13:48 🔗 midas OK archiveteam, help me.
13:48 🔗 midas I want to buy a e-book reader
13:48 🔗 midas inform me.
14:03 🔗 SketchCow used retina ipad
14:04 🔗 antomatic +1
14:04 🔗 antomatic Kindles are nice too. But a.n.other tablet will always offer a wider choice of reading apps, and therefore, things to read
14:15 🔗 midas ok, so or upgrade my ipad or a e-reader :p
14:21 🔗 antomatic any ipad should be able to run a reader app
14:22 🔗 antomatic Even the 1st gen ones will download the last-compatible version of the Kindle app, for example
16:02 🔗 schbirid midas: kobo if you want to read in the sun and with long battery life
16:08 🔗 pft ipad was too heavy for me to hold one-handed for a logn period, the cheapest kindle works well for me
16:08 🔗 pft with calibre you can convert things between formats pretty easily which removes some of that burden
16:09 🔗 DFJustin my sister got a kobo arc recently and has been pretty happy with it
16:10 🔗 schbirid everyone about calibre except maybe its converter is super super shit
16:10 🔗 pft i haven't had issues with calibre converting to mobi to consume on the kindle
16:11 🔗 schbirid it forces you into using its own weird library structure
16:11 🔗 schbirid and copies/moves everything iirc
16:12 🔗 pft well it does "force" a library structure i guess which is like author/book on the file system but i'm ok with that
16:12 🔗 pft if that's a showstopper then yeah, it might be problematic
16:12 🔗 schbirid does it still have that root exploit too? :(
16:12 🔗 pft no idea
16:12 🔗 schbirid how the developer treated that was the final straw for me
16:13 🔗 DFJustin with the android-based readers there are apps that handle every possible format anyway
16:13 🔗 pft same with ipad at this point
18:34 🔗 godane i'm uploading more nbc meet the press episodes
18:45 🔗 antomatic godane: do you grab the closed-captions (subtitles) on these videos, where available?
18:45 🔗 antomatic [just curious]
