I just replaced a Kindle Paperwhite that was probably 7/8 years old with a Kobo Libra 2. Can’t compare it to a modern Kindle, but the Kobo screen is bigger and looks more like paper.

My only gripe is that the software has some odd design choices. On a Kindle, the night mode button is on the main drop down menu, but in Kobo you have to hit the gear button to get to the settings, then scroll down a page to toggle night mode.

Both devices seem to read most formats out there. Look up a program called Calibre to maintain a local library on your PC and convert formats easily.

The main selling point for the Kobo was not sending more money to Jeff Bezos. I cancelled Prime last year and the Kindle was my last link to the Amazon ecosystem. I usually get my books from the library or other online sources but sometimes I’d be out of town craving a certain book and I’d buy it on the Kindle just for ease of use.

Maybe I’m just getting old but the gameplay loop of Rockstar games has gotten tired. RDR2 was gorgeous but the mission formula was just so boring.

If I’m using the computer I’m in a program. If I’m not using it, it’s asleep. Don’t really get the point of anything other than solid black.

I have a 2 year old who is obsessed with them. She loved the picture. We have to take a picture with one every time we go to the store.

My dad is a civil engineer though, so we’re not a good test case.

When I bought my first fancy knife from a local kitchen supply store, they taped a folded post-it note to the box and showed me how to make one. Fold a piece of paper diagonally, one corner to the opposite corner, to make a 45 degree angle. Then fold it in half again by folding one long side of the triangle to the opposite long side. You’ll now have a 22.5° angle to use as a visual guide to get you close enough.

I think it’s technically supposed to be an acknowledgement that the message was received.
