Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Yeah, I was earlier sold on the Kobo ones as they seemed to be recommended a few times here, but it seems the battery life may be better on the Kindle paperwhite, and the Kindle also seems more responsive...

Now thinking about the Kindle again haha

Yeah - saw that Auckland Libraries Ebooks don't work with the Kindle - I wonder how often I would use that feature (haven't been to the library in decades!, but I guess borrowing a book online is a lot easier :) )

We still get physical books via the library, which works fine. I found online renting very annoying as ebooks can be rented out. Sailing the sea is much more convenient...

Even if you do choose only read them within the borrow period it is way easier to convert them for your device first.
