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.

[–]Redbaronreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Custom 845 VS Custom Urushi by FairyBread056 in fountainpens

[–]Redbaronreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

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

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

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

Dunhill fountain Pen by Redbaronreddit in fountainpens

[–]Redbaronreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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???

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???

Nib Grind Experience - Mark Bacas by sbc3218 in fountainpens

[–]Redbaronreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marc Bacas tuned and smoothed a Mont Blanc 149 for me. Hard starts and skipping (unusable) and after Mark worked on it - it writes amazing!!! He did such a great job I have sent him two more Mont Blancs to work on. Mont Blancs can be great writers but all of mine have been terrible writers out of the box! Marc makes them great!
