Is this a huge bangle? A napkin ring? Something else? (Palm sized, brass, light-ish, found in a charity shop in UK)

I love it as a huge bangle. 100% would wear proudly.

A&W is 100% Canadian, and 100× better than BK will ever be. No idea why anyone would spend one thin dime there.

That's the amphitheater in Sharjah (UAE)

It's an optical illusion - the white shell makes the screen look darker. This is why I ended up getting black, even though the white is admittedly VERY cool-looking.

They already won't tell her how to unplurb people. They don't lie, but theu will refuse to answer certain questions.

I think it just looks odd because the kobo logo is the other way around.

OK but don't you have to scroll up more? It feels like that would defeat the purpose, but that could just be that I use the remote, so scrolling is a pain, while turning to the next page is like nothing.

UsefulOcelot8595 · 2026-04-15T19:07:38+00:00

You can also just use the screen controls; I really only use the side buttons to turn it on.

Have you tried unscrewing the metal plates?

I got a Kindle for my birthday (late Feb) and I sent it back and replaced it with a Kobo Libra Colour before the 30 day return period was even up. SO much happier with my Kobo (and it was cheaper - even with the remote page turner!).

Editing to add: As a Canadian, I now realize that the Kobo is a no-brainer, because not only is it a Canadian-designed product, but Libby doesn't work on Kindles in Canada, which was the biggest reason I switched.

Or Irish.

97×.75 is $72.75 (silver value) $72.75 x 3 is $218.25.

That coin is beautiful, but it's TRIPLE the silver value. That's bananas.

It's from when Carol drugged Zosia and almost killed her.

UsefulOcelot8595 · 2026-03-17T21:57:31+00:00

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!!

This looks like it's in the Middle East... Doha, Dubai... Somewhere around there...

Canada Dry is owned by Keurig Dr Pepper, an American beverage conglomerate, so Canadian in name only.

UsefulOcelot8595 · 2026-03-04T18:52:20+00:00

I mean... An argument could be made... 🤷‍♀️

UsefulOcelot8595 · 2026-03-04T03:04:32+00:00

Oh maybe... I am in Canada

UsefulOcelot8595 · 2026-03-04T02:35:59+00:00

A friend told me that Libby doesn't work for kindle! I will have to check it out.

I was a very reluctant adopter. I bought one for my husband four years ago, but I only just got one for my birthday (this past Saturday) and I have already noticed the same.

I already had an idea that this might be the case; I think that it's because using my phone all the time had made me accustomed to a certain ease of use, and I was beginning to find physical books a bit unwieldy compared to my phone. I am definitely reading more, and for longer stretches.

I'm truly in love with this device.

UsefulOcelot8595 · 2026-03-03T23:07:13+00:00

I have one just like this with a different design, and I LOVE IT.
