  • My partner and I will be switching from Windows to Linux Mint soon and we are excited! We have been watching some tutorials and looking into tips and common problems before we get started to have the best chance of success.

    To be honest with a distro like Mint it seems a lot easier to move to Linux than I expected. It’s good to see commenters on this thread seem to agree, since the only reason I never considered it in the past was that I had this image of Linux as a really complicated OS that only IT-people could use. Not anymore!


  • The Solaris. Now that I have been using it a couple days longer, I can say the battery life is not the greatest compared to my Kindle, at least when reading mostly from Android apps. But otherwise I have no major complaints. And the battery life hasn’t been a problem per se, just requires charging more often.

    Edit: typos


  • I highly recommend Storytel, especially if you want books in Spanish or Catalan I find they have a really good selection but their selection in English is good too. And their subscription is competitively priced.

    Also I got an Inkbook ereader a couple weeks ago and I’ve been happy with it so far. It came with the Storytel app and I sideloaded my local library app (the Finnish one which is buggy as hell, but at least has a good selection ^^')


  • I ordered their Solaris model and I should get it by the end of next week. I have a Storytel subscription and Finland, where I live, has a library app where you can loan ebooks as well, so I am very excited about being able to access them from my ereader.

    It’s good to hear you’ve been liking yours as it was very hard to find reviews, but I really wanted to support an EU company and ended up going for it anyway!
