This is one where I’m not sure if I’ll reread as an ebook or not. The occasional footnotes require a few more hops than on the printed page.

If you attach images, as issybird did, rather than embedding them, then a thumbnail is displayed. Clicking on the thumbnail displays the image.

The problem is Tapatalk, but it’s readily resolved by attaching all images. Not by continuing to do what wasn’t working.

However, I take issue with the post being moved here. I had intended for it to be a showcase of what we read on Kobos. By moving it here, it’s become a general reader post, which I'm sure there are plenty already in existence. I understand I can't police what people post in here, but is it alright to change the title to be Kobo-centric? I tried to change the topic to "What are you reading on your Kobo? Share a photo!", but it only sticks for my first post, not the thread. If it's too much work to edit the main thread's title, perhaps you should just delete this entire discussion. I'll have to start over. :|
Why differentiate between what is read on Kobos and what is read on other devices? There was a time here of Jukes and Kallikaks; let’s not revisit. In any case, I repeat: posts about books belong in this forum. Making posts about books somehow about the device seems bizarre to me, but I’ll change the header. And don’t start over; thanks.

Exactly.
apropos of not much, thanks for this reference I'd not heard of before - I wonder what the chances of publication would be today for a work entitled "A Study in the Heredity of Feeble-Mindedness"?

Following the recent discovery of Endurance I am currently reading Ranulph Fiennes' biography of Shackleton. An interesting look at a famous explorer from the viewpoint of another famous explorer.

KOReader's History function is also handy for making next reads easier to find again - the top row in this screenshot shows from right to left my current read and the next 2 I'm planning to read.

I am reading A Rule Against Murder. It is the 4th book in the Chief Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny. This is an excellent series. The characters make this more so then the murders.

Much like the manner in which perfectly acceptable images are included in posts do not need to be commented upon.

I know! I did a double take the first time I looked at the picture and looked at my Kobo! One of the spots towards the upper right made me wonder if I had dropped something wet on it. Pretty good artwork, if a bit abstract.

Here's my contribution. I'm re-reading the old Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy. It's pretty cheesy, but it's an enjoyable page-turner of a series.

I do miss the original covers. I have surprisingly had no luck finding nice, large scans. Such a popular series, lack of decent quality first edition covers is weird.

Maybe I should throw my own paperbacks on the scanner... I'll likely never get around to it

This one is for @Sirtel - what better way to celebrate starting a new (for me) series than with a "safe" screenshot
