My last eReader purchase was the Kobo Clara 2E and it’s fantastic. I got one for my dad as well. I love the fact that you can use it completely offline and without any account.

Huge news
Is it possible to get biometrics working on a flathub app?
I just like keeping stuff plugged into one side so that I can rest the edge of the other side against my leg without having to worry about bending devices
I don’t believe any single part of this, it just can’t be true
What are the other two?
9·14 days agoIt doesn’t help our friends in the EU, but I’m hopeful that the CFPB’s “Open Banking” rules might actually make it possible to do this with an open source product with OAuth and common APIs rather than these aggregators that are just web scraping your bank.
I’ve heard others recommend Low End Box before but I have no experience, so do some due diligence before selecting any of these!
I don’t think so, I had to go in and do the song and dance with changing a config file. Reposting this comment here for posterity.
