Maybe look into an Onyx Boox instead of a Kindle. It will let you download books straight from the web (like standardebooks.org and Project Gutenberg) without having to side load. Also, you can add the Libby and Overdrive apps to it since it accesses the Google Play store. Also, it accepts all files formats so you don't have to convert anything.

I read on e-readers a lot and I've been known to long press a word on the page of a real book to get a definition. Yeah... Muscle memory is a hell of a thing.
If I had a 17 year old I'd let them watch it. But, yep, only a parent can judge for their own kids and not a stranger on the internet.
I'm all for getting more people into Trigun, but just a heads up that it can get a bit dark and has some mature themes when it's not wacky or funny. Episode 3 of Trigun: Stampede took a lot of folks unaware, especially since the first two episodes were more light-hearted.
New hyper focus: Trigun. I watched the "retelling" Trigun: Stampede anime and it was awesome. It's reinvigorated my love of the IP and I'm re-reading the manga for the first time in like 20 years. My poor emotions.
My lovely boyfriend is out returning a standing desk for me because it has a cracked desktop. He knows I would have delayed returning it because of executive dysfunction. He did everything, including chatting with customer service for me.
Not looking forward to returning to work tomorrow after my 4 day Thanksgiving weekend though.
Dragon Age: Origins. Not sure why. I was a big fan of Mass Effect already, and of story heavy RPGs in general, but I stopped this one pretty early on and sat on it for several years. Needless to say, it stuck the second time and now I've played it and the other Dragon Age games multiple times.
All of the above, but I think periodic check-ins would get some engagement at the very least. Memes are fun and articles are informative, but unfortunately we're a bunch who's usually into whatever our hyper-focus du jour is, and it's not always going to be our ADHD. So I see those two as hit or miss, unless someone is dedicated.
But check-ins don't require forethought or planning (except for whoever starts the thread) and we can just pop into the thread to vent or laugh at ourselves or whatever.
Yeah, it's the price that bothers me the most about this. For the same amount, you can get a whole Switch Lite.
And I'm still salty about how they treated the Vita. This is what we get as the first handheld successor to the Vita? And the Vita didn't cost much more.
Thank you kindly! Off to do some shopping!
Yeah, @Freesiana, I have to know where you got that Mass Effect pillowcase. I want one.
Also, adorable sus kitty!
I just discovered a cookbook called Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables by Joshua McFadden while looking up cookbooks to get me to eat more veggies. It's in the mail, so I can't vouch for the recipes yet. Apparently it's very highly rated though and I'm excited for some tasty veggies.
I also read some things in the languages I'm trying to learn, and this feature is essential for translating words I don't know yet.
Plus, the backlight (adjusted for warmth so as not to keep me up) lets me read in bed with the light off and I don't have to get up to turn it off when I'm done.
I was very pro only real books for a while, and still am a fan of a real book, but the quality of life features of e-readers eventually sold me. Especially because night is one of the few times I can read.
