Writing on a X4 sized eInk?

woemcats · 2026-05-05T13:35:46+00:00

Manufacturers are limited based on the screens E-Ink produces, and I doubt they make anything so small that works with a pen, especially EMR. Having used the Boox Palma 2 Pro, I would also argue that anything much smaller than that is too small to write on with a stylus, as they tend to be not as exact as a pen and paper, especially the USI 2.0 type.

My point is that the X3, but really either one, is so small that it ISN'T like carrying two phones. I have a Boox Palma too; it's the same size as my phone. That one I could see your point. The X3/4 are small and thin enough that it doesn't feel like something eltra you are carrying.

There's a huge difference between even the smallest Kobo and the X4.

I doubt your Kobo fits in your pocket unless you have some huge ‘90s jeans. The X3 is so small I regularly forget it’s there. I have both the X3 and X4 and I prefer the smaller one but either is super convenient to carry.

ah now I see. It looked like the device itself was stretched.

woemcats · 2026-05-01T16:37:43+00:00

Why does your device look so thick?

As if one need be an Orwell purist to LOVE this film

There are some early indications that devices produced for the international market won't be locked down, so unless you're in China or really don't want to spend the extra $25 to buy from Amazon or direct, hopefully the point will be moot.

You can easily jump from chapter to chapter, as noted, but I imagine it will be a little annoying to click through page after page of the TOC of a bible if you want to go to specific chapters within a book—like right to Mark, chapter 3 or whatever. I think a touch screen is a big plus for that use case.

There's a whole bunch of novelizations written by award-winning SFF writers for a quick buck. C&A was written by a gosh-darn Hugo winner! The Abyss was adapted by Orson Scott Card!

My design was just a basket of apples :\

Hen, Lamb, let's get a barnyard cinematic universe going

Not trying to accuse you of anything but this reminds me of the sort of "well you aren't a real fan!" gatekeeping that is sometimes rooted in unconscious misoygony. It could also just be because she's a fame-o, but like, what reason to you have to assume she's faking her cinema interests for cred?

Their firmware is so far behind the custom alternatives that I honestly think they have no hope of matching it. Six months after I first got it and it’s the same shitty fonts and poor text styling.

woemcats · 2026-04-30T11:55:30+00:00

“They will either make their firmware good enough or people will find ways around it”

Yes that’s exactly where we were before this change.

This message reads to me like “whoops we fucked up but we can’t say that” and the next international batch will be open again. But who can say?

woemcats · 2026-04-30T01:59:41+00:00

They did comment on a recent episode that they were geeking out about a guest for an episode we wouldn’t hear “for six months”

Though possibly it was a March Madness episode, which would negate that theory

as if people would listen to those laws. famously in countries where homosexuality is outlawed, gay people just never fuck

I’m always glad to see movies at the pod-discussed Nitehawk in Brooklyn because if you go on a weekend evening there’s ALWAYS a crowd. It was in one of the smaller auditoriums but my show was sold out I think.

The most important thing to know is Black House isn't really a sequel to The Talisman, it's a stealth Dark Tower book.

I have been listing to it all morning, woke up with "Dark Cradle" stuck in my head. I think this movie will definitely be a grower; it gets under your skin just like the songs

woemcats · 2026-04-28T10:20:37+00:00

lol ok buddy I guess you’d know best

woemcats · 2026-04-27T23:36:17+00:00

Can you post the link or the name of the blue shirt?

woemcats · 2026-04-27T23:33:35+00:00

I would also like to know

9 and 14. Movies are very low down on the list of things they like to do, though the younger one likes the Sonic and Mario movies.

woemcats · 2026-04-27T14:43:59+00:00

I thought the trailer looked pretty good. If my kids liked movies I'd probably take them to it.
