Just a quick note from your friendly neighborhood bookworm/indie author

if you use kindle for the majority of your library, they will be shutting down the function that allows you to download your files and transfer them via USB on the 26th of February. Which doesn't sound like a huge deal, but this also means that if a book is taken off Amazon for any reason—like it being banned—they can scrape it off your kindle as well. So maybe backup your library?

Edit: as an indie author I feel like I should make a small note that this is not an excuse to say “fuck Amazon I’ll just pirate my books”. Please don’t do that. No one’s reaction so far has been that but I’m begging you not to react that way. That doesn’t hurt Amazon it hurts authors.

Some alternatives are

- check and see if the author sells their books on other marketplaces. Hint: any not enlisted on Ku are probably wide

- check your library. If they’re not at your library request them.

- if all else fails, reach out to the author. I have 100% hunted down a way for my book to be available to a reader that couldn’t access it for whatever reason. And I’d do it again.

Just for the love of 🧀 don’t pirate them.

I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…

Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

5 Reasons Magnetic Thin Ribbons Are a Must-Have for Military Personnel

Maintaining a professional appearance is a top priority for military personnel, but traditional ribbon racks can often make this task more complicated than it needs to be. Magnetic thin ribbons are changing the game, offering a modern solution for uniforms that combines efficiency, durability, and style. Here are five reasons why they’re a must-have for active service members:

1. Challenges of Traditional Ribbon Racks

Traditional ribbon racks come with their fair share of frustrations. They can be time-consuming to assemble, prone to slipping or misalignment, and often require frequent adjustments to maintain a polished appearance. For active military personnel with demanding schedules, these hassles can add unnecessary stress, especially before inspections or ceremonial events.

2. Save Time and Effort with Magnetic Ribbons

Magnetic thin ribbons streamline the process of updating and maintaining your uniform. With a secure magnetic hold, they eliminate the need for pins or clips, allowing for quick and easy assembly. Whether you’re adding new awards or reorganizing existing ribbons, this system saves precious time without compromising on appearance.

Unlike regular thin ribbons, which require you to send your entire ribbon rack back to the company for updates, Pin-iT's magnetic thin ribbons provide unparalleled convenience. Each military ribbon award is its own magnet that affixes to a magnetic ribbon bar. When you need to update your ribbon rack, simply use Pin-iT's Ribbon Rack Builder webpage to order only the ribbons and attachments you need. Pin-iT will ship the updated ribbon directly to you. All you need to do is snap the ribbon into place on your rack—no disassembly or shipping back and forth required.

3. Benefits of Magnetic Thin Ribbons

Durability:

Built to withstand the rigors of active duty, magnetic ribbons are made from high-quality materials that resist wear and tear. They stay securely in place even during demanding activities.

Polished Appearance

Magnetic ribbons offer a sleek, professional look that enhances the overall presentation of your uniform. Say goodbye to bulky, uneven racks and hello to a clean, sharp appearance.

Ease of Customization

With traditional slide-on ribbons, frequent wear and tear cause them to slide around, and updating them means disassembling the entire ribbon bar just to replace one ribbon. Additionally, regular thin ribbons, while sleek, are a one-piece setup that you cannot update yourself, requiring you to send the entire rack back for changes. In contrast, Pin-iT's magnetic thin ribbons are just as thin as regular thin ribbon racks but allow for easy, at-home updates. You can keep your rack ready to go at all times, eliminating the need for shipping delays or disassembly.

4. Real-Life Testimonials and Use Cases

Many service members have already made the switch to magnetic thin ribbons and can’t imagine going back. Sgt. Alex H., an active-duty Marine, shares: “Using magnetic ribbons has been a game-changer. I used to spend over an hour perfecting my rack before inspections, but now it takes minutes. Plus, they look incredible!”

Another testimonial from Lt. Sarah R. in the Army highlights their practicality: “The magnets hold so securely, even during ceremonies and field exercises. I’ve never had to worry about them slipping or falling off.”

It’s time to leave the frustrations of traditional ribbon racks behind. Magnetic thin ribbons offer the perfect combination of convenience, durability, and professionalism. Simplify your uniform maintenance and elevate your presentation with Pin-iT’s innovative solution.
