Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I am too lazy to use multiple devices and just read on my phone (or, very very occasionally, the in-browser Kindle reader).

I move around from room to room with five different devices, a hardcover, and magazines. It's a good thing I have a little helper in the form of ltc.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I have both the Kindle app and the Nook app on my iPad, as well as Hoopla and Libby for borrowing ebooks.

Our wings are not tired.

I like using Hoopla for audiobooks because it is easy to use in my car.

Love the Kindle Paperwhite. My only wish is that it was easier to (or, indeed, realistically possible to legally) get UK editions of books where I know they've Americanized the text.

My paperbacks take up a lot of space and I can't read them in the dark.

I love my Kindle Paperwhite. I've got one setting for when I'm wearing glasses and another for bedtime with a much larger font and an appropriate background.

Thrive to spite them

Mom just had the worst phone call from Hospice. The woman was completely unhelpful and multiple times called my aunt "your mom" instead of your sister. The person from the hospital and the other person from hospice all indicated that Aunt W was eligible to go to in patient hospice because of how bad the situation is.

But this woman...she chuckled ...at the "misunderstanding" and said that couldn't happen because in patient isn't where someone goes to live. And would ask where the family thought my aunt would go after...um. the funeral home. She kept saying there was criteria but never said what the criteri was. And at one point mentioned that yes an assessment had been done on my aunt....she had done it. And then made no recommendations and when mom asked what should she do the lady kept saying "the family decides" and then got frustrated when mom said she didn't feel she had enough information.

I am so pissed. Mom had the phone on speaker and I wanted to jump in and say " we need to know what your recommendation is and what the criteria are for in patient and if you can't give us that info then we need to talk to someone else."

I'll be here tomorrow and I'm not leaving until she talks to the case manager at the hospital and I want to know if they have any records of a hospice assessment.

Mom does not need to deal with this.

I have no recs for Kindle. I use the app on my phone.

Libby is great for delivering books right to kindle.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, that's shitty, askye.

My favorite Library Books on the Kindle not-a-feature is that if you turn on airplane mode, the books don't autoreturn, so you can get some extra time to finish.
