March 2015 Special Run-Off Vote |
10:11 AM by WT Sharpe in Reading Recommendations | Book Clubs Since this month's vote resulted in a tree two-way tie, we are having a Special Run-Off Vote between the two leading candidates. I will not vote in this poll unless my vote is needed to break a tie. Since this is going into the weekend, the poll will be open for 4 days rather than the regular 3 normally assigned to a runoff vote. All MobileRead members are invited to participate. This is a visible poll. It is not multiple choice. We will start the discussion thread for this book on January March 20th. Please select from the following Two Choices: • West with the Night by Beryl Markham Spoiler:
• Lost Horizon by James Hilton Spoiler:

New Pebble watch uses e-paper...in colour! |
09:02 AM by bluefan in E-Book General | News https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...es/description Can't find any technical info on the screen, other than having a 64-colour display and can be back lit. Refresh rate looks pretty fast as well. I'm excited because I've been looking to replace my old watch but don't feel the old Pebble and current smart watches cut it. Also excited this might be the the product that might thrust colour e-paper out from whatever dark hole it's currently in. |

Guideline update: Firmware links |
05:03 AM by Alexander Turcic in Miscellaneous | Announcements Occasionally users may post download links that don't point to the official vendor website. The firmware could be unofficial or custom-made. For example, if you are familiar with Android, you probably heard of the CyanogenMod distribution, which is a popular community firmware based on Google Android along with plentiful gee-whiz custom code. One issue with unofficial firmware is that it may contain proprietary software not licensed for free distribution. Another issue is that installing such a firmware would likely void the warranty of your device. Our take on this onwards is that you can link to firmware downloads, but you should be aware of potential licensing issues. We are not responsible for the content on any linked websites which are not under our control, nor should the inclusion of an external link be understood as an endorsement of that site. Last but not least remember that applying or using an unofficial firmware could void your warranty, brick your device or cause unintended head turns at your next high-school reunion, so proceed with caution. |
