Does anyone else miss the weird calm of being bored before smartphones existed?
We have 2 Amazon Kindle Fires and a switch at our house. Our kids (10 and 8) always beg to bring them in the car when we leave the house. For long rides, wife and I are ok with it. But for short rides we say no. The kids beg us every single time when we are walking out the front door. "It's boring w...
Dads, what are the Christmas gifts you are excited to give your kid(s) this year?
A kindle for my 10 year old daughter with an Amazon kids subscription: we live in a country with no real English language libraries and books are expensive. She reads one of those 500 page David Walliams chapter books in about 2 and a half hours... For my 6 year old son, a bunch of Pokemon league Ba...
In today's "Why the fuck would you show it to me if I can't have it!?" the testing units for the Steam Frame have an e-ink panel on the front to display data.
My Kindle's (don't buy one kids, get a Kobo, Amazon is making the experience worse) battery lasts like a month. I can throw it in a bag and forget about it for a week and it'll still be at like 75%.
Made the switch to Kobo after using Kindle for 8 years!
I like the whole UI of Kobo better than Kindle. Favorite features: Swipe up/down on left side while reading to adjust brightness Progress bar and book title at the bottom along with the choice of percentage read, page _ of _, or time remaining in book One touch bookmarking Chapter #/title and option...
Six years in, holy crap I’m burnt out.
Yeah. I’ve been there. What helped was them going to school. lol. What also helped was losing my shit and telling my husband he had to take the kids OUT 3+ hours every weekend. You need time to rest in your safe space. Eventually you’ll start to feel better once you have some time alone. Maybe your ...
Is a kindle reader worth the buy?
I absolutely think it is. I can read a physical book for hours, I love reading. But fifteen minutes into reading on my phone and either my eyes hurt or I’m switching to another app because I got distracted. I was reading on an iPad mini for a while but the eye strain is the same as the phone. An ere...
Is the kindle paperwhite more physically durable than the kobo clara?
I can't comment on the durability of any, as I've never had a problem with Kobo, Kindle, Boox, or PocketBook. But I also baby my electronics, so that nothing happens to them. The big difference for me, is that Kobo sells official OEM replacement parts through iFixit. That gives me piece of mine, tha...
Found a Kindle
There is a good chance of battery being dead. You can get a replacement if you want, buuuut you also have a better option: trade it in to Amazon and get 20% discount on new Kindle. There is currently a sale for Kindle Paperwhite Kids edition. It is technically the same as regular one, but comes with...
How many e-readers do you own?
I have the following. I should also add that they are all second hand from Facebook marketplace with the exception of one. The most I paid was $150 for the 2024 kindle scribe. The least I paid was $5 for the 10th gen Paperwhite. I recently found the 2024 Paperwhite in raspberry at a thrift store for...
Turning a tablet into an ereader
You can generally turn any android tablet into a dedicated e-reader. The easiest way is to "pin" the Kindle or Libby app before handing it to your kids. This makes it so that they can't exit out of the application at all without knowing the specific button combination/gesture to do so. If they get a...
