help-circle







  • Me. I worked at RadioShack right out of high school. It shows that even as a dumb teenager, I already knew what I was talking about enough to help people with their electronics bullshit, and it shows a long history of it. Now, it’s a bullshit retail job, and as such doesn’t show up on my resume all the time, but it’s still relevant to those who know what that store was all about, even to its bitter end.







  • The major benefit is using KOReader instead of Amazon’s reader. Main benefit of that is configurability in my opinion. I’m new to full-time use, so I’m not aware of everything it’s capable of, but it’s already way better. My headline features are direct connection to Calibre over the network, and the lack of any marketing to me whatsoever. My nice-to-haves are arbitrary lockscreen images, Wallabag support (have yet to explore this, but looks real fun), and the built-in RSS reader.

    Other than that, jailbreaking gives me the ability to fully disable ads and OTA updates.

    Everything else is pretty much toys and eye candy. KOReader is the main thing from what I can tell.
