Yeah, I was earlier sold on the Kobo ones as they seemed to be recommended a few times here, but it seems the battery life may be better on the Kindle paperwhite, and the Kindle also seems more responsive...
Now thinking about the Kindle again haha
Yeah - saw that Auckland Libraries Ebooks don't work with the Kindle - I wonder how often I would use that feature (haven't been to the library in decades!, but I guess borrowing a book online is a lot easier :) )
Thats actually a really interesting proposition with the Android syncing etc. Will need to do some research / keep that in mind for when I really find a need for it.
Yeah leaning towards a Kobo if we end up getting one. Though my partner wants to read some Korean Titles, and it seems like there's no real solution at the moment to remove the DRM for the ebooks you get from the korean ebook stores.
Another user just recommended a Kobo, and so was looking at the Clara 2e. Good to see some positive feedback on it. Generally, hows the Battery Life and User Experience (Laggy/responsive etc)? - Have literally no idea what to expect haha.
I suddenly got to thinking about getting a Kindle.
Any feedback from people that have / had one? How did you like it? What's the pricing generally like for e-books? Did it actually get you to read more? (I find a big barrier for me is actually finding the time to go to a book store and looking around and buying one physically). Was it not as good as reading a physical book?
Keen to hear some thoughts from people in the know :)
Hmm, shoulve kept a few extra boxes from when we moved haha. Shipping costs don't seem to be too bad, as long as the dimensions dont go past the threshold into the "bulkier" goods category
Seems like they've reinstated supply to the Warehouse, stating they've cut export volumes to do so.... have some doubts around that being the entire truth
Been looking to offload a few (mainly photography geared) bags, and was wondering how shipping would work for the bulkier backpack types. Better to just look at selling local for pickup etc for those maybe?
Yeah when I think about it, as a consumer I put a lot of faith in the operator to be doing the right things. Something you don't really think about until something like that happens.
What's the "best" way to upload a photo for use in Lemmy?
