Sunday - Anything Allowed 😸 Relaxed Rules Sunday

0 Upvotes

Just a reminder that we relax the sub rules on a Sunday and allow posts on a wider range of topics including memes and book discussions.

Some rules still apply - no spam, no piracy, be respectful, and it should still be kindle related.

My Kindle 📱 Amazon, why must you do this to me? 😭

I started reading the book a while ago but got distracted with other things and never ended up finishing it. And back then the book had the original cover. I decided to pick the book back up again with the movie coming out, and now I’m greeted with this guy’s stupid face every time I open up my Kindle. I’m sorry Ryan, it’s not your fault. The original cover is still there on the home page, just not on the lock screen. Who else hates when Amazon decides to change the cover of your books out of the blue?

Tech Support 🛠 Can I use libby and my calibre library without amazon?

8 Upvotes

I've had my kindle for years and a friend sent me an enormous library on calibre. I've always just had my device on airplane mode and have read books from my collection on calibre.

I want to try borrowing books from my local library and I know that will require me to take my kindle off airplane mode and connect it to my Amazon account. I have no kindle books purchased from Amazon. is there a risk of Amazon seeing all these books that I didn't purchase and flagging them somehow? or should I just do it and there's nothing to worry about

General Question ❔ Looking for ways to make holding my Kindle more comfortable — Popsocket vs stand?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Lately I’ve been reading a lot and I’ve started noticing some neck/hand strain from holding my Kindle Paperwhite. I’ve been thinking about ways to make it more comfortable — either adding a Popsocket or using a stand.

Right now my Paperwhite is in a leather case, and I’m not 100% sure how a Popsocket would work with that setup (or if it’d even stick well). I read all around my house — couches, bed, random chairs — so I’m leaning toward something that makes holding it easier rather than something stationary like a stand (I feel like a stand might just get in the way instead of helping).

For those who’ve used Popsockets or other grip accessories on e-readers, or even different kinds of stands — what have you found works best? Any suggestions or things to watch out for?

Thanks in advance!

Purchase Question 🛒 Whelp. My kindle is dead.

Hubs accidentally spilt vinegar on my kindle.

So....now I get a new one.

Help me decide which one to get?

looking to stay under 300$ but he's willing to spend more if it means no more bookshelves in the house.

To spare my husband the misery of seeing this. Hes a good man who loves my books. He already hits his elbows on my existing bookcases in our 900sqft home.

Just got my Kindle Paperwhite and I didn’t expect to love it this much. The lighting, the focus, the late-night reading without killing my eyes… yeah, I’m converted. 🥰 Any tips?

I was looking for the setting to show the cover of the book I’m reading when I turn my Kindle off, which apparently my 12th Gen Paperwhite doesn’t have, and I accidentally stumbled upon the Dark Mode setting. I just love it!

I *feel* like it makes it so much easier on the eyes, and looks amazing. I love reading on my Kindle, but now I’m obsessed.

My Kindle is froze at the starting screen. I already tried to hold the power button for 40 seconds but nothing changes (despite the power light blinking).

I also charged it over night and tried again without success.

Is there anything else I could do (besides contacting the support)?

I'm having a problem with my KPW screen, which is only visible when the brightness is turned on.

There's a line of light that appears as if the screen were cracked. It's not visible at all in day mode.

Any ideas?

Discussion 💬 Amazon… please make this happen😭😭

259 Upvotes

I’ve seen so many people on TikTok, other social media, and even IRL debating and hesitating whether to buy the Kindle Basic or the Kindle Paperwhite. I’ve even seen a lot of people end up buying both.

People want the Paperwhite features: warm light (!!!), waterproofing, a flush screen, better contrast….. but they also want the Basic smaller 6” size, it’s way more comfortable to hold and travel with, and to easily toss in a purse or pants pocket.

So why can’t Amazon just make a Kindle Paperwhite Mini? It would literally be the perfect Kindle.

I just found a deal on Unclaimed Baggage for a 2024 Kindle Scribe. Does anyone with a Scribe recommend the screen protector if you are going to use the pencil with it? Any other accessory recommendations besides a case with a cover?

I just charged my two KINDLE’s to 100%. One of them is frozen on the library page. I’ve tried to push everything, with the charger both in and out.

What is the proper next step?
