In case anyone is curious, about switching from kindle to kobo, I have had basically no real issues so far and have found the switch to be very worth it and I find the kobo to be a much friendlier (better UI and not constantly making me look at the store) and overall just a better device to use.

converting my kindle ebooks has not difficult at all (if you want a step by step explanation of how to do that this is the video I used) and the only books I've issues with her comics and that was just because I forgot they were a different format than text books and converted them to the wrong thing.

I like some of the short cuts on the kobo a lot and the only thing I really miss is having some sort of page number (which is very not even accurate on kindle, but I did like seeing "oh I'm on page 243 of a 500 page book") but there are other features that the kobo has that the kindle doesn't that I think make up for it. Like giving you a physical progress bar and being able to tell you how many "pages" (by which the kobo means how many time you will turn to the next screen) you have in the chapter you're on or in the book total, which will adjust for font size and whatnot

overall, glad I'm switched and I'm excited to keep using it and the writing feature more.

Currently devouring Emily Henry books (and delicious sandwiches paired with iced lattes). Almost halfway through my second read this week and it’s only Wednesday.

Realizing you can transfer the fics you download off of ao3 onto your kindle has been a game changer ngl. I can still read my fics before bed without hurting my eyes

I have a Kindle 1 I've been meaning to start using again and I ran across this

So I decided to give it a shot with some BLAME! cbzs I had picked up and it worked without any issues as far as I can tell. Converted 1 gigabyte files down to ~30-40 megabytes and the kindle can display them just fine.

Recently, I’ve spent some time consolidating my ebooks in Calibre (freeware ebook library management software). One of the things I had to import and organize was my archive of downloaded fanfiction (saved fics can be imported into Calibre as files or one can use plugin FanFicFare for it)

I wanted those files to have some nice looking book covers, so I’ve created a special AO3-edition of my book covers template. Those are to be used with “Generate Cover” plugin, that allows more control over the generated book cover, with an option to create your own design.

Download for free here + get instructions on installation and usage:

I hope someone might get some usage of it too...

Anyone have good eReader recommendations? I want something very small that I can read library books on.
