When you get directions with something and the printing is too small to read.

Or when the manufacturing date / best before date on products are laser etched using small print on bottled extracts (lemon / orange/ mint).
Normally I don't worry too much about best before dates but with those extracts the flavour does change significantly Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk |

Or how quickly the printing on receipts fade. Oops, can't return that thing now because the receipt's gone almost blank!

CEX aka WeBuy often tell customers to snap the receipt with the phone and that will do.

Thermal paper only lasts 30 to 90 days before it fades into obscurity.

When I finish reading a chapter and it leaves me at something like 31% or 51% through the book. It makes my brain itch.

(But what do you do when there are no chapters, but rather visible breaks in the narrative?) |

I often stop in the middle of a sentence at a completely random place.
I'm also capable of finding the same spot where I left off on my other Kobo when I switch my ereaders (the page numbers differ - I have epubs on one and kepubs on the other). Take that! Of course I'd be ecstatic if I could find anything else (like my glasses or socks) even half as easily as the place where I left off reading... |

When others want to know the path to their eBooks in their calibre library when they should not know that and really have no need to know that.

I'm not sure what's more frustrating: the "I put my library on an NAS/Dropbox/GDrive and now I'm having issues" posts, or the "how do I change my Calibre library structure?" posts.
