Ok. I'm looking for an #eink #ebook reader that is literally a file system with an ebook reader. That's it. That's all I need. I can side load from #Calibre, it does NOT need internet connectivity, bluetooth etc.
Put book in, load it, read it, enjoy. Any #recommendations?

My son's getting into Blender (https://www.blender.org), Other than just looking on YouTube, are there any tutorials or courses which are worth checking out?
He's 13 years old, if that makes a difference 😀
Good news, everyone!
Since I'm not teaching a #clown class tonight, I'll be able to open our virtual #circus gym early!
As we do on Friday, we'll be in the chat at 7pm UTC-5 for what the regulars recently dubbed the "Emperor Norton coffee hour"
Grab a beverage and come say hello!
Our usual training session will start at 8pm, and will run until the wee hours for all your watching clowns do silly human things needs.

I recommend Another Pond as a good place to start; if you like Brian Eno and/or This Mortal Coil, you might also like it.
