Got my Kobo Clara Colour today. So far I am hugely impressed. Much slicker than my kindle, lovely screen, good range and plenty of 99p deals. As a huge bonus it will inform you if the book you're about to buy is available to borrow direct from the library before you buy it. Awesome. #booksky

Anyone know if you can link your Kobo eReader to Libby/Overdrive in the UK? I can't find a definitive answer. I essentially want to be able to borrow books from my public library direct to Kobo. You can do this in the US but it's hard to find info about UK compatibility. #Booksky #ereaders #kobo

Well this was an unexpected delight. Not my usual fare but a new favourite now I think. Perfect for a rainy Sunday on a cosy sofa with a warm blanket and cake. #booksky @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Meet the destroyer HMS Glowworm. In April 1940 she was forced to fight the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper, ten times her size, and Hipper's destroyer escorts. Her extraordinary last stand earned her captain the first Victoria Cross of WW2. In part because THE GERMANS nominated him for one /1 🧵

Finished The Cracked Mirror by Chris Brookmyre. Mixed thoughts on this one. Didn't really gel with the story but the characters were strong. I'm not sure the mixed narrative style really worked for me. Still it kept me going to the end and, yes, tears were shed. #BookSky

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

Bravo Machine Games. #IndianaJones and #TheGreatCircle just brilliant fun from start to end. Pulled off what the last 3 movies seemingly couldn't. A proper Indy adventure with total respect for the source material.

Does anyone have any experience of the #Kobo eReaders? Rarely use my #Kindle because I hate the texture of the screen and the constant pushing of Amazon content. #Booksky
