I am wondering whether a tablet or an ebook reader is better nowadays for book reading.
Where will I use it?
In the train, home, at the gym while doing my Low intensity cardio

2017-12-09 12:32:42 UTC  

so, what kind of device should I look for?

2017-12-09 12:33:53 UTC  

audiobooks fam

2017-12-09 12:33:57 UTC  

why not do audiobooks at the gym in the first place

2017-12-09 12:34:25 UTC

First bought an ipad cable later i got the micro usb cables. I guess braided is a meme but i'll probably if i need replacement i will still buy the aluminum tips.

2017-12-09 13:10:38 UTC  

the packaging is surprisingly nice, even the ipad cable came in a little nice box... cant say the same when i go to walmart or walgreens here in burgerland

2017-12-09 13:19:45 UTC  

did they sent it in a funny green package too

2017-12-09 13:20:02 UTC  

+ gave you cable velcros as a gift

2017-12-09 13:21:04 UTC  

yes

2017-12-09 13:21:09 UTC  

and velcros too

2017-12-09 13:23:20 UTC  

doe i wished that they sent me 2 velcros as i paid for 2 cables. oh well, they were cheap and are built quite nice.

2017-12-09 13:23:51 UTC  

Would heat shrink tubing help them last longer? For some reason mine always revert to slow charging after a couple months use.

2017-12-09 13:27:27 UTC  

really? do they revert to normal charging after a couple of months? that's weird

2017-12-09 13:28:28 UTC  

in a way i guess but i also think the braid keeps them rigid so there is that. Also the aluminum tip should dissipate heat so there is that

2017-12-09 13:32:07 UTC  

can you send a link where you bought them from?

2017-12-09 13:34:49 UTC  

yes

btw this is the shitty OEM cable it is replacing so

2017-12-09 13:41:51 UTC  

i have to mention the braid might get a little loose at the tip connecting to the device (hence why i mentioned it might be a meme). already happened with the apple ugreen cable but other than that i am not overly concerned about structural failure at the tips, since they are from aluminium (will have to go thorough quite some cyles before failure as compared to plastic, and it also acts as a heatsink.) Also the braid does provide ridigity to the cable so its harder to damage by bending

2017-12-09 13:44:05 UTC  

The apple cable i have used it for 2 months so there is that under heavy duty conditions*

2017-12-09 13:47:58 UTC  

the cable reverting to slow charging after some time sounds really weird though
