  • Need help!!

    I'm trying to upload my Goodreads library here, it's a CSV file as mentioned there. Still it's not accepting 🥲. What could be the reason? What am I doing wrong?

  • e-reader settings!!

    i've been seeing this trend on tiktok that they introduce themselves based on their (kindle) settings. it's also a nice way to like get the ball rolling when it comes to bookish friendships and stuff. with that, i'll go first!

    hi, i'm sparkle from the Philippines 🇵🇭! i have a secondhand kindle paperwhite 7th gen (which i purchased on facebook at a little under Php 3,000 lol). i jailbroke it, so i often times use koreader for my reads, mainly because I read at night and the device does not have night mode natively. I switch from dark to light mode depending on the time and if there is ambient lighting. when I have my backlight, I usually keep it at 7. either just off or 7. nothing in between.

    i keep my font size at 9 😆 main reason i bought a kindle was that i don't have to deal with reading smaller fonts as it makes my eye strain. i don't use glasses, my 20-20 vision is something i really cherish so i don't want eye strain especially when i normally use tech for work. i have bookerly as my font, just because i have gotten used to it. i have my bold on 1, just because i want the text to pop a little bit. i usually just use portrait mode while reading.

    although i have a big font size, i want to compensate with the margins to be as little as possible, and the line spacing to be as little as well. i show my clock while reading because i usually get in the zone and forget the time, and i have time left in chapter as well so that i'll be motivated to finish it in the time listed below. another reason being if the chapter is quite long, and it is bedtime already, i know better to sleep than risk leaving the chapter unfinished 😆

    i guess that's all about my settings, what about yours? feel free to comment, i will follow each one of you lol

  • Book recs?

    Any book recommendation to get out of a reading slump? Preferably a novella or a book > 200 pages. As long as it fiction i don’t mind.

  • Library organizing?

    How do you organize your library on Pagebound? Especially after importing books from Goodreads or Storygraph. I'm thinking of importing my Goodreads library to here, but does it get organized as the same as it was in Goodreads? Will it be in the same order, including the read dates? Will all my ratings be there? I'm so confused lol
