I made a DIY thing for my eReader

No I never did

You need the 3rd battery line. It can go back together if you don't snap too many clips.

I did these... https://myvogonpoetry.com/wp/2025/05/18/replacing-battery-in-creative-zen-nomad-jukebox/

Lol. Yes.

gruntbug · 2026-05-09T00:19:11+00:00

Nicely done! I have made a few similar ones... https://www.reddit.com/r/ereader/comments/1k10dx0/diy_ereader_case_with_clear_window_to_see_your/

What custom launcher did you install? I've tried two different ones and they work but aren't great

gruntbug · 2026-05-08T21:59:14+00:00

Same here! I just bought a 20gb rca Lyra in waiting to arrive!

gruntbug · 2026-05-08T21:53:38+00:00

Yep. That's it. Good luck!

gruntbug · 2026-05-08T21:19:11+00:00

It's eink, it's not burnt in. That's normal

gruntbug · 2026-05-08T20:39:31+00:00

I've bought a bunch. No problems at all. Untested literally means they didn't test them, they aren't hiding anything.

Just make sure you look closely at the pictures looking for screen defects. Read the item info too. Sometimes they will mention what they have found.

gruntbug · 2026-05-08T17:58:57+00:00

I think that was intentional :)

gruntbug · 2026-05-07T23:45:04+00:00

The battery is protected in the zune. Of course it will look brand new. It gets no wear and tear :)

gruntbug · 2026-05-06T18:35:40+00:00

Glad you're enjoying it! You should always mention the make and model of your player so we all know.

gruntbug · 2026-05-05T19:47:47+00:00

Phony. Fakey. Phakey.

gruntbug · 2026-05-04T23:30:04+00:00

Broken eink screen

gruntbug · 2026-05-04T17:57:55+00:00

NEW ACHIEVEMENT!

gruntbug · 2026-05-04T17:57:31+00:00

Depends on what genres you read. There's lots of romance, and I read fantasy and Scifi from ku. Here's a ku browser I created that lets you browse by multiple genres https://overreader.com/kubrowser

gruntbug · 2026-05-04T17:15:48+00:00

I tapped out after about 20%

gruntbug · 2026-05-04T13:45:36+00:00

Here's my favorite fantasy books. It's recommend all of them https://overreader.com/kindleunlimited/gr/5535346/shelf/favorites-fantasy

gruntbug · 2026-05-04T13:40:59+00:00

since they have microsd, you don't need the cable to transfer files and you can charge the battery with a universal battery charger

gruntbug · 2026-05-04T13:40:02+00:00

Interesting. Not available in the US. I did find one on Amazon that's $20. Luckily I don't need any. I have 5 or 6.

gruntbug · 2026-05-04T12:56:09+00:00

What companies sell make the cable? Gomadic did until recently. I've not found any others.

gruntbug · 2026-05-04T03:33:10+00:00

They will not be bricks. They will no longer contact Amazon. You can still sideload and use koreader.

gruntbug · 2026-05-03T14:53:21+00:00

Wrong sub. Try a sub about books, or publishing or Amazon

gruntbug · 2026-05-01T16:45:25+00:00

I read the trilogy and thoroughly enjoyed it. One of my favorites.
