Entire #ebook collection (17 books) of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time is just $18 from #HumbleBundle. Regular price $173. I’m the world’s slowest reader and it took me months to get even halfway through the first book so for ME this would essentially be a lifetime of reading.

For the rest of y’all it’s still good value if you like this sort of stuff. humblebundle.com/books/robert- #ebooks #deal #books #fantasy #fiction #kindle #kobo #nook

I read The Dinner by Herman Koch. 2.75 ⭐

A #contemporary #dark #mystery that takes place over the course of a single dinner.

I hated every character. The narrator kept bringing up details he "won't mention," and I found that to be pretty annoying.

So, my 15 year old kindle is getting increasingly glitchy the longer I refuse to connect it to the Internet, and I'm looking for a new ebook reader before it dies completely. Recommendations requested!

Needs:
- epaper with backlight for night reading (this is the only way I can read with a headache)
- load on epub files via usb
- can handle ao3 fanfics (the images in these are part of what's glitching out my old kindle)
- preferably fits in my skirt pocket (so, 7inch or so)
- does not *require* internet connection ever. Not even to set the clock. (Again, kindle glitch has made it so I can't tell what books are newly added because the time is glitchy and apparently the Internet is the only known fix.)
- works with Calibre for transferring books
- it would be nice if it worked with Libby for my library too, but I kind of expect libby to enshittify so I'm not going to worry too much about it.

I suspect the logical replacement is a kobo, but I'm worried corporate enshittification will leave me in the same state I'm in now. I'd definitely prefer a free software option so I won't have to worry as much about some corporate changes making my books annoying, but I'm not a purist so this is more about having a device that works before this one dies on me.
