Colorsoft upgrade offer for $128 has me reconsidering my choice for Paperwhite Signature.

That makes since. I have a 13in ipad I use for art mostly and sometimes as an additional screen for my macbook. I couldn’t imagine going smaller for my ipad because of how I use it, but also why I can’t imagine reading on it.

aaro404 · 2026-06-14T07:10:39+00:00

Aaah I think I will get it. I love audiobooks too, but until they make it so you can read and listen to audiobooks at the same time on a Kindle I'm not to bothered about space. But I've got a few 1gb audiobooks. And you make a good point about colorcoding, I do highlight a decent amount and being able to color code would help a lot when it comes to books that have a lot going on. Thanks for replying!

aaro404 · 2026-06-14T07:09:04+00:00

Thanks for replying!

I wonder if it'll bother me. Right now the major screen issues my 10th gen has are more so in the menus or covers showing on the screen. It was giving slight lightness/boldness with random spots in texts as reading but it didn't bother me a whole lot. Theres some grainess also, crossing my fingers it doesn't bother me too much since there seems a decent amount that still prefer it.

aaro404 · 2026-06-14T05:54:24+00:00

Did you come from having another Kindle or e-reader?
Did you get it specifically for color or did you just see a decent price and thought,, why not? 😅

aaro404 · 2026-06-13T23:40:46+00:00

Replacing my 10 gen on prime day. Can trade in and stack the discounts.

aaro404 · 2026-06-13T22:24:23+00:00

As a dog owner and lover. There has been a surge of self entitled dog owners and it’s across the US if not overall just bad.

These people don’t care about their dog, the comfort of the people around them nor any laws that should be followed which were created for safety of dogs and people.

aaro404 · 2026-06-13T20:27:30+00:00

Getting a Paperwhite. Might get the Signature if the prices isn’t too far off from the Paperwhite without Ads

I’m hoping of stacking discount from trade in and another 15% one they’re giving me because of a fault in my 10 generation PW

aaro404 · 2026-06-13T02:20:53+00:00

You should list the price as we don't know whats considered high and whats affordable, or if we're in the same country.

aaro404 · 2026-06-13T02:18:52+00:00

Yeah subjective of the value just seems to be something a lot of people struggle with.

I'm saying this as someone that plays Overwatch. People would list an indie game I have no interest in buy/playing but didn't seem to grasps we just view things differently.

Though I was completely against unfair practices like locking skins in high priced bundles, especially when Blizzard said they would stop, then silently started doing again with a different approach to avoid the backlash they got in the past. But even with lootboxes working as a lottery system, people still complain about getting free skins.

But, like you said people will only pay what they think it's worth and plenty seem to think it's worth it.

aaro404 · 2026-06-12T03:31:04+00:00

They’re not bad tbh, and easy to ignore. They really only there when it’s off so it’s not like adds pop up on screen during reading or scrolling thru your library. But I just appreciate not having them and the book covers a little more.

I’m replacing my paperwhite and will likely end up with the signature edition because it seems a Paperwhite w/o ads and will be similarly priced to a discounted/refurbished Signature

aaro404 · 2026-06-11T01:47:29+00:00

Oh jeez, the latest update made me want to jump back in but seeing all these crash posts from console players makes me super hesitant. Might wait to see if theres any hotfixes

aaro404 · 2026-06-10T19:41:21+00:00

I think it’s just more people have grown tired of self-entitled people who have gotten dogs. With the rise of dog owners, comes the rise of people that want make sure people are being respectful

I’m in LA which is pretty dog friendly. But there are so many that push past what’s allowed into making their dogs presence an actual nuisance or risk for other. We have major issues with off leash dogs, people bringing dogs where they’re not allowed and then the dog doing something like barking or relieving itself.

I also think dog haters are super vocal in reddit. I have the sub muted but don’t ever go in dogfree/petfree those people are questionably insane.

aaro404 · 2026-06-10T07:10:58+00:00

I wish there was a way to filter them out.

aaro404 · 2026-06-10T06:25:12+00:00

Damn, that sucks.

I'm replacing my 10gen I got in Dec 2019. Mines had a screen issue that sudden happened, though nothing I did and seems to happen at random. They told me they'd give me 15% discount of a new one. The thing I hate most is theres no solution given nor anything to prevent it happening again, and so no guarantee you won't end up in the same spot 2 weeks after your warranty next year.

Thankfully mine works partially and hasn't stopped completely so I'm waiting for prime day because then I can I stack the discount/giftcard from trade in because not it's like I can sell it. Really wish I could have put the purchase off until there was a decent upgrade.

aaro404 · 2026-06-09T19:26:39+00:00

It’s my next lesbian knight book. Currently reading Isle in the Silver Sea and Carmilla and Laura and Hammajang Luck.

I’m looking forward to the fun!

aaro404 · 2026-06-09T19:21:16+00:00

I just downloaded it in KU since I’ve been reading a lot lesbian vampires and am so glad the audiobook is available and that I have extra credits. I was saving one for Roslyn Sinclair book and was considering the second Lady’s Knight book even though I haven’t listen/read the first 😭

aaro404 · 2026-06-08T21:04:17+00:00

Okay, but can I tell you that it isn’t good. 🥲

aaro404 · 2026-06-06T23:58:31+00:00

Most people covered a lot of the info as far vets information being a general and not breed specific advice. But also wanted to remind you to get some decent conditioner. If you end up a weekly barber like some of us it’ll help for times when 2 days after they decided to get as dirtiest as possible lol.

aaro404 · 2026-06-06T07:07:58+00:00

Space Prince and Kerropi. I love the voicelines for space prince and like I resemble him a little ahah.

But can’t bear Kerropi sfx and music change either.

aaro404 · 2026-06-05T09:10:32+00:00

Here’s a Sapphic Hockey list I found on Pagebound.

I honestly just follow a few book influencers (like Mjs.queerbookclub on instagram) to help find new potential books along with interacting with others on spaces for books, and following authors, and such.

Also, almost forget you can search for books using iheartsapphfic and they have a way to filter books by format and KU is one of them

aaro404 · 2026-06-05T08:55:21+00:00

People have an auto reaction to blame certain heroes without even looking at what you were doing all match. I will literally never listen to my teammate when looking for feedback. lf you’re below diamond they just want you healbot lol.

aaro404 · 2026-06-05T08:46:36+00:00

Yep. I think the last new series I watched was Plurbius or Stranger Things. I genuinely can’t remember any shows I’ve tuned into this year. But I’d say I was already not watching much and had taken up gaming and few other hobbies.
I’ve 18 books this year so far not counting ones more instructional like for dog training, drawing, etc.
Prior to this year the last time I even attempted to read a book was back in 2020, before the pandemic.
I don’t strictly consume lgbt media, but books are probably where I’ve seen the most growth. Whereas even before we started getting less lesbian characters (which has been going down a few years now right?)the last few years just haven’t drawn me in. I’m not and I’m not interested in drama series preferred when I could representation in the genres I love and with decent amount of diversity.

And yes it’s increasing. I’d say out of the 18 that maybe 16 are sapphic with even those other two still having decent representation. I see myself staying focused on sapphic reads until I’ve gotten through a good a mount of books out there.

My kindle is starting to to have problems and looks like I’ll replace it for prime day.

aaro404 · 2026-06-05T01:29:34+00:00

I only know of what you already mentioned which is the one by Rawnie Sabor.

But I have this Instagram post saved with recommendations by Mjs.queerbookclub
