I'm not familiar with the Jukes and Kallikaks reference (I'll have to look that one up later), but my intention was to encourage artistic shots of Kobos being read in the wild with bookcovers or such on the screen. I hadn't intended for it to be a parade of book covers, which is very device agnostic. I own a Kindle, too. I just thought it would be fun to see photos of people's Kobo eReaders. Thanks for fixing the thread header! Last edited by Cootey; 05-07-2022 at 04:26 AM. |

In a manga mood with my Elipsa today. Here’s “When Will Ayumu Make His Move?” It’s about a kid who won’t ask out his upperclassman until he beats her at shogi (a game like chess). Unfortunately for him, she’s much better at it than he is.
Also, testing attaching photos via Tapatalk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I don’t really see the connection to posting a thread like this in a specific device forum. Note I am not questioning the mod decision nor do I mean to talk about it. I simply don’t understand how the two are connected but perhaps you have to have both known the reference without Googling and been here when whatever event alluded to was happening to appreciate the comments. |

I’ve decided to stop buying manga until I’ve read what I’ve already bought! I’ll start with my Kobo collection since there are only a handful left unread (not including all the Humble Bundle collections which can be read on anything.)
This is Kakushigoto volume 2, a satirical manga about the manga industry and fatherhood. This volume was brilliant. ★★★★★ Perfect to read on my Kobo Elipsa on an unusually cold May evening. (It even snowed today. So much for Spring!) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Cootey; 05-20-2022 at 06:55 PM. |

Your Kobo in front of a fire is making me nervous!

I don't have a photo but Kobo has a nice photo on their site. I enjoyed this and looking forward to more from this author and this genre.

This is my current read. I enjoyed the first one, and am liking this second one so far. I tried the first 2-3 of his "bones" series, but couldn't warm to the protagonist. This one feels less Neanderthal, and I'm loving the info on art history and restoration.

What are you reading on your Kobo? Share a photo!
Last night’s mood. The ghost stories are hilarious, which is probably NOT what the author was going for.
