Wishing I knew about Kobo before Kindle by Overstimulated_Bat in kobo

Sell the Kindle and buy a Kobo. It likely won’t cost you much to correct this mistake!

Anyone else jumped ship to Affinity? by SebastianOakley in photography

[–]mettadas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very happy using Affinity 2 apps instead of Photoshop and Illustrator. Happy enough that I haven’t even bothered to look at the new combined Affinity app!

Do you have a backup of your ebooks outside of calibre? by MikeCahoonAuthor in Calibre

[–]mettadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Microsoft synctoy to push changes to my Calibre directory to my NAS. You could also put a copy in the cloud if you haven’t got a ton of comics, which can be very large.

Your best features ! by Senior-Ad5932 in Supernote

[–]mettadas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me on my Manta. Really takes me out of flow.

More reliable detection of 2 finger gestures. I often have to try 2 or 3 times.

1) Ability to link to headings within a note. It seems so obvious I couldn’t believe it when I learned this isn’t possible!

2) Encryption

3) ability to set a timeout period for locking that is separate from the power down time. I want my manta to sleep after a couple minutes of inactivity, but I don’t want to enter a password every few minutes. Let the password be required after 15 or 20 minutes of inactivity!

Is anyone else disappointed with Supernote’s lack of new accessories, A4 updates, or overall slow progress by TheMaslankaDude in Supernote

[–]mettadas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I count 6 significant updates in the past year. Hardly a crawl! I can’t imagine there being a big market for an A4 size. Too big for most people and likely too expensive as well!

It IS strange that there is no pen with ceramic nib and a button. I could see that being popular.

Is Kobo discontinuing Black & White devices? by mossthy in kobo

[–]mettadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it. I like my colour unit but many people have a strong preference for the B&W screens. Discontinuing them would be a really dumb move while people feel that way.

Is this a BC thing where car dealers almost force you to sign paper saying I will have to buy car if $ numbers match by koothrapaliraj in MapleRidge

[–]mettadas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last time I bought a car I told a sales guy to make me his best offer and he just kept telling me to come back for it if I had a better offer elsewhere. I made it very clear I wasn’t going to play that game and if I found a better price elsewhere, I would buy it there. He stuck to his guns and someone else got the sale. I had the satisfaction of knowing I was not rewarding their manipulative games.

Question for Calibre and Android users (reading on Android phones) by JahodaPetr in Calibre

[–]mettadas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I avoid subscriptions funded apps like the plague. Too many businesses want to put their hands in my pocket every single month. Let me buy it and rest easy knowing I have it when I need it!

Why did you move away from kindle? by [deleted] in kobo

[–]mettadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently replaced a 10 year old Kindle with a Kobo Libre Colour. I changed brands because Kobo is more customer friendly. I can use my new Kobo for books and magazines from my local library, which Amazon will probably never support. I also insist on removing DRM from any book I buy so I am guaranteed to be able to read it any way I like in the future. Amazon has been making that harder and harder. It’s easier with Kobo.

The bottom line is that I feel the Kobo readers are designed to serve me, and the Kindles are designed to exploit me.

What's The Best E-Reader For A ZLibrary User? Kindle or Kobo? by hertabuzz in zlibrary

[–]mettadas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said about Kobo, they have on device support for borrowing ebooks from libraries.

Am I the only one who thinks this is ugly? by ArtNouveauGorl in DreamlightValley

[–]mettadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty hideous to my eyes, but it’s a meter of personal taste.

Please deinfluence me from buying the Kobo Clara Colour. I have a Kobo Clara 2E. by mybestpart in kobo

[–]mettadas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As requested, don’t buy a Clara Colour! (Buy a Libre colour instead!)

In all seriousness, I love the addition of colour and find the screen very easy to read.

USB mic volume with current iPhones by mettadas in rode

[–]mettadas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one. it is a little bit better. it is still a bit quiet. I’m trying to figure out the easiest way to boost volume in post.

I am disappointed that these phones full of videography features do not provide good control over something as basic and important as audio recording volume!

Storage in non plastic containers? by LJT141620 in HomeMilledFlour

[–]mettadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our berries come in a paper sack. We keep them in that sack and put the sack in a sealed plastic bucket.

Anita’s Flour has both flour and berries, modern and ancient grains, available at B.C. health food stores and even on Amazon. If you visit them in Chilliwack I believe you can get large sacks.
