So sorry.

I see that on the Libra Colour, you can mark up some things in color. For me, marking up pdf's in color is important, but I can't see that anyone has discussed that. On Kobo's b/w devices that allow writing on the screen, there is no choice to change the width of the pen for pdf's, and I am concerned that there may be no color mark-ups on the Libra Colour. If anyone knows about this, I'd appreciate it if they would post.

If you go to the eReaders page of the Kobo website the first images you see for both Libra Colour and Clara Colour are pages with multiple colour mark-up. Admittedly those images are probably of KEPUBs not PDFs to it's not conclusive proof.

The main thing she would have seen is colour covers long so all her lurid romance books (I hate to call them novels)

Weeeeeell, why do you think I've gotten the Clara colour? And they are totally honest novels So, if she was like me, she would have enjoyed those covers.

Yes I am thanks. I came to terms with all my losses a few months back. While yes, I miss Sue on an hourly basis, I realized that the last year of her life while she was dealing with cancer (lung but had spread to other areas) was very painful for her.

At the end it looks as if she also contracted COVID-19 and possibly also pneumonia, was suffering from a chronic cough. The COVID-19 was only detected when she'd been admitted to Emerg for the pneumonia...

The house fire happened 6 weeks later and has thrown a major wrench into settling her affairs! She had left no will; I had no idea of her banking or anything! I'm slowly piecing together her Estate, which is further complicated but her Mother who passed away a year ago being named as her beneficiary on various items!

I'm glad you are able to keep going. Be well and hope it all gets sorted soon.

Peter, in the months after David’s passing, you also went silent. I wondered what was going on with you and why we didn’t hear from you anymore. I’m stunned at what you’ve had to endure! My condolences to the loss of your wife.
