They’re mono, Jude. The iPad apps are colour, and I’ve read my MacFormat in the bath on my iPad Air, but the little Kobo is just text and mono pics – but very clear, sharp text.

?Hello folks,
I am looking at replacing my Kindle, which I used ti keep in my shoulder bag for reading when we were out for a meal. There are so many models now! I do have the app (also Kobo and the Apple one that I hardly use) on my iPad but that is too big and heavy to carry about. I just want, primarily, good battery life and ease of reading, with capacity in third place but not sure what else I should look for. Any recommendations? TIA!

I have the Kobo H20, bought after Barnes and Noble stopped supporting the Nook. ?I’ve had it for a couple of years and it works well. ?It’s waterproof, so it’s not a risk to use it for reading in the bath :-)
The backlight is subtle enough to use in bed at night with the lights out and I therefore don’t disturb my wife if I can’t sleep.
And it’s not giving Bezos more money that he doesn’t need ;-)
Cheers

Re: That ghastly rainbow log in screen
If you look at wiki about pandemics Australia has done well every time — one thing about being on the bottom end of the world I suppose?

What a monstrosity -- Apple has made it difficult to get rid of -- someone up at Apple must have been drunk or on something when they deided we all might like that ! What an eyesore.
I figured out it only showed up as a log in with multiple users. Threw husband off mine (he never used it anyway ) and i was able to have my a photo I took myself both at log in and desktop.?
I'm obviously not alone as there is a continuous discussion on Apple discussion area -- do you think they take notice up at Apple when we whinge about something like that monstrosity for a log in.
I have tried out various desktop pictures over time. I like to make the occasional swap - on the older Mac if you had a desktop pic sitting there too long it sort of burned it into the screen a bit. Don't know if it would do it on the iMac Pro screen.?
One wouldn't want a rainbow burned in would one ?? ? :-)?

Some creative locals on the local fb page had been talking Canva as a design tool. You can have use as a free account. It's quite interesting. Has app for Mac and app for iPad and iPhone.?
Free is not too shabby I have to say. Put it on my iPad pro and it understands the pen.?
?I have been having a few experiments with it. I picked on a presentation template and had a play with it and downloaded it as a .pptx and it opened quite ok. Having a play with greeting cards at the moment. You can progress to doing printed items via Canva -- t shirts, mugs etc. ?It lets you drop in pix from Pexels and Insta etc to your project. ?Can do a certain amount of photo editing with it. Canva Apps on app store and on Canva site. ?I don't know if I would have enough use for it as a Pro subscription and not collaborating with anyone these days for the most part.?
We have to fill in our time don't we ... till the borders open down here in Oz.?

Not complicated — just try to keep up. ?Husband is coming to grips with the smart phone idea — I am thinking I will let him have my original SE and buy myself a new one - by the time they cut off that phone as we progress to the 5G ?he’ll be more reliable about looking after a new one I hope.?
Just been looking at — trying out the free version to see whether anything on there is useful to me. I see people mention it on local FB page - thought I’d take a look. ?Easy way to throw a presentation together - can be exported off the web as a .pptx. You can make logos and all sorts of things on there. ?Very interesting. ?I don’t think I want a paid “subscription” though.?
:-) ? Jude

What a complicated setup you seem to have! ?:D Best Susan If you go to Big Sur I think it wiped out 1Password. I use the keychain. ?I had been wiping out any 32 bit programs on my Mac and replacing with 64 bit where possible --- have gone to Big Sur only because I think there might be advantages for the new iPad Pro in doing it. ?But of course when I did all the updates the other day and it set off the Honda in the garage I sort of thought maybe I shouldn't have done all that ?:-) ?But its progress eh.
I discovered I could get Spotify to play through the big TV - then have husband complaining about choices of music! So I stick on 100 best driving songs and he whinges. ?:-) :-)?
