    My daughter reads a lot of books checked out via overdrive on her kobo (in Canada), though the search feature on the kobo itself is kind of garbage. We have better luck doing a search with the Libby app on a phone, checking it out, then syncing the kobo.

    I use a Kindle myself (purchased on one of the good sales for roughly half price), though primarily via epub files transferred to the Kindle using Calibre. It’s a busy UI, but it does work well and has lots of features. Pretty good as an archive of your ebook library.



  • Google literally didn’t exist when I first was thrust into vim (well, vi) a large number of years ago ;) Pretty sure I eventually gave up and closed the terminal window - dialed directly into the university’s unix server. Can’t remember which version of unix it was, though.

    It was probably the default editor for tin, the usenet client I was using. At least pine used pico as its editor which was a bit more friendly.




  • I’m finally reading The Martian by Andy Weir, picked it up on a whim when I brought the kids to the library on Saturday and I’m almost finished it now. I’ve actually had it on my Kindle for a while but never got around to starting it. I’m enjoying it, looking forward to reading his other books soon.

    I read mostly on my Kindle, but I prefer (and miss) reading actual books. But most of my reading is done when its dark and not always able to turn on a light.
