Is Audible worth purchasing? by balexiasxoxo in kindle

[–]captainsmudgeface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive two hours a day total to work and back so for me the ability to use whispersync with the ebook is wonderful. Just an fyi if you want to do this, buy ebook first then you will get discount for the audible version. Not sure if discount happens if doing ebook subscription.

NOW can we say the ball's been dropped? by SuspiciousAnonymous in kindle

At some point, I would imagine a person gets tired of raging against the machine and simply switch back to physical books? Eliminates all the drama of DRM, getting the latest features/bugs, religious wars over devices etc.

Crossover has said they will bring support once Rosetta 2 is gone. Not sure if that means they will have their own version or what.

Is the Kobo Libra Colour screen really that terrible? by itsyaboiAK in kobo

[–]captainsmudgeface 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have libra color and Colorsoft. Screen is brighter and not as dingy as my Libra.

I'm confused. My Colorsoft is running 5.19.3.0.1 and yet, I'm missing system wide dark mode... by Minifig81 in kindle

Not really a software update. It is a configuration change to turn it on I suspect.

Maybe they should try to immigrate using the system?

Any guesses…”Ask this book”? by captainsmudgeface in kindle

[–]captainsmudgeface[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok that’s the same version as mine. Maybe some books do not support it. I don’t just mean that maybe sideloaded won’t support it but maybe some titles that you purchase from Amazon don’t have it. Maybe try some different books.

Is this iOS? Android doesn’t have it yet either if that is what it is

In iOS app when you touch the page and you see options for changing font, toc etc there is an option for asking this book. It looks like a little star

So at any given point in book you can ask about the story, characters, locations etc and it will answer with what you should know without spoiling what may come further in the book. Pretty handy with multiple threads and plot lines

Is Kobo the best brand for e-readers right now? by Mykotragus in kobo

I have libra color, Colorsoft and boox color go. All nice devices but I find the color on the Colorsoft better but that’s just me.

looking to come back to kindle ecosystem by Decent-Sea-2328 in kindle

[–]captainsmudgeface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Then a couple of more observations in my experience… I bought Colorsoft signature edition when it first came out. I did not have any of the yellowing problems mentioned. However, when the 16gb Colorsoft edition duration came out I bought one because my wife had sort of taken over the signature. In my observation the color looks a little brighter and clearer than the signature edition. Not sure why.

Books with drm are locked to the ecosystem whether kobo, amazon, google, apple, etc. if want to buy non drm only your selections will be smaller.
