Offline activity suggestion: try to go as long as it's possible/safe for you without looking at your GPS, next time you're going somewhere. Or, easier mode: try navigating using a physical map and not your phone.

Whoops, already missed the first month 🫠 I'd like to say it's because I was very offline, but that only applied to the first half of February for me, alas.

Use this post for things that for whatever reason you feel don't warrant their own post, like:

• small vents about how every bar know wants you to scan a QR code for the drink list
• quick questions/requests for recs
• all barely on-topic chit chat

i think most brands have a waterproof model nowadays. i love my kobo, i have one that's over 10 years old which has obviously slowed down but not to the point of unusability -- depending on where you live and whether you care about a well-integrated library catalogue/store another brand might make more sense though. if you just care about dumping a bunch of epub files you got somewhere else on it then picking the cheapest waterproof option is the way to go, i think.

you can also look into buying refurbished/secondhand if sustainability is a concern. my experience of them lasting forever seems to be pretty standard among e-reader owners anyway.
