@elena@aseachange.com I bought the X4 https://www.passweird.com/, little e-ink reader that you can have basically in your pocket. It's really great compared to the Remarkable2 because I have it always with me, and can read a couple of pages everywhere basically. And it's cheap !

@elena@aseachange.com I have downloaded the free app FB reader and read 30 minutes to an hour befor bedtime. And in the waiting room at the hospital, MD, ... No streak counter needed, no pressure, and anyways half a library with me to choose from.

@elena@aseachange.com I read in KOReader on my Kobo. I tried SimpleUI and ZenUI, but they slow things down too much (which seems to be only a me problem...don't understand it). Trying to get sync with Readest set up so I can hop between Kobo/iPad/iPhone when I want to. Currently in the middle of Ada Palmer's "Inventing The Renaissance" which is a hoot and eye-opening at the same time.

@elena@aseachange.com I jailbroke my Kindle and broke the Kindle. It loads, but is in some kind of weird state. Have to maybe try again and start from scratch...

@elena@aseachange.com Glad to hear you’re back into reading. I’ve gone the other way and increased my reading by going back to paper books, which has been fun.

@elena@aseachange.com I started reading about two years ago. Instead of podcasts or scrolling FB or Twitter or Reddit. Deleted the social media apps and games off my phone and suddenly I have all this time. I was using Calibre but moved to self-hosted grimmory. Both allow OPDS to download new books and sync progress (though grimmory does KOreader sync which is better IMO) For tracking what I read in a fedi fashion, I have a bookwyrm.social account, but I don't use any gamification on my reading at all now.

@elena@aseachange.com Ohh, that is also the case for me. I used to read books during my high school days, but now I have almost stopped. I don’t really know what demotivated me, but I just find myself like that. Why do you think this happens to us? Is it because we have too many things to do?

@elena@aseachange.com how did transitioning from real paper to eink feel for you. I tried it in the past, but always got a disturbing feeling when reading books from a display. Comics are ok, though.

@elena@aseachange.com “Books” App on iPhone works for me. But I also have a paperback copy and Kindle just to be sure I keep reading:)

@elena@aseachange.com Reading to your kid counts and frankly they NEED you to do that these days more than any.

@elena@aseachange.com Varoufakis.. Info for jailbreaking?
-
@aaronmccollum@fosstodon.org 2026-05-07 07:57
@elena@aseachange.com My Kindle is getting old and slow. Does your jailbroke one allow you to download different eBook file types? I was super turned off with Amazon's decision to turn off the ability to download our eBook files and was looking at Kobo.
