i tried to manage expectations. 🤷‍♂️ And they are spring-y and *delightful* 💐🌸🪻

Everything I do to try to keep expectations low around the surprise only makes it worse. 😂

Don't go too crazy. It's a cute spring surprise rather than a big surprise.

New York, we are BACK! Can't wait for the Kobo crew to meet up with Kobo fans, ebook fans, and reading fans. So much cool stuff: a spring surprise that we are unveiling there, goodies we are giving away, a chance to touch and try Kobo ereaders, all in our cozy Booth 537 in Hall 3! See you there! ❤️

Congratulations to the farmers of America who fought for right-to-repair. This was a huge case hard-fought.

L'amour que les gens portent au Kobo Mini est éternel.

Kobo also ✨out-dances💫 most Silicon Valley startups. 🕺

Did it just work from start to finish?

That‘s a proper OG Kobo! My FiL did the same thing. And kept using it pushing the contact switches underneath 🤦‍♂️ “It’s fine!”

I remember it from my high school guidance counsellor's office wall. Never gets old.

Do we have location scouts looking for possible New Avignon candidates? Religious schisms *and* a real estate scam would check all of the boxes.

Chicago Turns All Public School IDs Into Library Cards To Boost Student Access Chicago Public Library and CPS announced the expansion of The 81 Club, building on a pilot launched in 2022 to give students access to the library system's vast collection and databases.

This is such a good idea. We should do this in NYC.

"All Chicago Public Schools students now have access to nearly everything the city’s libraries have to offer — including physical items like books as well as extensive digital resources."

My marketing & product crew bound me with solemn oaths to only speak about the past and present, never the future. There is very interesting stuff we can do with Instapaper that we want to explore. And bookshop.org is an excellent, very small team doing their best to manage a very tight roadmap 🤞

First, I'm pouring one out for a PR team in Seattle that's having a really rough day. Hang in there you crazy kids.

Now let's see who needs some Kobo questions answered... 😂 #kobo #kindle

a laundry detergent bottle? in this economy?

The conditions of my release onto social media mean I can only talk about the present and the past. The marketing team comes in with a butterfly net if I ever talk about the future. So I live in the endless now. 😂

You deserved some goodness in your life. You were on the front lines 👍

C'est super!

Posting about ereader longevity and Kobo inspires friends to show all of the Kobo's they own. It's the best. Please note Kobo Mini on the right from 2013 - the love people have for the Mini will never die ❤️

Tu aussi, comme tout le monde. La version 2 est sans doute notre liseuse la plus populaire… que nous n’avons pas encore créée. 😂

They're on the case and understand the urgency 👍

Wow! Right there from the beginning. Thanks so much for sticking with us 👍

Thanks! Doing my best.

Nous avons certes des clients qui continuent de les utiliser, mais si un problème survient, nous ne pouvons pas faire grand-chose pour les aider.

C'est là tout le problème avec les appareils pour lesquels nous ne proposons plus de mises à jour. Les éventuelles erreurs qui surviennent sur ces appareils ne peuvent donc pas être corrigées ni faire l'objet de mises à jour.

That feels like a dubious honour, but I'll take it 😀

Oui. Comme nous ne pouvons pas le mettre à jour, le risque est bien plus grand de se retrouver dans une situation où le logiciel ne pourra plus être restauré. Une réinitialisation d'usine de l'appareil ne permettrait pas de récupérer une nouvelle copie de l'ancien logiciel. C'est triste, vraiment.

Not discontinued. The Libby interface changed how they handle multiple cards and we have to find a new way to support them. It's in the works.
