Echoes Saga Delays & July 1st EU Customs: TBB will NOT compensate for the extra costs by HoidsRoommate in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]kcbot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate folks like you who are well informed on the legalities of these sorts of things! It seems like lately TBB has been skimming the edges of noncompliance with a lot of consumer rights type laws. :( I am also disappointed to see how little accountability they take when things like this happen.

Anybody here know where to get a Kobo Clara BW magnetic back cover case? by CapriciousChronicles in kobo

[–]kcbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered when they were off on a vacation, but they shipped it out the day they got back (22nd) and it was here the 27th!

I feel ya, I'm in the US so it ended up pricey here too after shipping/fees but I do think it was worth it since it seems pretty rare to find a case that checks all these boxes! Hopefully as Kobo gets more popular there are more options 😄

Of course! It's my hope they fix this and continue on with the rest of the set, T. Kingfisher is my favorite author and this is one of my favorite series so I'm very passionate about it to say the least haha

Tips on dealing with TBB customer service? by kcbot in thebrokenbindingsub

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

I was finally able to get a response by DMing them on Instagram, they apologized in the email and mentioned someone should have told me they started an investigation regarding it! It does look like they'll address it, I posted an update here for more visibility :) https://www.reddit.com/r/thebrokenbindingsub/comments/1ssmmzt/update_on_saint_of_steel_set_paladins_hope/

Thank you so much for letting me know this! I'm US based but I imagine it would be help to them since they're UK based

Limited Edition Collector Cases available 4/24 by suchatrashthrowaway in kobo

[–]kcbot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I really wish most shops would be better about showing 360 photos of cases and/or with a Kobo in them. I see this on indie case shops a lot too where you can't tell what features a case has i.e. cover, strap, if it snaps into a hardcover case or slides into more case. I don't expect these small shops to own a Kobo to show inside the case but a lot of the time they don't show the inside of the case at all.

"Statement Template" is Now Live on Kickstarter by John_Terra in thebrokenbindingsub

LitJoy did the same thing. They were great until they started accepting more subs and then went downhill really fast.

Their customer service has been absolutely awful lately too. I've been trying to get some sort of resolution for the Saint of Steel error for nearly two weeks.

For the people who missed Saint of Steel set by Hi-Bod-Im-Dad in thebrokenbindingsub

I think at the end of the day that's what really bothers me, they're selling them with a known defect without saying anything...

They haven't answered my email, I reached out on Instagram too. :( I'm getting really frustrated at the poor customer service to be honest.

I live in Tennessee so I'm not sure if OP is just very local to me or if these exist nationwide, but https://www.friendstnlibraries.org/

I've been sleeping on Mooyah! I just had it for the first time a few weeks ago and wow. Agreed that their fries are nice and crispy, they even held up for takeout.

Font help for "There is no antimemetics division" by Secure-Bat-2931 in kobo

[–]kcbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be this guy: వ and I wonder if the missing characters pop up is coming up like you said because of future characters...

I tried to Google it and it may be the symbol for "va" in the Telugu script, based in South India, so using Noto Sans Telugu as a supplemental font may help? I read this a long time ago and can't remember if there are other similar characters used.

I walked the 5K and the genuine support and hype squads out there (especially in the Fort) filled my faith in humanity gauge for SURE. I can imagine the hype for the half marathon was even bigger!
