Big thank you for all that helped me

My thread on calibre gotten too huge and off topic I am afraid this message will get lost. I am referring to my thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=293375



I finally got Kindle books on Calibre and able to transfer my first Book over to my Nook Glowlight 3! YAY!


I do not want to leave the house with my Oasis 2 but want to use my nook glowlight which is more durable in case of drops ... etc. Now I can read my kindle book on my nook yay!

How is the nook more durable than the Oasis? Both have a glass backed screen.

Congratulations! I suggest going on Amazon and getting a nice case for both of your readers.

Hi

You have taken your fist steps up the Calibre learning curve.

You will need to take many more. I still feel like a sometimes and I have been using Calibre for years.

You can mostly rely on getting sympathetic help in the forums especially if you have checked the manual first.

Hmmm... Nook Glowlight 3 at $89, Kindle Oasis at minimum $249.99. Which would you prefer to break?

Though I agree that any ereader belongs in a decent case to protect the screen.

You mean we are expected to spend time reading books instead of talking/typing about the devices we can read them with? What a strange and marvelous thought!

Indeed. I wonder why it has never entered in my head before...

Yay! Glad you got it to work.

I take my H2O out and about and I've never ever came close to breaking it.

Everybody is different. I've been carrying a phone in my pocket for years, long before I got phone service. I used to use them for audiobooks, games and videos. I've never had an accident that damaged one. I've never used a case. Wait, once about 5 or 6 years ago, while walking into the bathroom reading with it in my hand I stumbled and it flew into the toilet and died a horrible death! Fortunately the manufacturer replaced it even though I told them what happened.

My landlady, on the other hand, had to replace her Iphone because every time she dropped it it got damaged a little more till it finally broke. She replaced it about 4 months ago with a Galaxy S8 which she's since dropped and damaged at least 3 or 4 times. it now has a cracked screen which is getting worse and it's probably not going to last much longer.

The Iphone was in one of those damage proof cases. The Galaxy wasn't. It's dying a little faster but neither lasted very long.

I just got a case for my new Nook. I keep my Kindles and Kobos in cases. But I always have a Kobo Aura handy without a case because it fits so nicely in my pocket. Lately I've used my phone instead but that Kobo is probably 3 or 4 years old now and it's been all over the place with me many times and it's still like new.

The benefit of a case is that it makes the device easier to hold and helps me worry less about it. The secret to not breaking these things is very simple: don't drop them. Don't set things down on them. Don't stumble while walking toward the toilet!

Easy way to fix the stumble, lay off the tequila.

Sometimes the stumble is better than the solution.
