Help me create my own personal songbook

First of all, I know I should probably just learn my music theory. But, really, I just want to whip out the guitar and strum straight away. Sometimes it's not just the chords that I can't recall, it's also the lyrics and sometimes it's song itself that I forget I do know how to play. So I figured since I always have my e-reader on me and I also have an old edition of Scrivener on my laptop and a basic knowledge of it (which actually means I've zero idea how to actually work on this app) that I'd make my own songbook.

After tinkering for a few hours, I now have the makings of a songbook with a few songs in it. I wanted it originally to be in epub but I found it's only through pdf that I could preserve the formatting of the chords relative to the lyrics. (The spaces get eliminated in epub even after preserving the formatting.) Though it does work, I want it to have a working TOC with songs instead of chapters like it does for ereader formats. Now I looked into some published songbook epubs and the way they did it was basically just embed an image of the chords/lyrics into an epub and that's it. I honestly don't think there's a better way of doing that without the use of images, but I'd be grateful if anyone could suggest the most efficient way I could convert or embed these pdf pages into a epub format, or maybe direct me into a better way of doing this personal project.

It's time to give Rumble and Viktor the Norra ult treatment

Auto-cast most times does the work if your only goal is damaging an enemy target but Rumble ult and Viktor(3) used effectively means also using it to zone your enemies. And I've tried all the settings but it's still really hard to pull off when in the middle of a hectic team fight. Maybe it's just skill issue, but still what's the point if the mechanic is already there. Just implement it universally or make it an option.

I just want the perfect kobo cover case

A cover that's detachable magnetically so you could take it off easily and doesn't just flop around when using a grip; a full coverage magnetic back that's swappable and customizable so you can move your grip around to your comfort; and maybe two points/slots at either side of the bottom or top so it also doesn't twist and turn if you want to attach the whole thing to a lanyard. This might sound like a pipe dream but what frustrates me is that all these features are actually available in 3rd party cover cases out in the market. It's just not one of them have all these on one case. Surely I can actually do some DIY to achieve this. And I am. I've actually ordered the case with the magnetic detachable cover and a separate magnetic plate for the back. But wouldn't it be nice if we can just buy the whole thing and it'll look nice, even plain and blank would be great, but also won't burn like 35-60 dollars through our pockets especially considering the whole diy is only like 15 dollars tops.

I think our generation may have ended the idea of yard dogs

I've never been to any home of people our age that still chain their dog and let them live outside, and I'm proud of us for that.
