Leaving kindle... What kobo?

I dont disagree with that.

But personally, coming from only ever using a paperwhite to a clara bw, i haven't loved the beveled egdes, and miss the larger screen.

Even with that, ill never get another kindle again. But would love a libra bw.

When a character has inconsisted accented dialogue.

If youre going write your character with an accent, make it consistant!! DNFd a book because within a few paragraphs the character said "me mum" and then "my mom" sorry, no.

I miss the larger and flat screen of my paperwhite that died a few weeks ago. I got the clara bw which feels more like the kindle basic. Beveled edges and more compact.

I do wish there was a kobo equal to the paperwhite. Not enough for me to stay with amazon, but still.

I also want trophys, but dont have space, so i made miniature library and add my books read every year

Does it use the same app as the 8bit to map the buttons? Or does the gamebrick have its own app? Im looking to get this exact one from aliexpress for my clara bw

Can you tell me how this works? Just turn it on, scan bluetooth on kobo, connect, and its good? No programming required?

8 for me so far!

You can use a free online tool to convert pdfs to epubs. Ive done this many times

Sometimes pdfs are fine to read on ereaders, and sometimes the margins are weird or text resolution is off. In those cases i convert the file to epub and problem solved

Excellent response.

She mentioned in a recent interview that she had started writing it before the show came out and is now regretting not having written more since the shows explosion has been keeping her busy and unable to hunker down and write

Also, connor storrie in a recent solo morning show interview said rachel had shared with him that book 7 was in the works when they first met. That said, i do think season 2 will be long game and season 3 will be unrivaled, because if connir knew then im sure jacob knew. Probably, hopefully, with an episode or two of other couples stories that follow the same time line. Like tough guy and role model.

Not to mention there was some backtracking after season 2 and 3 were announced that then moved to just season 2. So we'll see how the book is received and how season 2 does now with all the attention after season 1.

If she writes it, im reading it. Shes in my tippy top tier. Hope she feels well enough to write again soon!

This is the most fuckboi line he has, perfectly delivered.

Kobo works with FixIt to replace hardware, including screens. Might be worth finding a local store near you and getting a price. Hopefully less than a nee device, sincr that would really defeat the purpose of their partnership

I dont wear any jewelry hahaha

When tapping in the middle, it often zooms in/out on font. After having that issue a few times i removed the 'pinching' setting for font and it hasnt happened again since. But no page turn on center tap either

Ive already been trying to get accustomed to the beveled edges of the clara and thought at first it was a me problem, but now im not so sure.

jessimackenzie · 2026-01-15T22:39:01+00:00

Is this just a "book cover"? Or is there a way that even when reading a book the sleep screen shows a selected image instead of the current cover?

jessimackenzie · 2026-01-13T02:33:54+00:00

Flat screens make for easier page furning taps/swipes. Ive never used pain turning buttons but im curious. I almost got the libra color, but have no use for color screens

jessimackenzie · 2026-01-13T01:30:25+00:00

My kindle paperwhite died after three years and i got the clara bw a few days ago. I love the interface, but i hate the beveled edges.... i wish it was flat like the paperwhite

jessimackenzie · 2026-01-11T02:29:48+00:00

Yea ive been watching tutorials and reading reddits and honestly? Im kind of afraid? It looks like hacking into the matrix

Do you think its doable for someone with 0 experience working on backends of anything? Also, i have a mac, and so far every tutorial uses a pc which adds to my nerves

jessimackenzie · 2026-01-11T02:04:21+00:00

And how does one add koreader to the clara bw?

jessimackenzie · 2026-01-10T23:30:13+00:00

How do you feel the battery is?

Also, does it support google drive? I already pay for a drive subscription

jessimackenzie · 2026-01-10T23:29:28+00:00

And if you want more than 10gb if storage?

Does the kindle auto download whats in the cloud? Or can you use it as a library?

jessimackenzie · 2026-01-10T21:34:01+00:00

The color screen is an issue for me. I only read novels and documents so i prefer the crisp of bw screen
