64gb can fit around 700 hi res flacs if we assume an average length of 4min. That’s more than 40 hours of music before you’d be repeating. I don’t have this device but I have 128gb storage and I only have 1k songs I love so it’s not even full.
The purpose for most people is just to use the phone less, not replace it entirely.
I went back to my mp3 player for music because I found that when I was streaming music I would start skipping tracks all the time and basically just listen to the same few songs even though I could have listened to literally anything, which is apparently a quite common thing called choice paralysis.
Plus while I was skipping tracks, I would also start reading the notifications on my phone, and then I would start answering the notifications and basically just use my phone when it wasn’t necessary.
Now I have a smaller selection of songs I really like and I don’t skip around on my mp3 player and I also have no incentive to use my phone while listening to music.
I’d really like to get this car but most people have told me it’s too risky for me, anyone else has any input?
I can’t load at home or work, but I could load at a station accessible by foot a few minutes from my house, as well as once a week when I go shopping for about 30-45 minutes.
I only have to drive twice a week, 90km per day two days in a row, with no opportunity to load in between, but I could load the day before and the day after.
People have told me it’s too risky especially in winter I might not make it on that distance.
That’s really nice news
Wasn’t there on cinnamon when I checked 5 days ago
Interesting, what brand and how many hours per day do you read?
I thought I would use it to read Wikipedia pages but it turns out I only really read Wikipedia when I am encountering a link on my phone or PC and while I have it set up to sync links I save to the reader, since I want to read the thing right away I’m not gonna bother switching devices. Same with articles, I never find myself switching devices to read one. Maybe it would be different if I had a daily newsletter I’d read on it but I don’t use those, while I could use the ones from my library they are always lent out at the times I’d read them.
As for writing, my device is a standard 6 inch one which I’d find too small to write on, as I already own a laptop as well which is simply more ergonomic for writing. I also tried reading manga on it for which android has some great apps, but turns out I don’t enjoy manga as a medium at all.
I do love the ereader for actually reading books, it’s so comfortable but that’s the one feature I could have on any generic one. And like I said, I use it for about 2-3 hours a day and I find myself charging it once a week.
I have an android based ereader and honestly I would buy a cheaper non android one if I had to replace it. I never really use any app besides the reader app and the battery only lasts a few days max. Non android ones last way longer because they have no stuff running in the background. Edit: not a kindle though I’m comparing it to a Tolino / kobo
Also having to open this device to replace the SD card is a bit off putting. I understand that you also have to open a traditional iPod to replace the storage, but this is neither apple nor the early 2000s. My mp3 player has an easily accessible SD card slot on the side and I don’t see why this device could not have one either.
