I've just started doing puzzles almost daily in the last couple months and I love it. I got Lichess yesterday and it seems to have a lot, but not be so well organized. I'm happy to spend a couple hours on chess daily and I want to learn, but I don't want to spend that much if it isn't best for a beginner. I have a chess app on my iPad through Apple Arcade that I've been making some progress with. I don't know if this subscription is something that'll really help set me up for success or if it's more geared towards people who have a clue what they're doing already. It seems great, and I'd love to hear from people who started with it at a low level. Does it have well structured lessons for people barely starting out? Is it well organized? Lichess has tons of classes but I can't seem to find any step by baby step instructions, just random lessons put together by people who do know what they're talking about and the lessons seem great, but I'm looking for more of an organized curriculum. Am I better off with books and YouTube as a beginner? Everything with Chess com seems great but people say I can find it all at Lichess and I can't seem to find anything there. I've been eyeing a subscription for over a year and would put time into it, I just want to hear if it makes sense. Would you recommend I get it while it's on sale? If you have Diamond, what makes it worth it to you? Is it fun to use? Do the bots really help? Do you wish you'd started with it? I really appreciate any input.

Edit: Reddit won't actually show me the comments at the moment, I just get notifications that there are a couple, so I'm trying to fix that.

I want to have my covers showing but I don't want to have any issues with the screen. Will it cause any problems from not having the regular screensavers?

I have very dark circles and the Catrice eye concealer in pink and Maybelline instant age rewind concealer don't cover them. I have very nice skin other than that except some redness on my chin and very large pores, so I don't want to cover my whole face. I want something I can just put in the middle of my face and blend out with a sponge that won't look like a mask. No concealer I've tried has covered my dark circles and I'm willing to spend $20 if it'll last a while but I'd prefer something that costs less. I don't want something radiant or dewy, I want something that just looks like skin. I have an oily t zone at times and it'll need to stand up to 120° heat with setting powder or setting spray.

I had a collection of all my downloaded books. My Kindle and phone had a different number of books in this collection, so I made a new collection and deleted the old one. Immediately after that my Kindle and phone show my other collections are empty. I still seem to have all my books, but I don't know why this happened and what I can do to prevent it. I restarted my Kindle but they're still empty. I'm adding books back in but is this just a known bug or something concerning?

I genuinely want to know if there's a solid reason since I don't plan to sideload books from Project Gutenburg and the app works well for me for books that I can't send to Kindle. The graininess is also a concern as I don't want anything blurrier than my Paperwhite. I don't understand how a Kobo would be more than a device exclusively for Libby in my case but I'd like to hear from people who've owned a Kindle and Kobo or who switched to one from the other. Is there any argument for owning both?

Edit: I can see there's no reason for me to get a Kobo.
