This is the first version of this guide, so please share any feedback, and I'll include it in the next version.

And let me know if I missed any Canadian or Canadian adjacent companies :)

What is the symbol under the library apps?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It means they share their profits with others. In this case, they enable you to support nearby libraries and facilitate the process.

The Kobo Libra I got a few years ago for 150 bucks has been a lifesaver. It's not particularly fast or big. But it's way better than the Kindle crap.

So you ever have charging issues? Sometimes mine just dies, and then doesn't wanna charge.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yes. Though it might be related to the micro USB ports being bad. Or cables being bad.

The newer USB C ones are guaranteed to be better.

I have a usb c one, and its... Weird

Sometimes when it fully discharges it will just not take a charge. Once I had to open it up to jump the battery directly.

The other day it was at 16%, so I plugged it in. It charged to 75 percent... And then turned off, now it won't turn on. Might try jump-starting it again.

Wondering if I have a bad battery

What's the point of "Environmental" under causes if none of them have it?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

This is a generic format but you're right that it is confusing to keep in.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I appreciate the response 😅 my AuDHD forces me to ask dumb questions. If I don't, my head explodes.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I do wonder if Kobo is worth taking environmental, they do a lot of post-recycle plastic

Looks good, but I’m curious about sources showing to what extent Libby is profit sharing.

Kobo HQ is Toronto, but it’s owned by Rakuten of Tokyo so
 not sure how to categorize that

What's with all the low res images on Lemmy? It happens often enough to be annoying.

I mean here is a perfectly informative graphic, if it were readable.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Very readable on my end. Might be your client?

Hey, true! I had no idea. I'm on Voyager, if I own it on Firefox it's fine!
