KLC Battery Drain
Hi,
I got the KLC 6 days ago. I've charged it till 50% (was impatient and didn't fully charge) and I've been reading about 30 mins per day. Today the charge is 19%. I mistakenly had WiFi on, but switched it off when battery was about 25%. I guess even when sleeping the battery is dropping.
Is this normal? This is my first e-reader so idk. but I've heard people saying e-reader battery last very long.
Btw, my brightness is consistent around 10% (sometimes even less).
Finally got the Kobo Libra Colour
Got my first e-reader - KLC. Thanks to everyone here for answering my queries.
I like this e-reader. Nothing more to say about the good things - it has already been told lots of times. I would rather like to talk about somethings I noticed
- Screen-door effect: During normal reading conditions, I don't notice the screen-door effect at all, except if I bring the e-reader really close to my eyes (at that distance I can't even read). Some people said, the screen-door effect becomes visible in high brightness. I tried and didn't notice ig. In fact I can't keep it at high/full brightness, it's so bright it feels kinda like looking at a light bulb. xD.
- Colours: People said colours are muted. That's ok. But I feel it's kinda pixelated and jittery. Yeah ig that's because of 150ppi? Should I post a picture of coloured stuff so that you people can tell if it's normal? Another thing, I set the colour mode to G2 but I feel it didn't change anything. 😅. Is it safe to change that settings? If it is safe, why did they hide it behind developer mode? Btw, the black texts are crisp, no jittery or pixelated stuff there, I feel.
- Contrast: Yeah the background is kinda grey (not crisp white) like newspaper ig. But I turned on warm light and it became yellow and it looks like paperback novels. I'm happy 😊
- Screen Glare: The screen has a bit of glare. So don't expect to be able to read from every angle. I can't really describe what angles are good, you just need to get the device in your hands to see.
- Account creation: Not a big deal. But I thought Kindle forces you to link account (as far as I understood), Kobo maybe won't. But I needed to link an account to start. Nowadays, I feel almost every device from Windows 11 to Android to these e-readers (except desktop Linux xD) is forcing us to link an online account. Sometimes, I just prefer to use my device without binding it to an online account 🤷♂️. But as I said, not a very big deal, just created an account.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase. This is my very first e-ink device. So I can't really compare xD. Do tell me any tips and tricks that can help me take care of my e-reader or enhance my reading experience.
Is the KLC Screen sandy?
I know the screen quality of kaleido3 vs Carta has been discussed a lot. But I just want to ask, does the colour screen look as bad in real life as in photos?
Because in photos I see it has kind of a sandy texture - the background is not uniform coloured. But often when we take pictures of screen, the camera sensor picks up artefacts which our eyes can't (happens with LCD. idk about e-ink). I was thinking it's best to see with my own eyes before buying - but I can't find any offline store in my city that is selling e-readers (neither kindle nor kobo) 😓.
So, those who have KLC or KCC, please tell does the screen really look sandy in real life use (I mean in normal reading conditions. Not when we bring it in front of your eyes to deliberately see the texture).
How can I change my correspondence email?
I submitted some work to some journals with my university email id as the correspondence email. It has been quite sometime and I haven't got a decision yet. But now I'm graduating and I need to give up the email id (I didn't foresee this situation 😅).
So, how can I change the correspondence email id? coz this email would get deactivated soon
Can't Bad Guys Have Fun?
I see people complaining that the Fatui were supposed to be evil — so why are they being cute and playing and stuff.
But,
Can't bad guys have fun?
Can't bad guys have friends? Can't they play and drink tea and party?
Someone may be bad to certain people but good to others.
Signora was rude to the Traveller and Venti and Raiden. That doesn't mean she would be rude to her friends.
I realised that the Fatui harbingers are not evil for the love of the game (except Dottore the chad, maybe). They are just military agents doing missions given by their queen. As such they would have enemies and friends too.
And I see people talking about retcon. idk. maybe the story is retconed (idk if this word exists. I just learnt the word "retcon" today. I guess the past tense would be "retconed"). But that's not the topic of this post.
Should I buy this e-reader now or wait?
I want to buy this e-reader Kobo Libra Colour. I checked price history and the price was consistently around Rs. 19,999 since the beginning but just few months back it became Rs. 23,999. Why so much increase?

Anyway my main question is - Should I buy this now or wait for possible price drop? Can I expect big discount on this during Prime Day Sale or similar?
