Celebrating/talking about repairing stuff, the right to repair stuff, and the intersection of tech and solarpunk ideals.

What does it mean to use what we have, including technology, to try to build a better, more environmentally just world?

After having a terrible experience with an Onyx Boox Palma breaking within 24 hours of receipt…I’m glad I rage bought a Kobo Libra Colour lol.

I ordered it even though I have a perfectly good libra 2 that I use all the time. Mine hasn't arrived yet. If I like it I'll give my mom the non colour otherwise she gets the colour. Even though I normally avoid unreviewed devices I'll give kobo the benefit of the doubt once as the Libra 2 is an excellent device.

I’m really pleased with mine. I figured out if you use nickelmenu it is possible to have the games too! That is the only way I have found to access them. For some reason Kobo isn’t making them accessible even with devmodeon enabled.

I upgraded from an Aura H20 Edition 2 so I notice a distinct upgrade in speed and function. I hope you like yours as much as I like mine!

I have the Libra 2 as well and I like it a lot. I’ve heard the repairability and upgradeability aren’t the best though because there’s a bunch of glue to make it waterproof. Glad they’re taking steps to improve that moving forward though.
