Boox Palma!

I very much love to use her to read manga and comics! it fits amazingly in my hand and I get less distracted reading on there compared to my phone, I read from chapter 1 of JJK to 110 in about 2 weeks to catch up! I do recommend it if you do get distracted on your phone easily and need a lil change! ➰💕

📚Kobo Libra 2 E-reader 📚

I was so anti with e-readers for the longest time. I had a Nook as a teenager and it was clunky, heavy, and locked into the B&N marketplace. I also hated the idea of not having a physical book. That has all changed with my Kobo Libra 2. The highlights for me, in short: 1) Slim + lightweight. I can fit this baby in basically any bag, including a tiny shoulder bag 2) Holds THOUSANDS of books....literally thousands. Also audiobooks! 3) I can purchase books directly from kobo, but you can also buy them from any other retail chain (not amazon tho, their file structure is different). As long as its an ePub your Kobo can read it...even if its not from reputable businesses 😉 4)BIG SAVINGS!! 💰Stuff goes on sale all the time, I have price alerts set thru a website and gets tons of books for cheap. Kobo will match prices of other retailers and give you store credit for the difference. 5) Battery lasts for a week or more, without needing a charge 6)Links to your overdrive if you want to check out books from your local library! 7) Space saver. I take my kobo with me on every vacation, in my commute etc. Where I go, she goes. I still love, use, and travel with physical books. So, to those who, like me, were afraid of not having real paper in front of them, trust, you will adjust. The e-ink screen is actually of great quality. And I still have a huge library of paper books at home! Rumors are swirling that the Libra 3 is dropping in Spring! Get into it!

Pi.FYI Style Guide

Alright y'all, standards have gotten a little lax around here and rec quality has taken a dip (I'm including myself in this). Here are some pointers for High Rec Standards. ANATOMY OF A REC: TITLE—This is the rec or recommendations. This is NOT a lead in. Type exactly what you're recommending here. What appears in the Title should finish this sentence, "I recommend _____." BODY—This supports the rec and anything goes. Supporting statements, supporting essays, additional recs, you can get silly, you can pontificate. You can do anything you want. Except putting the main rec down here. Where does it go? That's right. In the Title 👆 IMAGE—No rules. Add one to preference. It can be relevant or a non sequitur. LINK—I highly recommend links but it's not as important as the Title or Body. If you are recommending something that has an online presence (music, movies, websites, products, etc.), Piffies want to click on it immediately. Don't make us google. Be kind a leave a link. EMOJI—No rules. Express yourself. ANTI-RECS: They exist and they are valid recs. "Anti-Rec: _____" clearly communicates this is something best avoided. But a better way format this type of Rec is to use a modifier or verb that flows with "I recommend _____." Ex. I recommend... Not Eating Tacks, Avoiding Area X, Leaving Off the Anchovies, etc.—(Formatting Anti-Recs this way first recommended by tyler the Creator) ANATOMY OF AN ASK: TITLE—This is the question or topic of the Ask. Asks can solicit advice or start a discussion. You have some flexibility here because the Ask is expected to be expounded upon in the body if it needs more context. Just be clear. Again, this is not a lead in. Be direct and ask the question or state the topic. BODY—Provide more context. Narrow the recommendation field. Add relevant links. Remember, the Ask goes in the Title 👆 EMOJI—No rules. Express yourself. ANSWERING AN ASK—Recs on Asks can break style as dictated by the Ask. If the Ask is looking for Recs, give Recs following style. If it's asking for opinions, give your opinion. Asking for links? Give links! Respond however you would respond some someone IRL. Asks start a conversation so you can be more conversational. But keep in mind that these Recs will appear in the main feed. So where you can maintain Rec style, do so. Example: WHAT’S YOUR CURRENT LETTERBOXD TOP 4? A response to this with High Rec Standards would look something like this: TITLE—Lists your current Letterboxd top 4. You are recommending these four movies. BODY—Free reign here. Drop your Letterboxd @. Talk about the movies. Make a quip. Emoji. Relevant links. Nothing. IMAGE—Optional. Screenshot of your top four. Frame from a movie. Dealer's choice. LINK—Add your Letterboxd profile only if you want to be found. EMOJI—Whatever. But it'd be nice if it was relevant. DISCLAIMER: This is a living community document! These are only my recommendations for a foundation. Debate and Discussion of proper style are Encouraged. Any editions and changes to the PI.FYI STYLE GUIDE will be notated with attribution. Changelog: 07.26.2024—Clarified a Rec is not limited to one recommendation. Recs can recommend multiple things. Thanks to shegoestoanotherschool for identifying the issue. / Added guidance for Anti-Rec format. 02.11.2025—Moved SpongeBob Bubble Blowing Technique video link from the top level into the body ("some pointers") so the embed wouldn't override the High Quality instructional graphic.
