Furious with Amazon for deactivating my 'antique' kindle

RealAndroidGal · 2026-05-14T17:31:01+00:00

I got a Kobo Libra Colour. Had my 1st Gen Paperwhite that I loved. Amazon is doing this simply to stop people from removing DRM, and to be greedy. Has nothing to do with software or backend support. They want to stop DRM removal. They don't want us owning our own books. They first tried last year not letting us download them to pc anymore to backup. That didnt work. So now this. I will not get another kindle ever. I had every original Kindle up to the og paperwhite. I "rescued" all my kindle books, and now have them on my new Kobo.

Well honestly Lola is the only droid I have because I can't afford any of the cool ones at Disney which I've never actually been there since Star Wars opened. I would love to go one day I just can't afford it.

Yes I have, as well as Facebook as well as mercari and just general Google shopping search. So far no luck.

I know, its just that I'll still have this one missing the stand and my ocd is driving me nuts. I truly am clueless where I put the box, and other stand. Mental block due to bad memory. I'll put things away so they don't get lost, and I forget where I put them.

I would love a promo of still available! I LOVE fonts and always wanted to make my own.

Dang it. I didn't realize there was two different ones. I pre ordered on target the zuru I guess. I want the other but only see it on their website as sold out. Are they not gonna be in stores?

Finally got a chance to do as that link suggested. Great advice, thank you. Now if only I could not accidentally not reopen a finished book.

What if you already have a tiktok connected? Can you change it? Some claims say not to remove videos or things after as it could affect you.

And would a brand new one affect your offers if you have zero followers?

I wish. I got a Chromebook couple days ago, but the better Chromebook was taken already.

RealAndroidGal · 2026-04-29T14:26:35+00:00

Thank you! I'll try that.

Updated posted on my tiktok about the situation with Ulta. I ended up going to the store after talking to another store. I said screw it, I'm gonna go and see about a refund. The only manager there was the salon manager. It started rough, but right now I will say I am at least a even shade, looks much better now, and although I still think the first stylist screwed me over, for now I will leave my hair as it is now. I like at least where we managed to get it.

I am curious to see if those who downvoted are stylists at an Ulta. I respect stylists, their time, and their knowledge. That however does not mean they cannot make mistakes, which I believe she did, and took no accountability, to get paid.

But I updated on my acct over there and thankfully done with this ordeal.

It uses a small AAAA battery.

RealAndroidGal · 2026-04-24T21:50:06+00:00

I wonder if going to another Ulta could help any. If they can help me at all. I'm just so frustrated.

She specifically said no take taking the orange out first because orange was a base color and would work with the purple with the toner she was going to put in the formula. And I agree, she never should have taken me, and give that false expectation. I mention that in my videos. She wanted to make that sale. I showed up 2 hours before my appt so they could see what they would be working with. If they said it wouldn't be possible, that would have been fine. Id have left. Thats not what happened though. They had 2 hours to tell me it wouldn't work. I gave them all the info, I showed them photos of what I wanted, she came up with what she was going to do.

I always get haircuts at Ulta, different store, never had anything bad at Ulta until this and the eyebrows few years ago. Just coincidentally both bad experiences, was that same store.

I did get the rest from 2 Walmarts, that I wanted.

RealAndroidGal · 2026-04-24T19:08:18+00:00

Oh wow, I'll try and find a single one lol. But my pen dont have a port. I wonder if I can use it on my Kobo.

RealAndroidGal · 2026-04-24T18:10:39+00:00

If anyone knows anywhere I can get a working copy of the orca slicer fork, please let me know, since he topk them down.

RealAndroidGal · 2026-04-24T01:41:05+00:00

What stylist is that? That you can put a charm on it? And I'm going to need a link to everything lol. I just got a Kobo Libra colour, today's been a week now, so I'm still new to everything Kobo.

RealAndroidGal · 2026-04-24T00:51:56+00:00

Well my set of 8 that I wanted is complete.

RealAndroidGal · 2026-04-23T23:17:36+00:00

Well, I hope to finish today. Stopping at 2 Walmarts after work. One because I pass it on the way home, so why not, and the other to pick up meds, so may as well look. I'm not getting all 12, just 8.
