When soft plastic became sticky, usually after years, I use nails polish remover. I should remove the soft/sticky part and remains simple plastic

My Libra 2 arrived today. It's my first Kobo, the series/collections feature blew me away. I like the ergonomic design, don't think I'll use sleep cover because it's very comfortable to hold as is. So far I haven't found any problems, I really like it.

I am not the own stating facts or speaking for others.

It is common principle that it is the person coming with a statement that has to back it up (not for others to prove it wrong). It is the basis principle.

I also agree the with Koboy that it is bad regarding opinions to claim to speak for other people than your self. That is really bad manners.

No. In the real world it is the exact opposite.

If I claim the world is flat, it is up to me to give proof of it.

Not true for me. I think it is quite heavy as an e-reader to work comfortably for me.

The thing is, I can have an opinion about anything without having to produce hard proof. And having an opinion is not bad manners. You may think it's bad manners to have an opinion including others than yourself, but that too is only your opinion, and I have a different opinion. And no, I don't have to prove anything to you. You're free to believe me or not, ignore me or not, as you like.

Not quite correct. If you disagree with me, it is up to you to supply some evidence for your disagreement.

I have no problems with opinions. It is just that. Everyone has them, and that is good and fine.

What I agree with Koboy is that it is bad manners when people get high on their horses and claim to speak for others opinions.

Well, my opinion is that I'm allowed to have opinions about other people. And my opinion is that most of them use the frontlight. If that's bad manners in your opinion, you're of course free to think so.

Please. Could people keep their comments to devices and ancillary issues and not on the terms of the discussion? Take it to the Lounge if you must. Thanks.

Sorry if this belongs somewhere else, please either let me know or remove if it that's the case.

Got my Libra 2 in today! A whole 5 days ahead of the estimated delivery time. I ordered from BlueProton's amazon store, and they shipped it via USPS priority mail 2 day. Anyway, I've already made a stock image of the device (waveform 400_B035_HH0701_ED070KH3U3_VD1400-GOB_TC if anyone wants it); however, Nautilus (Ubuntu's stock file explorer) seems to think it's NTFS (see the attached screenshot), and shows a completely wrong root directory. The OS itself recognizes it as FAT32, so I'm not sure quite what the issue is. Has anyone else encountered this? I'd like to install KOReader and Plato; however, I can't with the root directory clearly being wrong. Any advice is appreciated.
