Caliber search tip is really helpful. I didn’t know it was capable of that and there’s been many times I wished I could search through multiple sources at once.
I haven’t jumped into the eBook scene since I feel like you need a dedicated reader and that’s not something I see myself using much outside of an emergency. I agree though, the tech that’s out there now to support it is pretty cool.
Dedicated ebook reader replaced physical books for me. Easy on the eyes and like the resizable text, and light form factor while saving up space that normal books take up.
Interesting. I remember there was a podcast a while back where he recommended Onyx readers. Is that the one you’re using?
I’ve been using a kindle but had been eyeing the kobo. I’ll have to look into onyx too since that’s one I haven’t heard of.
