    Well, hello there family!

    I was hoping, but not expecting, to see another old gods fan. Being from the Appalachians, it’s awesome to listen to a podcast like this and feeling a deep connection. I’ve gone to both of their live show tours, and it’s the only thing I am a patreon of.

    Soooooo good

    Well, the good news is that NACS is looking to be the defacto connector for North America. That will effectively replace j1772, CCS, and kill off the last vestiges of chademo. Essentially every major ev producer has announced switching to NACS.

    EU looks to be married to the CCS2 standard

    My library made the switch to Libby and it still works! I think it still uses the same API.

    I just got a Kobo Libra 2 after having a couple Kindles for over a decade and am not looking back. This thing checks all the boxes I want (sharp, quick screen, backlighting, open to all formats) and comes in at a great price. Also, there’s no pesky ads you have to pay extra not to see!

    Now, I should add that I’m not heavily invested in the Amazon library as all my books are epub format. So transferring my library was effortless.

    One last selling point on the kobo: OverDrive support. It’s sooooo handy to just checkout books from my local library within the device. Easy peasy. Complete game changer when it comes to getting books!

    Honestly, getting a Kobo is a no brainer. It’s everything I had to hack the Kindle into doing for less.

    Oh, it’s also waterproof!
