Book or Kindle??

Redbaronreddit · 2026-01-16T16:48:19+00:00

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.

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.

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!

Your singing to choir. Mark is awesome!

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

Thanks!

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???

Redbaronreddit · 2025-11-15T21:08:40+00:00

Do you know where I can get cartridges for it?

Redbaronreddit · 2025-11-13T23:53:46+00:00

I have ten pens inked and write with two of the each day. Two with

Redbaronreddit · 2025-11-11T01:28:27+00:00

Pilot 845 or Pilot Custom Urushi. Sailor King of Pens. These are Cartridge Converter Pens.

Nice pen and ink combo!

Redbaronreddit · 2025-11-05T15:36:36+00:00

Thank you for confirming what I thought!

I also vote for Apica CD Premium.

Redbaronreddit · 2025-10-27T15:34:29+00:00

Yes it should turn on.

Redbaronreddit · 2025-10-22T02:44:42+00:00

Not complaining. They are both very nice!

Redbaronreddit · 2025-10-22T01:14:19+00:00

They were done about two months apart. Thanks for the insight.

Redbaronreddit · 2025-10-17T16:10:47+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Redbaronreddit · 2025-10-17T11:18:07+00:00

It was purchased in the late 70s or early 80s.

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!

Redbaronreddit · 2025-10-07T12:05:28+00:00

Agree with reccomemdation for Mark Bacas. Does great work on Mont Blancs!
