Kindle paperwhite - it's backlit, but still "reads" like a kindle, not shiny like a tablet.
Just in case you ever want a separate device for reading...

Actually, all the new ones are lit. Paperwhite's what I have...
That's what I got her.

And I worked out how to convert library ebooks. So all good. Just hope mum is OK with the process.

I'm OK with that, but mum is at a point where any little bit of independence she can manage is important to her
Sometimes there is a fine line between independence and complete frustration. I find myself letting my son do a lot more for me than I used to.

@Doffy , check out the free Calibre ebook manager/converter. (calibre - E-book management) It will convert many ebook formats to .mobi and send it to a Kindle via the usb cable. No jailbraking or modding needed. Just an FYI.

I also like the Kindle Unlimited ebooks for $10/month like @TamiPac , but it probably depends upon the kind of books you like. Depending upon the genre, there are constantly new books being added. Way more than I can keep up with, so for me it's totally worth it. It's like a netflix for ebooks. I'd definitely suggest a free trial if it's available down under.

have calibre ready

she has managed to log in to her kindle now, after 4 days

she's going to the library tomorrow, to reset her password for these things, since she hasn't used the website before

amazon site confuses her a bit. Searching free books is good, but then amazon have a "recommended together" list that is not free, and she gets confuzzled

she'll get there. She is just on bush time, grew up in a town not unlike mick dundee, but further south so no crocs

This one offers free books daily via email. There’s a couple others that offer low price (occasionally free) books as well if you’re interested.

Hey Dibi peeps, hope everyone is well.

Not sure how to say this so I’ll just say it, I’ve lost the joy of vaping :|

I still vape, and have actually raised my nic level up to 24 mg/ml. I still think I am much easier to be around, and much healthier, due to vaping and I really appreciate all the fine folks I have met through vaping. What has changed is the hobby aspect, I always enjoyed and looked forward to a new mod/atty/juice or just cleaning contacts, making coils or mixing juice. Now, not so much. I just ordered a bottle of juice because it sounded good, but mostly because I just don’t feel like getting out the DIY supplies and mixing anything. I’ve got a new atty coming but instead of stalking the mailman I’m just not really that excited about it. It’ll probably sit for awhile before I even get around to building it.

That’s all, thanks for letting me unload.

Miss you all.

:)

In reality I've pretty much slipped into a rut. I don't have time to design and build mods much anymore and have pretty much stopped trying to find a better vape than my MM wire. (Although I am going to explore this new Evolve replay feature with different coil materials) I do still DIY because I found what I like and have a lifetime supply of nic. Best wishes wherever life leads you.
