Roughly one year after I trashed my Kindle Paperwhite, I concluded that I do need an ebook reader. Two main reasons are traveling and reading in bed at night.

As I no longer want to give my money to Amazon, I found two alternatives:

- Kobo Clara BW from the Japanese company Rakuten.

- Tolino Shine 5 by the German Tolino-Allianz.

Their specs are almost identical, Kobo sells for 150 EUR, Tolino for 100 EUR.

Has anyone experience (good or bad) with any of these?

Ages ago when we were closing down our coworking space, my friend gave me his old Kindle Keyboard. It wasn't charging. I wanted it as a display piece.

It's been on a shelf for all this time with the “Your battery is dead" screen. So I decided to see if I could bring it back to life just so it'd be a living display piece.

The old battery was... oof.
A little poking and opening it back up and boom! new battery works. Hello there Mr. Elison

The image shows two white lithium-ion batteries placed on a blue cutting mat with a grid pattern and measurement markings. The mat features white lines and numbers indicating measurements in millimeters, such as "18x10mm" and "17x12mm." The batteries have black connectors on one end, with the larger (Battery bloat) battery on the left and the smaller one on the right.

The image shows an Amazon Kindle e-reader placed on a granite countertop. The device is white with a black screen displaying a black and white image of Ralph Ellison, a prominent American author. The Kindle's screen also shows the text "Ralph Ellison" and a prompt to "Slide and release the power switch to wake." The device features a physical keyboard with round buttons and side buttons labeled "PREV PAGE," "NEXT PAGE," "HOME," "MENU," and "BACK." A charging cable is connected to the bottom of the device. The background includes various items, such as a magazine with a nature scene and a colorful sticker with a "Colorado" design.

(me, editing the new #RubyOnRails project on #VSCode)

Aaaah, good to be back on a project with a large number of files. I can't remember what's the hotkey for adding bookmarks in VSCode. Let's see. Ctrl+Alt+K.

(Hits Ctrl+Alt+K)

(Nothing happens in VSCode)

What.

(#Kindle for PC starts up)

What what. What the shit. Why. Why does it do that. Why was it designed this way. Why is there a global hotkey for launching Kindle.

#Amazon, what the heck were you thinking?!?!
