I recently finished reading Windbreaker, and it's so sad that it's cancelled! The story, art, characters and everything else was so captivating! It's been the first manhwa I've read, and it was such an awesome series!

Obviously tracing is wrong, but the author had such a tight schedule with unrealistic deadlines. I really think cancelling the series was a bit exaggerated. I hope we will get to see a continuation of the story some day... 😢

Which one do you prefer, taking reading manga and battery life into consideration?

I am using KOReader at the moment on my Kobo Libra 2. I am mainly reading manga, and it's great for this purpose, since it has a lot of settings, meaning I don't have to use Kindle Comic Converter to prepare my manga. KOReader also has some plugins I like, but they aren't essential to me. However, the battery drain is around 2,3% per hour (which I assume is a little bit on the higher side). I have heard Nickel is more battery efficient.

• Do you think it's worth it going back to Nickel to get better battery life, or are the benefits of KOReader making it worth sticking to?

Note that this is just my personal opinion and experience.

During the past five years 90% of the music I have been listing to has been japanese. I have listed to many different genres. I've been listing to metal subgenres such as V-kei, symphonic metal and kawaii metal; I've listened to different kinds of pop genres such as shibuya kei and other more modern subgenres; There's been quite a lot of vocaloid and other electronic music. Other genres include rock, shoegaze and so on.

Maybe it is because I simply don't listen very much to western music so that I don't discover great music, but whenever I do the melodies doesn't get stuck in my head in the same way. I feel like western music follows a formula that is quite bland in comparison; it lacks depth and I feel like there hasn't been quite much effort put into the music.

Does anybody else feel the same way, and could there be any explanation to why one might feel this way? 🙂

If I'm not mistaken, the Xteink X4 was released in late 2025 - correct me if I'm wrong.

• Those of you who bought an X4 at this time, how does it hold up? 🙂

Hello!

I have this line in my i3 config, which enables the cursor to move between containers on the same monitor as well. I am using xdotool for this and the cursor places itself in the center of the container. This combined with having focus follows cursor enabled makes it so that I rarely have to touch my mouse.

There is a problem however: when moving focus to second monitor when no window is there the cursor gets stuck in the upper left corner of the main monitor.

set $movemouse "sh -c 'eval `xdotool getactivewindow getwindowgeometry --shell`; xdotool mousemove $((X+WIDTH/2)) $((Y+HEIGHT/2))'"

# Focus between containers - hjkl.
bindsym $mod+h focus left; exec $movemouse
bindsym $mod+j focus down; exec $movemouse
bindsym $mod+k focus up; exec $movemouse
bindsym $mod+l focus right; exec $movemouse

# Focus between containers - cursor keys.
bindsym $mod+Left focus left; exec $movemouse
bindsym $mod+Down focus down; exec $movemouse
bindsym $mod+Up focus up; exec $movemouse
bindsym $mod+Right focus right; exec $movemouse

• Would it be able to make it so that if there is no window on the monitor I am trying to move my cursor to, it instead places itself in the middle of that monitor.

Thanks in advance! :)

Update: I managed to get the exact functionality that I wanted thanks to u/llttmp; now my cursor follows focus between windows on one monitor as well as accross monitors, and it can also go to the center of the monitor when it has no window on it when changing focus between them. The cursor isn't getting stuck in the upper corner anymore. You can read their comment further down for a further explanation, but here is what I put in my i3 config:

• Define the variable:

​

set $movemouse xdotool getactivewindow mousemove --window '%1' --polar 0 0

Put that variable on every line where you want that functionality, like this for example:

# Focus between containers - hjkl.
bindsym $mod+h focus left; exec --no-startup-id $movemouse
bindsym $mod+j focus down; exec --no-startup-id $movemouse
bindsym $mod+k focus up; exec --no-startup-id $movemouse
bindsym $mod+l focus right; exec --no-startup-id $movemouse

# Move focused container, then move cursor to that container's new location - hjkl.
bindsym $mod+Shift+h move left; exec --no-startup-id $movemouse
bindsym $mod+Shift+j move down; exec --no-startup-id $movemouse
bindsym $mod+Shift+k move up; exec --no-startup-id $movemouse
bindsym $mod+Shift+l move right; exec --no-startup-id $movemouse

Hello! My Kobo Libra 2 is around four years old at this point, and I have KOReader installed on it. I have noticed the battery life has gotten worse than when it was new. I always have WiFi and Bluetooth disabled in order to save power.

• Do you think the stock Kobo firmware is more power saving, or is there any other firmware that would be more power efficient?
• Could you give me any recommendations on how to increase battery life in KOReader? Like, for example, if there are some settings you can disable, and so on...

Thanks in advance! :)

I love using the clear transparent case on my Xteink X3 and X4. However, I would like a good way to protect the screen when they are in my pocket or bag...

• Has anyone found any good sleeve, box, pouch or something that fits the device nice and tightly, and provides good protection?

Thanks in advance!

I am currently reading my first light novel series, which is Classroom Of The Elite, and I am having a blast! I have never read this much in my life before. Yesterday I read the entirety of the sixth volume, and today I read all of the seventh volume. I think I read for around six hours today, and it's been really enjoyable. I look forward to what happens from here on out.

• How much of a LN series have you read in a short amount of time?
