@tomasino I got one of those too, a few months ago. I have a sizable collection of DRM-free epubs already. Sideloading took a little noodling out: getting files onto the device was strictly drag and drop as advertised, but there were a couple few little tricks to getting them to display and behave properly. Fortunately, between the kobo forums and subreddit, I was able to search up answers that were already out there. Now that I know the drill, it's not a complicated process, and reading on e-ink (especially without having to connect to Amazon) is delightful!

I'm going with my family this evening to a performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony at the opera house, and I'm already dressed for the evening in a suit and bow tie. But my kids are still 15 and 13, so I'm in this get-up at the moment in the drive-thru line at Culver's in Skokie
