Ages ago when we were closing down our coworking space, my friend gave me his old Kindle Keyboard. It wasn't charging. I wanted it as a display piece.

It's been on a shelf for all this time with the “Your battery is dead" screen. So I decided to see if I could bring it back to life just so it'd be a living display piece.

The old battery was... oof.
A little poking and opening it back up and boom! new battery works. Hello there Mr. Elison

Tomorrow morning I'm running off to escape to island/beach life for one week.

With the vague idea of:

🏖️ Taking time to rest
🏖️ Reading books (I've been sadly lacking in my reading time lately) on my #Kindle
🏖️ Spending some lazy days with a little #travel
🏖️ Maybe write a lil
🏖️ Of course, #SteamDeck and #NintendoSwitch time also

Here's some of my fav #art by one of my fav artists, because I adore pirates. Bobby Kehl does #digitalart which makes me feel like a pirate-girl.

Sometimes you have to wonder whether the Gruaniad are being paid for these advertorials 🤣

Just joking folks, of course they are. That is why they won't tell you about the way that Amazon will control the hardware and the books you have leased (not bought) from them. Then they will screw you ro0yally.

Stay sensible, better hardware better software, available elsewhere.
