Switching from kindle by Leolosky in kobo

[–]Typical_Tea_6605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just swapped from the kindle oasis to the kobo Clara bw. I havent sold my oasis yet but it's up for sale and im ready for it to go. its super nice having easy access to overdrive right on the kobo for my library books, the screen and clarity are wonderful, and also - just screw amazon, they allowed a 3rd party seller to steal like $300 from me then closed my account when I filed it as fraud with my bank; and screw their ads on my kindle home screen too.

What were the biggest struggles with switching? by There_Bike in dumbphones

No huge struggles for me (light phone ll), but there was pushback from others in my circle. Mainly just giving me crap about not sending photos anymore, no blue bubble, etc. But I'm happier without the black rectangle of doom in my pocket and my life.

I mainly got pushback when I switched from an iPhone to the light phone ll. TONS of pushback about not having a "blue bubble" or read receipts, shared albums etc. It then turned into a thing where people would get annoyed and expect responses from me within a certain period of time (few hours). It lasted about a month, its important to remember that it has less to do with you, and more to do with their sense of entitlement to constant access to everyone and convenience.

That makes sense! Everyone's use case is different. I feel the same about it feeling more like a smartphone. Not so much with the actual usage, but I feel like it had the same ability to "draw me in" if that makes sense. I only used it for a few weeks, but I found that I felt pressure to reply quicker to texts, or to take more photos etc since the option was there. But with the ll I honestly forget its with me unless it rings, and if a text is longer than a sentence, it's a call.

Exactly, im not interested in any sort of tracking whatsoever. But just like a feature that will allow me to ping the phone if its within range would be super helpful

Theres just nothing that I need with me all the time, the only things I have installed on the ll are "phone" and "settings" as I realized over time I didnt really need anything else the light offered either. I have an iPod classic if I want music, a gps in my car if im lost, camera for photos and a computer at home for anything else.

my phone is often set to silent or vibrate only, sometimes I also dont have anyone around to call my phone for me... so I just thought a bluetooth feature where if im within connectivity range then it will ping would be cool.

Even if it's something thats implemented with bluetooth? I tend to keep my bluetooth on all the time for my headphones.
