        I like my Kobo for a couple reasons

        • All the reasons you might want to boycott Amazon
        • Built in Overdrive support so you can borrow ebooks from your local library
        • Instapaper built in

        It used to have Pocket support until that service shut down. Kobo was good about quickly replacing that with the equivalent service from Instapaper. It lets you save web pages and it doesn’t just save the link. It strips the ads and junk and saves a copy of the content. It’s also useful for bypassing soft pay walls.

        I don’t know what you’re talking about with music on an ereader. I can’t speak to music or audiobook support since I haven’t tried it. I think the basic model I have supports audiobooks but not music.

          Regarding music, I have been wanting to get a cheap and large (yes I know) tablet for sheet music. There are so many free pdfs out there that buying music is for chumps with ethics.

            You’d probably want to build a housing for the remote to make it more like a guitar foot switch, but I agree it would be a great setup for sheet music.

            I have large format ereader and I never thought to use it like that

              So there’s a musical group I was in twenty years ago ish, and they do some fun stuff. Without going into too much detail we kind of constantly pushed the boundaries of the art form when I was with them. They did the sheet music on the large format ereader last I saw them but I don’t know if they still do, there are understandable complaints with the technology. Personally I just want something to hold all my practice shit.

    I cut my finger when I was reading last night and didn’t notice it, so now I have a couple pages of Red Rising spattered in blood. Kinda fitting, ngl

        It’s a good series. It starts out feeling a little bit derivative, but comes into its own in books 2 onward.

        I’m waiting for book 5 to fully release in Graphic Audio before I dive into it again.

    Poor book. Nothing short of the crappiest, soulless literature out there deserves to be desicrated with wing sauce like that

    I was reading Dune in the bath and the book fell in. I thought it was hilarious as I just got done the part where they were desperate for water. I provided enough water for the entire story. 😭

        When I was like 15-16 I was riding in my buddy’s car and he asked our other friend to pump gas. When he got back in he kept complaining about smelling gasoline, and kept saying dude had gotten it on his hands. He was being a real dick about it, so when he wasn’t looking dude reached down and fondled his nuts and when he kept on dude was like “dude, smell my hand! It’s fine!” And he did. And the entire group of us lost our shit it was so funny. Except for the driver, who was pissed. But, like 2 weeks before that the driver had walked up behind the same guy while he was sitting and just flopped his super long dick on his shoulder through his fly, so, like, he set the tone of the friendship with that shit.

        I have had so many people look at me like I’m a wizard (which is fair, I’ve got the crazy eyebrow) for hanging my phone off the back of the seat in front of me in a hook and loop bag when I fly. I should probably start taking the plane.

    Sucks to be gross or unlike that ? I guess we all are wrong and the world is too polite to not be like that… or not and otherwise we are all better… I guess the point is nothing counts and there’s nothing better than the internet…

    Sucks to be so gross that nothing matters when the world is so bad… I guess nothing matters…
