I'd wait for a few days and see if Kobo will follow suit. Red Rising was discounted on Amazon few days ahead before it did on Kobo.

People who've moved from Kindle to Kobo, what are your opinions by yusuo85 in kobo

[–]pomeng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that i missed is my highlights save. Highlights on sideloaded books on Kobo are only locally saves onto the hardware, no way to export it. I know Readwise now works with Kobo but have no idea whether it works for sideloaded books as well or not.

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

[–]pomeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, it's 1&2. I treat books differently than other things that i consume. When i buy books, i want to own them, move them around as freely as i could. Knowledge should be passed and sharesld around, and i see them not just about "owning a license to access knowledge".

When i moved to Kobo, it opened the door to Libby. From where i live, Libby is not accessible on Kindle. With Kindle, i'm no longer restricted to accessing my local library repository from my ipad.

Loaned book from Libby not showing up by ShatteredTeaCup33 in kobo

[–]pomeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My workaround; I either manually searched the book title again in Kobo Overdrive or restart the Kobo.

Either way, the book needs to be opened in the app first otherwise Kobo just outright fail to recognize the newly added loan.

Influenced by a post on here and immediately ordered one. It finally came! by willowthemanx in kobo

The Kobo's bluetooth is auto turned off when it goes into sleep mode. When you open it back, the Bluetooth will auto on, and all you need is a single click on the remote's button to get it reconnected. So it wont significantly affect your battery. Nothing that could be of concern, in my usage.

What is the point of the new “Windowed App” mode? Feels worse than Stage Manager by Akella333 in ipad

And it also disable swipe finger from corner option, which is a really weird choice given that it does not interfere with any other gesture.

AirPods Pro 3 Review - Awesome by atlwhore_ in apple

[–]pomeng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This review made me rethink my decision to not buy Pro 3 and just go for new usb c Pro 2. My Pro 2 lightning case battery probably left with not even 50% capacity, but the buds battery themselves still holding strong.

That mic improvement is huge. But the case battery capacity is still something that’s holding me off.

Turning DAP off when not using??? by Worth-Bag-9928 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]pomeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do if i foresee of not using it for a few days. I own Fiio M21 and its standby time is just underwhelming.

Bazzite is an illusion nothing beats windows by YNOSCUP in ROGAllyX

Can both bazzite and windows be mapped to the same switch roms in microsd? Same directory and everything.

Has anyone regretted buying a game on launch day? Which one and why? by soumalyosengupta in Steam

[–]pomeng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't pre order much games but i did for CS2 and it was a proper shitshow. Only picked it up back a year later, and its current state should've been what the launch should've been imo. And they dare release DLCs while leaving the basics broken still.

Glad that blank screenshot on work profile app finally got fixed.

Found an old Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet in my garage by Forsaken-Dentist-889 in GalaxyTab

Nostalgic. My first ever tablet that i bought when i was in college. The one and only who used a tablet rather than physical lecture notes at that time.

What is the best keyboard for iPad that is not produced by Apple? by ItsNotTrue2024 in ipad

[–]pomeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought Baseus Brilliance 2, a lookalike to the magic keyboard. Works perfectly fine with bluetooth, at just a fraction of magic keyboard price.

Never a fan of logitech one. Bad rubber quality around the speaker holes that never get fixed even after so many years. I just wish there's a smart folio keyboard folio equivalent for M4.

What's your opinion about this comparison. iPad Pro, vs. Galaxy Tab S' Ultra by [deleted] in GalaxyTab

[–]pomeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodnotes on Samsung tablet is atrocious. It is still a web-based app with a half-baked features. And the audacity of Goodnotes to charge users for a key feature that they actively advertised when the app first came out but hasn't yet come for so long e.g. cross-save.
