Back then before the torrent sites all got blocked, you could go on and search and download books in .pdf version which the Kobo could read. That's why I got it instead of the Kindle which had a special format you could only read on a Kindle.
Anyway, took it to the USA in 2015 and 2016. Very handy on the 15 hour flight to LA, kick back, have a few drinks and read a book.
Several years ago I threw it in a drawer and forgot about it but pulled it out a few days ago, charged it up and the fkn thing still works fine.
I thought the battery would have shit itself or something but nope, charged up quickly, held a charge while sitting on the desk for a few days, connected it to Wifi and it updated the software and it still fkn works. You bewdy, she's coming to Darwin with me next month.
get your self some apple tags, or similar if you really dont want apple.
in all the trips we have taken, the only thing to put us out was a storm that delayed our flight out of yellowstone by 1/2 an hour, we missed the connection to vegas, but got a flight 2.5 hours later.
this time, **** me! lynx air changed our flight from 8am to damn 6 am, so 4am at the airport, yuk. then when we flew back from Calgary to Vancouver, our luggage got jammed along with 5 other poeples, 3 of us had air tags and knew exactly where our luggage was, but trying to get the **** to go find it, ugh! we had to wait, we were boarding the ship next morning. an hour later, good to go. get on the ship at 11, hubbies suitacase in the cabin at 12.30, mine? ship is leaving at 4 and it shows its still on the dock! im in shorts, tshirt and 2 day old knickers! for alaska!!! went to service department 7 times, at 9pm im in tears, walk to the room and finally, it was somehow stowed in the crew section the floor below us.
