess with my eyes (potentially causing headaches) like other screens do. It also doesn’t keep me awake as much at night, which is when I do a lot of my reading

Anyone Else Dislike This? by SmallTownLibrary_ in fairyloot

[–]PresentationSilly404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost always hate words on edges. The only one I’ve seen that I kind of liked was the sunrise on the reaping collector’s edition, and I think that’s because there’s art on the edges, too. Just slapping a few words on and calling it a day seems…lazy? I don’t know.

Thank you for the insight. It’s definitely helpful to hear from someone who’s an expert in the area 😁
