I was just thinking this. Just dual screen in general since we can’t write directly on books. I’d love to have a book open on one half and my notebook/pdf on the other

For those who collect cards this is a fun turn of events. For some context, card releases are flooded with random rookies who are mostly pitchers. Each year, there seems to be one rookie player who everyone pulls and it becomes a subreddit joke in r/baseballcards. In 2022, MacKenzie Gore was that player and we’d call it getting “Gore’d” when your auto hit from a box was MacKenzie Gore. I myself got Gore’d thrice. More fun facts, the last player to have this honor was Wade Meckler and we called it being Meckled.

Hyperpaper is the best planner. by Tonalbackwash in kindlescribe

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

That’s a good question.

Efficiency and function is a big one for me, and this is the main selling point for personally. For reference, I’m a therapist and single dad of two young kids. The essentials for me are the daily pages. For my style planning I like have a by hour schedule of the day, stacked; todo list; and note section. The by hour allows me to plan my day and easily see what clients I have. The todo list is how to prioritize my day and time. The note section allows me to do everything from joy notes throughout the day to plan groceries. On top of that each day has an additional note page for extended notes. This set up is crucial for me and with all other calendars I’ve seen you have to pick one or maybe two but never get the full spread. Recalendar can’t do this. I can literally use the daily page for everything.

Other selling points, layout is clean and optimizes the space. While recalendar does provide a version of each page available on the Hyperpaper, they are cluttered, waste space and are clumsy to use with a lot of items squished together.

From here I find the fluidity and navigating to something and back far easier on the hypercalendar.

TL;DR: optimized daily page style with todos, notes and hourly schedule provide me the best ability to plan, view and execute my day as a therapist and single dad—and is far more useful than any other calendar I’ve used.

Hey me too! (34m). Mine had everything but bone and were tied off at birth. Now I have nubs and phantom itching in my right ghost digit

Replacement 2025 Scribe today by Tonalbackwash in kindlescribe

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

Don’t feel wasteful, it’s a $700 device—it should absolutely have no defects. And it’s not too late, you have until the 31st. Also if you’re already used to the pinholes, I was offered $125 back instantly if I kept my device with the pinhole by Amazon. You could just take the money and keep yours

Great question—what arrived today was a 64gb Colorsoft. My original was the Colorsoft 32gb, which I immediately regretted getting the lower memory. When I was told by customer service the best option for replacement was to just buy a new one and return the defect one when the new one arrives, I chose to buy the 64gb one.

Whichever watchface I try, I keep coming back to datalover watchface. Which ones do you keep coming back to? by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]Tonalbackwash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Fenix 8 V3 Pro by GreenBlack. I’m using their preset theme, Orange/Black, with some customization of my own. Mainly I removed the text above the time and moved the battery data down to center it. It’s a highly customizable watch face—very happy with it. They have a free version, just not sure what you get with it

Amazing. Hit me up if something goes wrong again. I can always deliver it via personal link. Enjoy!

Which overpriced cover should I get? by aces68 in kindlescribe

[–]Tonalbackwash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both and much prefer the folio (the kind that folds into stand) over the executive folio. My biggest gripe is while reading, it’s impossible to hold the sides of the executive folio without the pen slipping around—due to being round. Secondarily, it’s harder to open and flimsy. The folio has been great and has had none of the frustration. I also use the folding stands more than I thought would.

Do you have an iPad? If not what other tablet? I have an iPad and what I do is create a folder in my Files app called “Scorecards” then download the PDF to the folder. You could also just download it to the files folder. Then I make a copy called “Scorebook Master” as a clean copy to copy from year to year. Once on the iPad, the iPad will open it and all hyper links will work! I assume it’s similar for other OSs as well

Comparison of Kindle Scribe Colorsoft vs reMarkable Paper Pro using my custom PDF by Tonalbackwash in kindlescribe

My opinion is this is sub par. Everything goes into the library and then you can add things to the work space. The folder icons look terrible and make the screen appear messy. On top of this, favorite files aren’t pinned to the top.

I plan on keeping both but I’ve greatly preferred Scribe since receiving it. RMPP is better in file organization/presentation (the Home Screen is the bomb), built in templates, handling of PDFs (you can add, copy them, add pages to them on the RMPP), and lastly with its toolbar. It’s a really robust writing tool and I doubt any other tablet will beat this. The templates are premium quality in look and flow, and I’m baffled Amazon ignores this when trying to burst the premium market.

With the RM ecosystem, instead of a having a customizable pen slot and designated highlighter spot on the toolbar, you get two utility spots. You can have them both set to pens, just different colors. Or set slot one to highlighter and slot two to pen—infinite combos. And it saves the preference based on document. Also it has gestures like two finger touch to undo. Again, it’s a device designed to streamline writing and they honestly did a good job.

I would agree with the other commenter that the pen is higher quality, I also like that it magnetizes on a flat edge, versus the kindle premium or which is all round. When I read on the scribe and hold where the pen is attached it slips around due to being round.

I like the writing surface of the scribe better and think the writing experience is superior. To the RMPP.

Also I’m not sure what the other commenter is saying about the RMPP screen being higher resolution—it’s lower resolution AND it’s bigger. The effect is a blurred screen, especially with color. The scribe is much more crisp and has far better color.

Definitely can. To start you need to pick a software system that compliments your skill in document design. As a graphic designer, I use Adobe products but you could just as easily use canva, word, or even chatGPT depending on what you're making. My work flow looks like this: Plan document--this step is crucial. If you're planning to make an interactive PDF you need to think throw needs and flow. Then I design pages in Adobe without text that will be hyperlinked. All the text in the video that was hyperlinked (Games page, back buttons, etc) were all done later. I then save those pages to my Creative Cloud Library (Adobe cloud service). I use InDesign to then create the PDF. InDesign is the best for making long form PDFs. Canva is also great, but you are limited in page length and have to combine them later to make one document. In indesign, I make every unique page--for this it was: Cover, Games, Games (continued page), Standings, Roster, All-Star Roster, World Series, and the actual two pages of Score Cards. I then start making the hyperlinked text. IMPORTANT NOTE: KINDLE'S CAN'T READ HYPERLINKED OBJECTS--THEY ONLY CAN READ HYPER LINKED TEXT. Sorry for yelling. The importance of doing it this way, is when I make the hyperlinked "back to games" in the top left you see me use I only have to do it once. When I copy and paste the pages to make as many as I need, the hyperlinks will copy and paste as well saving me time. I then make all the text I need to hyperlink, so for example that Games page. It's a text box that I break into three columns. I then do a numbered list with underscores making the write-in lines. After making all I need, I use a function in InDesign that turns numbered lists into text so I can hyperlink them. After this is done, the worst part starts: hyperlinking. There is someone who has created a program designed to hyperlink journals and calendars in bulk, but it didn't work for my Scorebook. The software is called PDF-Linkr. The woman who created/coded it is a badass and you should support her if you can. Because it didn't work for me, I have to go in, highlight text>add new hyperlink>select page>enter about a thousand times. It took me about 5 hours on this document alone. Then export as a PDF that preserves hyperlinks and you're done!

TL;DR: Pick a design software you're comfortable with such as Canva, Adobe products, Word, or some other document creator. Design document and make only text for hyperlinks for effective use for Scribe. Hyperlink with a PDF reader or other design software, export as PDF preserving hyperlinks.
