AD doesn't stand for "After Death"...

This did not go well. There are no more steps.

So, as I understand it, e-ink screens are all made by the same company and sold to the various ereader companies. As such, they are basically comparable. At least this was the case two years ago when I was looking into it.

Yeah...I did a lot a research before landing on Boox, and it 100% is the best. Pricey tho.

They're dead. I called their next of kin. My dad. Now I have two black eyes. What next?

OK. Now mom has a black eye too. What next?

If its earwax, use hydrogen peroxide on a small swab or wipe. Itll take it right off.

For other gunk: vinegar, dawn soap, lemon juice (depending on what the cause is)

Down side of this: now every large item you have uses twice as much storage space. (Yes I know some boxes can be russian-dolled.)

Go to a bar or liquor store and ask for boxes. It helps if you go in thursday and say you can pick them up sunday.

A bar I managed threw out probably 50-60 heavy duty cardboard boxes every weekend. Breaking them down was a pain. Id happily save them for anyone who wanted em.

What's a dishwasher?

Did this for my dad a year ago, got him a Boox and set up calibre. Between libraries and drm free sources Ive got him almost completely off of amazon.

Does anyone have any experience with doing this? It's not for myself, but for someone who isn't tech inclined. I want to set him up with FOSS to avoid future shitification by azn. I know I need to strip drm, and then convert out of amz formats, but really have no idea how to do this. Any help would be appreciated! -j
