Though sadly the new types of Kinds require a method of extracting Kindles to PDF which is an order of magnitude harder than the old Calibre DeDRM method. I had to boot Bluestacks and export license files and rub my tummy and pat my head and do the Hokey Pokey… but in the end, the books are now 100% mine.

Edit: It’s been a while. Looks like the process is more streamlined, but still not what it used to be.


I’ve had a pair of Nook Simple Touch for over ten years and they are wonderful for PDFs. Stored 100% offline. Good for prepper books.

What are “Anna’s”?


I honestly had no idea they’re so libertarian-capitalist. I figured it was government-led, government-run.

Could someone please explain the minute hand? It says it’s Nine : Twenty-nine but the minute hand is pointing at the word Twelve.

Arrange all sixty minutes alphabetically around the clock. Same for seconds. Twenty-nine is near the end of the alphabet.

The labels only relevant to the hours. For some reason the hour labels don’t align well to where the hour hand is.


THAT explains it, thank you.

I tweaked the labels when I was working on the combined mode, where I figured they make more sense as indicative of the general, combined alphabetical area. I hadn't considered they'd be confusing in the 3-hand mode. I've split the positioning of them between the two now. Appreciate the feedback! It does make it _less_ accursèd now, which I feel could be either an improvement or a regression. I leave it to weigh on your consciences.

I think the labels are pointlessly confusing.

I mean to be fair the entire thing is pointlessly confusing.

Maybe, but the labels and hour markers that contradict the meaning of the hand positions is just perverse :-)

I have changed it now (see another comment above.) But now it is less accursèd! Ah well.

Hmm. I wonder what it would look like if you added the corresponding "minute" labels (eight, five, four, etc) at the appropriate places. It might make it at least a little feasible to read the time!

Yeah, might add this as a toggle. Seems to be the bit that people ask about.

Ah crap I screwed up and didn’t put the URL in the title. My first submission, cut me some slack :-)
