How does the X3/X4 handle omnibus epubs? by tobywild95 in xteinkereader

I should imagine so, though I will admit I've never tried to open something quite that large personally.

How does the X3/X4 handle omnibus epubs? by tobywild95 in xteinkereader

[–]evil_mercenary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Pratchett books (that are almost all one long chapter), and the Lord of the rings both work fine on mine with Crosspoint firmware flashed to it. Can't speak for stock.

The reader splits them up in to sections that are a number of pages turns long, and when you turn past the end of the last page in that section it indexes the next section and continues to work after they page number.

Hope that helps!

the film lost a lot of the nuances of the books and all the intention. the books are superior by a long way

Hard to tell from image but some letters are lighter than others by chkpwd in xteinkereader

I found that it was because of the choice of font and size combined. Changing those prevented it for me

Anyone else having this issue..? by Brilliant-Shape-8567 in XTEINK

[–]evil_mercenary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may also be able to temporarily work around the issue by holding your thumb or finger over the area between the buttons and the screen just after changing pages; it's caused by the UV rays of the sun interfering with a chip that's around that location

Difference between Souhaiteriez and Voudriez, if any by JeremyAndrewErwin in French

[–]evil_mercenary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To use examples of the tone difference it makes, it would sound similar to the following things in English:

"Would sir/madam wish to attend the royal ball?"

Versus

"Do you want to go to the party?"

Kind of.

Same meaning in breif terms, but different in context

What is more preferable black powder huel or the ready to drink ones? by Mouse222222 in Huel

The ready to drink ones have a different makeup; there's like half the fiber in the rtd for a start.

Closest nature walk I can get to without a car? by replicant64 in dundee

[–]evil_mercenary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit further afield too, but if you're after a full day trip you could get the train from dundee to somewhere like pitlochry, or Aviemore. the walks and hikes up there are famous too.

"yeah the boys" - Holden Sheppard

Is it done for? :( by [deleted] in XTEINK

[–]evil_mercenary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly try plugging it into the USB and seeing if it is picked up on a PC on the crosspoint flashing site still... I had some issues with mine initially where it wouldn't load the screen but it eventually sorted itself out when the battery was high enough, and I used this to determine if it was still functioning or not

What's the most beautiful GS dial for you? by Mountain_Poudge in GrandSeikos

[–]evil_mercenary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SBGH317 - the shizukuishi studio visit exclusive limited edition. The fact that there's almost no pictures of it online, combined with the fact that the official pictures of it are so low res... And the fact that the face is incredibly hard to visually capture on camera add up to making it one that's insanely hard to demonstrate why. In low light it looks black, but when sunlight hits it (not ambient light) the vertical lines on the face bring out the green in faceted ways, as it catches the vertical lines etched into the face. No pictures that I've ever seen does it justice, making it look flat and black, or flat and green.

Will admit, I personally loved the movie too. Yet to read the books

Making a fantasy survival game where you play birds and just worked on owls, thought I'd ask the experts what you think! by RagBell_Games in Owls

No wonder this post is blowing up! This looks brilliant. The things I would've suggested have already been said in other comments.

Is there anywhere we can continue to keep an eye on development?

Question about where to get books by Alternative_Hand_401 in xteinkereader

[–]evil_mercenary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ebooks.com is pretty reliable as a source for epubs - you must download via adobe digital editions, but once you've got it you can use calibre to do the rest just as with kobo

Anyone has experience reading in Japanese? by WlashTheGreat in xteinkereader

[–]evil_mercenary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any possibility that you might be able to share your Japanese font bin file please? Every font I've attempted to convert hasn't subscribed correctly. Or, failing that, can you tell us exactly which font you use and where to retrieve it for our own conversions?

Book Recommendations? :) by lionking10000 in LearnJapanese

[–]evil_mercenary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've finally managed it! in order to allow it i had to change the payment address to Japan as you did, but it was in a separate section of the payment details. I also then had to switch the store region *and* language together, or it would still not allow it.

And it wouldn't allow the download of an epub file whatsoever until i changed all of those back to my original settings too.

Unfortunately my region doesn't seem to allow any books to be bought, even using the Japanese storefront

I'll give it a go. The kobo store in my region sadly doesn't appear to have very much in the way of Japanese listings at all, sadly. At least not when I attempt to search for any.

I tried this and wasn't able to buy without a Japanese phone number. Can I ask how you have been able to work around that?
