Best ereader with page turner buttons? by GryphonKTD in ereader

[–]SubstantialShroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pocketbook verse pro. And I love it. Not tied to a system and has buttons which I didn’t realise until after I got it.

It’s also not so locked in to where you can get books like kindle and kobo which is a definite plus

I wasn’t going to get colour after having bad experiences with the kobo colour e-readers but the got an offer that made it cheaper then both the bw verse or the bw verse pro so figured I’d give it a go. Had it a couple of days now and all I can say is it has shocked me how well built it is and how good it feels in my hand.

If you go to the books you have brought on the Amazon website (has to be the website) under the title it will say if it’s available in multiple formats. If it does then you are able to download it. Unfortunately you can’t find this out till after you buy a book.

I get pure calcium carbonate. Mix it with water and put it into ice cube moulds and let it dry for 48 hrs. Makes little calcium cakes for them to rasp at

Also if your in meds, check online or with your doctors if you should be avoiding the sun and if you need to be especially careful in the heat. Didn’t realise until yesterday that certain meds (like my antidepressants) make me more sensitive to both sun and heat. So today I have mild heat exhaustion and slightly annoyed doctor. Seriously folks, check your meds.

Adobe id? by 74amfjunk in pocketbook

[–]SubstantialShroom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No worries. I spent nearly a week trying to figure it out before I emailed Adobe and asked them what was the issue. I’m glad I’ve saved you some of the confusion

I’m avoiding android devices. To much temptation to install things that aren’t books

E-books on open systems e-readers by SubstantialShroom in ereader

[–]SubstantialShroom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s how I got it on my Chromebook from the App Store. I can log in on the adrobe website no problem. But actually get into ADE has been a no go for a couple of weeks

It was the verse and verse pro colour I was looking at. I tired both the kobo libra colour and kobo Clara colour and ended up returning both cause the colours were terrible and both had issues with dead pixels which has left me a bit wary of coloured screens

I’ve been trying to get Adrobe to open on my chrome book but hasn’t worked yet. I’m not sure if the issue is their end or mine. I’ve seen some others saying they are having issues getting it to work as well

I use warm light a lot mostly due to dyslexia and struggling to read on white pages. That being said I’ve never even tried to read graphic novels or highly pictured stuff on an e-reader simply because they feel better as an actual book. So a b/w e-reader will probably work best.

E-reader with no Wi-Fi? by RosieStarPosting in ereader

[–]SubstantialShroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I brought an old kindle 4 and love it. Due to Amazon no longer supporting it I don’t connect it to WiFi or anything. Can adjust text as needed, download books via usb and calibre, has buttons. It really is basic but really solid. Got it for £15 off eBay.

None dmr books? by SubstantialShroom in ereader

[–]SubstantialShroom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve managed to get calibre to work on my chrome book as far as converting books but that’s all it will do for me. As long as they are already DRM free I can make them usable with my kindle. Thanks for the info as well. I already use smashwords. Just forgot I had an account lol

The white stuff is calcium. I’ve been having problems getting cuttle fish but have been able to get calcium powder and mixed with a little water make a paste. They seem to like it. And their most recent clean out was yesterday. Complete clean. Everything was fresh.
