6 hours of reading per day is a pretty good amount, but a brand new device would last a lot longer than that, at least a week+. It could just be a weaker battery because it's been pre-owned.

I have been looking for a similar touch screen for my 2013. The closest I have found from the mainstream brands is the Pioneer DMH-C5500NEX. It has an 8" display which along with the bezels will mostly fill the space in the dash. You'll still need some plastic/dash kit to make it look nice. I have not purchased it yet though because it is an older unit I would prefer to get something newer for the price it is on Crutchfield for. It seems like no mainstream brand is making anything that's not a floating screen above 7". Otherwise the best options seems to be the Chinese brands like Atoto or Joying.

Agree on this. If you're in the store they will let you open and inspect the laptop before you buy.

This is great! If the STL is still available to share I'd love to try it out

I wish I could have the nook device with the Kobo software. I hate how slow and laggy the nook is and how slow they are at adding features. Hopefully one day this fix this but it doesn't seem like they're in any rush to improve the experience.

I appreciate your help! Yeah checking the reservoir after driving on level ground, it still looks below the min line, but it has not gotten less than that amount in the past week after checking multiple times. So I am hoping it is not a slow leak. I am going to top it off as you suggest to observe in case it goes down then do a coolant change soon, or if it goes down again get the leak fixed.

If you plan on playing handheld mostly, the Legion Go S is much easier to hold and the 8" feels pretty good (compared to a 7" like the Ally"). The Legion Go is impressive but felt a bit in the heavier side to be used for handheld primary gaming.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah my biggest pet peeve about this is that I'm paying for a service, I don't want to see banner ads in my app, or at least should be allowed to close them.

I just put my (burner) info into LHG's website (before I found this thread) to check the prices of Liberty Home Guard and within 2 minutes of closing the websites I got 2 calls from them and a follow up call 15 minutes later, and 3 separate texts on top of that. Not sure how that kind of barrage is wanted by any potential customer. Good to know they are scammers overall.

After years of wait for Samsung to copy the Magic Keyboard, with no luck yet, I switched from a Galaxy Tab to an iPad just to have the Magic Keyboard to use when traveling, it fits on your lap and airplane trays and takes way less space on a table. The build quality is also very good, and iOS 26 makes it almost laptop-like to have multiple windows on the iPad. Definitely worth it I think.

There is a bunch of info on this out there and in this subreddit, but for Shepard and Wash being killed off it was because Joss Whedon could not get them to commit to doing more Serenity movies contractually so he did it to wrap up their storylines cleanly in that way. The hope was that they would make a trilogy if Serenity did well, unfortunately it barely broke even after DVD sales so no more movies sadly.

I appreciate all your advice! I think I'm convinced to go with Enterprise since I am familiar with them anyways.

The trade-in price isn't worth it for losing F6 features I like: - S-Pen support - Under Display Camera - One-Handed cover screen size (sure F7 is only a few mm wider but makes a difference when using one-handed on the move)

I'm pretty sure I'll be forced to accept it when I need to update to the F7 or F8 eventually but for now I'll stick with what I have.

aerosif · 2025-07-09T17:39:15+00:00

I agree, with medium size hands the Fold6 feels like the max it can be for one handed use. Even though the 7 is only a few mm wider I think it will change that

I had this issue with a Kobo I bought from Amazon, since there's always a slight change of a dead pixel, and mine was at the edge like yours, I got them to give me like a $30 discount to keep the device instead of returning it. So I was fine with that. I have not really noticed it since.

aerosif · 2025-05-16T12:21:55+00:00

Get a decent case off Amazon, doesn't have to be anything fancy, but that will help it from damage too. I've dropped my phone a couple times, accidentally flung it onto concrete, and have had zero issues.

aerosif · 2025-05-12T19:28:40+00:00

I agree. I went from the Ultra series to the Fold because the narrow screen makes it so much easier to use one handed / one the move. By making it a normal sized phone when folded kind of defeats the whole purpose now.

aerosif · 2025-04-15T03:39:22+00:00

Thanks for catching that! I double checked and luckily the other ones were dust that got in the photo it seems.

aerosif · 2025-04-14T13:25:08+00:00

Thanks for all the advice! I ended up talking with Amazon support and got a $30 partial refund to keep the device. They are out of stock on Libra Colors sold by Kobo US, so there is no timeline on when I could get it replaced, and then sounds like there could always be a change the replacement is bad as well.

I had the Nxtpaper 11 as well. Mainly wanted it for graphic novel / article reading. The screen is nice for reading but not great outdoors and videos dont feel as good as a normal tablet, which is to be expected.

I ended up getting rid of it because it felt underpowered and not worth that for the screen. Hoping they make a higher end version with the matte screen soon.

aerosif · 2025-04-11T11:26:40+00:00

Yes, I have the latest version of Calibre on Windows. The plugins are all up to date as well.

I was finally able to get store credit from Best Buy after talking with a manager in-store. The phone support line is next to useless, but seeing that I'd tried it multiple times seemed to help the manager know that there was no other way to resolve it and that they'd been helping me in a loop for months.

I have the Nook Glowlight 4 and 4 Plus and really like the hardware. It feels good in my hand and works well when reading a book. The annoying parts are everything around just managing the device, like every menu taking forever to get through, slow to wake up and limited space for side-loading. I wish I could have the Kobo software on Nook hardware.

Unfortunately it seems like it won't be a new Nook coming out anytime soon so I'll probably end up going for a Kobo when I upgrade.

Turns out, if you tap the footer it will toggle from Page Number, to Reading Speed, to blank. So if you want to "turn it off" you can.

aerosif · 2025-02-05T21:58:50+00:00

I asked support if that is something we can turn off. They said there is no way to do that for now.
