I was trying to figure out a way to add/browse Readeck articles from my Kobo without displacing my existing Instapaper account, and I found a method!

I created a custom e-ink friendly OPDS browser-website:

Slowly making some progress with the Jim Butcher "Storm Front" book. I've had a little less time to read the last few days, due to dad's hospital incident, taking care of little Sir Barks-A-Lot™, and being distracted at times...

Bas is eager for many walkies, but in between, he will cuddle up with me for some relaxing time on the couch, sometimes with my Kobo.

According to the Kobo stats, I have about 1.7 hours to go before I'll finish the book. Currently starting chapter 20, page 319 of 431... I've read the book before. Even used to have the paper version, until I lent it to someone who ended the friendship and never bothered to get the book back to me... 😔 But it's been a while since I read it, so I don't recall all the details.

I hope that my brain will be a little calmer and/or more relaxed soon, as I want to try out the Seanan McGuire book that's in the top list of the Kobo. But I struggle with new books when I can't focus properly on it. That's so why I've been reading books I've read before. 😊 Although, I had to reset my Kobo early last year to connect it to the Bol store, as a friend gifted me a book there, so all my stats are back to "fresh" since then.

According to the stats, since the reset, I've read 193.3 hours, and I've been able to finish 13 books. 10 of them, I've read since I started the re-read of the Robert Langdon series, as the 6th book got out and I got it. 😊

I do miss reading paper books, I always loved seeing how far I was by spotting the bookmark between the pages. I've always been very careful with my books, something my mum imprinted on me since we started borrowing books at the library when I was a young one. But... With my hands being as bad as they are, and me enjoying to read in darker areas, the eReader with the soft backlight (and the adjustable font size, as you can't do that with a book either), and the light weight, it's been a godsend to me and my love for reading.

Some moments, I read a lot... And then... Well... Not. :ablobcatangel: Let's put away my phone and grab the reader. Snuggle up with Bas on the couch, and try to get a bit closer to the ending... :blobcatbook:

I had some books lined up to read... And many I was/am interested in reading, as I mentioned.

Yesterday, when I went to bed, I didn't feel like reading the fourth Hunger Games book... I was tempted to read the "Rosemary & Rue" book, but as I was tired, I opted for a book that I had previously read (even though it's been a while): "Storm Front", by Jim Butcher.

No idea which book will be my 4th of 2026, but I'll just keep reading when I feel like it... :ablobcatangel:

I'm crazy enough to even start the Seanan McGuire book as well, depending on my mood...

Happy reading! :blobcatbook:

Brief , which I might edit. I started reading romance in early 2021 (the Before Vaccination era) when I realized the promise of an HEA did wonders for my mood. I read almost entirely in (I've played some angles to have nine cards in that app) but I'm branching out to as well as I find the limitations of Overdrive's catalog. I read primarily but not entirely M/F contemporaries; in 2022 I experimented with a few authors of historicals (Kleypas, Grant, Milan).
