Did you see that kindle two-for-one deal coming up soon? Trying to decide if I should use my discounted swipes on a postmodern doorstopper or on a few light novels.

How i can fix the problem with the pages count and calculation timetofinishedit.
It takes, for example, to taps to do one page...
I didnt buy the ebooks, desu.

imagine not using a kobo

>>9681710
Kobo is worse since their page swipes costs the double.

>>9681716
You're paying for quality, anon. Kobo employs more aesthetic fonts with a mind for which fonts approximate most closely the overall "feel" of the subject matter.

>>9681723
I actually really love how my Kobo does that. Having the fonts change dynamically to match the mood of the page I'm reading is really immersive.

>>9681631

I'm sorry, I'm really confused here. What do you mean you ran out of page swipes? I don't own a Kindle or any other E-reader. Can you only read a certain amount of pages?

I would reply at greater length but I'm almost out of keystrokes on my Dell.

>>9681756
You have to make the font smaller so there's more words per page if you want to save on swipes.

>>9681775
Is there a Starbucks near you? They've got a promotional right now--free keystrokes AND page swipes.

Is this new mem? I like.

Alternatively you can purchase the screen expansion plug-in

What are you talking about?

I have a Kindle Voyage and I don't have any sort of "swipe limit." I put a book on it and read as much or as little as I want. Period.

>>9681804
Do you have an unlimited swipes plan?

>>9681780
But that's just it. How the hell does it limit your page swipes? What kind of bullshit is that? The damn thing charges you to read your books? That sounds ridiculous.

>>9681804
You probably havent read enough to hit the limit.

>>9681819
You pay for the content - the intellectual property. The swipes are another thing entirely.

>>9681841
But once I buy the kindle and access to the content, how is it then okay for there to be a limit on the amount of pages I can read at a time? How is that practice okay? Or am I understanding this incorrectly? How exactly does this whole thing work?

>>9681804
you must have inadvertently signed up for unlimited swipes in your amazon setup. there's a $39.99 monthly charge for doing that, $19.99 if you went with the adds

For a bunch of supposedly one of the highest intellect groups on 4chan you idiots sure are biting this bait hard.

>inb4 merely pretending

>>9681855

What a terribly written sentence, accompanied by terrible bait.

>>9681846
Well Kindle has to maintain their servers, and when you swipe on a page a laborer has to actually swipe the physical book that's being livestreamed to the screen of your e-reader
