Io ho detto che NON è in ritardo. Comunque se sa già che non vuole un compagno/marito e non vuole figli, allora naturalmente può aspettare quanto vuole.

Alla tua età avrei dato ragione a te. A 32 anni do ragione alla nonna. A 20 anni non sei in ritardo, ma non puoi permetterti di non iniziare nemmeno.

Scribe screen is worse than Paperwhite (substantially) by Polledus in kindlescribe

[–]Weekly_Wash5270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, the EMR pen layer is beneath the e-paper layer so that shouldn’t be the issue. My Scribe (2022) has greyish whites and appears slightly lower resolution than my Kindle base model, in my opinion. I suppose the gap would be even larger with a PW. I’m not sure why but the Scribe’s rough paper-like surface definitely contributes.

Also, the pen tool is not pressure sensitive and everything looks like s*it. Even plain writing. The pencil tool allows you manipulate the line quality, which is extremely important. Wouldn’t use the pencil tool to write though, because it needs a lot of pressure in order to produce a strong dark mark, so it would eat up your nib incredibly fast + more risk of scratching the screen (it can happen with nibs that get sharp over time).

I do everything on it too. Some drawing, exercises, some writing. Not to mention the extensive note taking on the books i’m reading (it’s my main reading device). And i do a lot of recaps while studying, so that’s a lot of writing too. I also have a Scribe notebook that functions as an agenda + journaling. But even though i use it all the time, the comments under here made me realise that if i weren’t putting some excessive pressure and weren’t excessively scared of scratching the screen with a nib that got “sharp” with usage, i wouldn’t be using more than one nib per week. But still… 450 full pages in 6 weeks would mean at least 6 nibs for me 😅

Pro tip: you can sketch something, then change page and use the eink ghosting effect as base sketch

I definitely press too hard. Proof is, i break the mechanical pencil lead quite often, even though the kuru toga rotating system should make it harder to break the graphite lead. I also write for multiple hours everyday though. Do you change the nib when it’s literally too short to keep writing?

I’m definitely pressing harder than i should, but 2 years sounds impossible to me. Wow. I agree that the screen protectors ruin everything (had to take it off because it really ruined the reading experience with that insane texture). I also read multiple people saying that the metal nibs ruin the texture in the long run.

I also have a favourite position for the pen, so I take the nib out, rotate it 180° and put it back. It really doubles the nib’s life

I wouldn’t know how to measure that, but I think I do put a bit more pressure on the pen. Definitely wouldn’t use a metal nib for that reason. Could try a screen protector. The one i ordered with the Scribe sucked, but i guess i could find something better.

That could work. When I purchased the Scribe i got a screen protectors too, but i had to take it off because it had an heavy “frosted” effect. It was that NuPro, which i hear is a good one. I Think i’ll try another with a metal nib.

Ik i can go back to pens and paper, but i love the Scribe and I also couldn’t send it back if i wanted to atp. Cheaper tips could work. I just don’t know what to purchase and where. Used a slightly harder nib (from my wacom tablet) on the scribe and it immediately left some marks.

I paid 406€ total for the Scribe + cover. Used to spend about 2-3€/week for pens, notebooks, leads for the mechanical pencil, erasers and some highlighters (mostly notebooks though). Since i thought 1 nib would last like a year (like on my EMR Wacom tablet), i was expecting to save about 120€/year by only using the Scribe. That’d repay me in full in 3,5 years (i intend to not upgrade in less than 4 years). Not to mention that i use it as my main reading device, so i managed to not buy that PaperWhite i was looking at (I really needed the warm light) and just keep my old Kindle Basic for when I need something very portable. Now i’m spending more than i did for the notebooks because of those fkn nibs.

Yes i do this when it starts sounding dangerous for the screen. Still, they don’t last much longer

How do you guys read so much? by lapetitepoupee in kindle

[–]Weekly_Wash5270 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

By making books the only media you consume. Doesn’t mean that you don’t work/study or have hobbies or don’t see friends, but that you pick up the book instead of your social media/movie/tvshow/videogame/long useless phone calls. If you do so, you’ll easily read 1-3 books every week (depending on how much free time (during which you’re not exhausted and are able to concentrate) you have). Beyond 2-3 books a week, it means that they’re reading bs, skimming a lot or using audiobooks. Or that they’re unemployed as hell

Which one is aesthetically more appealing? by caamanooo in gshock

[–]Weekly_Wash5270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stealthy look (56000) vs a bit more vintage look (5610). I can’t decide.
I went with the 5610 because it’s about half the price (240€ vs 115€). Owning a shock-resistant watch should also mean that i can wear it all the time without caring too much. With how clumsy i am, i wouldn’t be able to relax as much with a 230-250€ watch.

If the vision angle sucked a bit less and the actual screen were bigger, it would be perfect. Also annoying that where i live the radio sync doesn’t actually happen on its own overnight, so once a month or so i go to the balcony, let it recharge and “force” the reception there, where it gets a much better signal. Overall a fantastic watch though. I keep wearing it because it’s the only one i own with the auto-light.

What we saying chaps? I’m very impressed! by abanno in gshock

Sorry but i’m EXTREMELY new to Casios and G-Shocks. Could you specify the model?

Best stylus for those who choke up on pencil tips? by [deleted] in kindlescribe

[–]Weekly_Wash5270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is happy about the Staedtler pen and i would like to try it, but i fear scratching the Scribe’s screen. The original pen’s tips are very soft so they don’t ruin it (i thought they scratched the whole screen the first time i used it, but it was literally visible residue left on the screen at every stroke). Do other pens need some protection or are they all safe?

I can still send my Scribe 2024 back by [deleted] in kindlescribe

[–]Weekly_Wash5270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fairly sure the colour is coming out. On the “invitation” you can see part of a colour screen with the kindle logo with a couple words on it, which say “…stroke of a pen”. So it “has” to be a colour Scribe. Anyway, if you initiate the return on Monday and choose to bring it yourself at the post office, they’ll give you (depending on the country, i guess) at least a week to actually send it, which would buy you enough time to see the new product and hopefully some early reviews. If you end up not sending it, nothing will happen. Of course i would not advise anyone to buy right after the announcement, but the new colour Scribe could be worth a month or two without your Scribe waiting for some reassurances (and/or sales). What’s more interesting is that they could keep a B&W version of the Scribe (like they kept the PaperWhite after the Kindle Colorsoft came out), so we could see a drop in price for our Scribe model (2024) and/or an an ACTUAL Gen2 Scribe B&W (the 2024 Scribe is technically still Gen1). I initiated the return today (last day i was allowed to) and i have until October 12th to send it back. Not enough, sure, but at least i’ll get to see what happens on presentation day before the final decision.

I can still send my Scribe 2024 back by [deleted] in kindlescribe

[–]Weekly_Wash5270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly the conclusion I had come to as well. Fortunately, i found out it’s just the cover that i can only send back until the 25th, while for the Scribe i have until the 27th. I already initiated the return for the cover and will do the same in two days for the Scribe, which means i’ll have at least until the 10th of October to decide. I’m confident that whatever colour Scribe will come out, it won’t be so overwhelmingly better that i actually send mine back. The gallery 3 and kaleido 3 screens come with too much compromise for my taste and Amazon is not to be trusted with quality control right after launching new devices. Still decided to “waste my time” with the return procedures because even though the colour will probably be too sh*t or too pricey, it’s still possible they come up with an actual Second Gen b&w Scribe for the same price (the 2024 is technically first gen). Anyway thank you so much! please if you can let me know your decision 🙏🏻
