It makes me so happy every time I see a thread that starts with the potential to get heated but ends up in normal conversation / being defused.

What I want to say is, the internet is a better place with y'all <3

(Edit: I thought I should contribute something to the subject at hand too so I'll just say, as an Ender owner, I'm quite jeallous of op's first layer.)

I respect that! Anyway, the dish looked delicious ☺️

What type of potato did you use? I find the startchier varieties work best. When oiled meticulously they get crispy everywhere.

Mind you, I find them a hassle too.

Did you finish the display?

Yeah, I figured it would be related to processing power too... I think the book I had in mind had quite a few pictures and if they were high quality then that would explain the power draw... maybe? I'm skeptical it would be so power hungry if it was just text. I should do some actual testing.

Took a while but I think it's an old Romulan bird-of-prey. Any other ideas?

The bussard collector colour seems to vary quite a lot according to Google image search.

I've enjoyed my kobo libra h2o a lot but PDFs can be a bit challenging with its compact screen size.

Big PDFs tend to drain the battery quite fast too but this may not be such an issue with larger models.

I use it with Calibre and my local library has some books available via Overdrive. Calibre can convert books from other formats to epub. PDF is trickier in my experience but other e-reader formats have worked without a hitch.

If your unfamiliar with Calibre you can give it a go before making any decisions and convert a few books with it or something. Not necessarily the prettiest software but it does everything I need it to and does it well.

Sidenote:

I'd be curious to try one of those chinese e-ink android tablets one day.

Edit:

The kobo/rakuten store is quite good too, no complaints.

There's a big borg cube one?! This was from a company called bluebrixx (somebody asked in a previous thread)

Great models yet again!

I spent so much time with STO when it first came out. Sadly feature creep ruined it for me as time went by. I played a couple of hours recently though and enjoyed the nostalgia a lot!

I probably still have my pre-order t-shirt somewhere...
