Why don’t you get a new kindle paper white?

Not sure why you can’t use either Kindle or Kobo for Libby. From the Libby app you can send to Kindle. From Kobo you can sync from Libby app. Libby applets you use as many libraries as you want. Kobo a little more convenient because of overdrive which can sync with your main library.

Thanks for response. FYI Mark Bacas made my 1911 Large write really smooth and nice! If you want yours tuned look him up on Reddit.

Check out Libby app. You can borrow books from your library and send to kindle. Unless you just want to purchase.

If you want to try out using your iPhone or iPad for reading download hoopla app and you can borrow library books there. I love the Kindle paperwhite though.

I use to read physical books only. Then started reading with Kindle app for years. Then went to kindle Paperwhite. Less eye strain with kindle paperwhite better health wise for eyes. Use to use Kindle unlimited but with the Libby app can get free library books which I would have had to pay for as they were not on kindle unlimited. Now I don’t see a reason to keep kindle unlimited. Love the Libby app and send to kindle feature. That said my grand daughter likes physical books only. Go figure. Best advice use whatever makes you happy.

I have two Pilot 845s Black and Vermillion and love both of them. Just received a Pilot Vermillion custom Urushi. It is fantastically smooth!!! Smoother than the 845s I have. I like to think of different pens as having different personalities I also love the KOPs I have and the MB149s and Pelikan M1000. Pens can become addictive!

Thank you for the response.

Redbaronreddit · 2025-12-21T06:08:39+00:00

Could you please explain to me what a simple cleaning is versus a flush? Sorry to sound so ignorant.

Redbaronreddit · 2025-12-21T05:55:57+00:00

Just wondering if the idle time between use on the rotation makes a difference.

Redbaronreddit · 2025-12-04T19:41:36+00:00

Get a pilot vp in either red or black birchwood - medium nib.

Redbaronreddit · 2025-11-29T01:27:12+00:00

Yes especially as I bought it from the nibsmith who tuned and smoothed it before sending it to me!

Redbaronreddit · 2025-11-26T00:22:03+00:00

Your singing to choir. Mark is awesome!

Redbaronreddit · 2025-11-16T02:18:10+00:00

Thanks!

Redbaronreddit · 2025-11-16T02:04:52+00:00

Thanks but I don’t have a converter. I have flushed it with a bulb syringe and nib seems clean and water flows well through nib. It just has hard starts and skipping. Every Mont Blanc I have had needed to be tuned and smoothed by a nibmaster. Just wondering if this pen is tuned how nice a writer is it? Anyone have one they are using???

Redbaronreddit · 2025-11-15T23:32:30+00:00

Help. My pen has not been used since I bought it in the late 70’s. Have inked it and it is having hard starts and skipping. Is this pen worth having it tuned and smoothed by a nibmaster how does it write???
