Serpentza also mentions this in his latest video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlxUZmXuKVw
but now MisterTao is closing their doors... does that mean that US was its biggest importer?
we don't know what these new regulations are yet
but it must be pretty big if it makes a taobao agent shut down entirely
Wait, who's side are these new regulations on?
Fuck, is chink shit going to become illegal imports now?
@Austin sorry at the dmv. I honestly don't remember how mine turned out, I think it was decent. We all got head started with the blocks being pre cut to show the profile of the gnome.
what chink e-reader do you know of
I've got some epubs I'd like to read
Oh okay
Which is the best way for beginners. Rather than Widdling from scratch.
Yeah, I'm watching a video right now where one describes how he's cutting a basic wooden owl
Looks kind of cool
You get a printout or something to trace on, then cut out a general shape and work from there.
@kennethlujan how about a refurbished nook/kindle from eBay
I was gonna suggest one of these, but the price went up because reasons. I think a /g/ thread increased demand. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Reader-Pocket-Silver-PRS-300SC/dp/B002MSNS4S
I have one
This bid ends in four hours. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Sony-EReader-PRS-300-digital-book-reader-used-and-tested-/122407157849?nav=SEARCH
This is better and cheaper, but it doesn't charge, so you better be smart enough to fix it. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Sony-reader-prs-600-/222447570166?_trkparms=aid%253D222007%2526algo%253DSIC.MBE%2526ao%253D1%2526asc%253D20150519202348%2526meid%253D1de9766cf7d44c97b7a2efe6ca0f36ca%2526pid%253D100408%2526rk%253D6%2526rkt%253D25%2526sd%253D122407157849&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460
why do you like the sony
Because they're resold really cheap.
And they're perfect for epubs.
Bhiner?
Taobao Agent
So far MisterTao is the only one actually shutting down because of these regulations***
it's still unknown what these regulations actually are or mean
Maybe they were doing illegal stuff, who knows
Maybe
@0utsider Cuz I already have a kindle as a gift.
But they specifically mention that it's due to new Chinese government policies on international trade
Superbuy, Basetao, Taobaoring all still doing business as usual
Could it be possible MisterTao is shutting down for some other reason and saving face?
Also possible
possibly
yeah
That's why we need to know more
Someone message them asking what legislation?
Mr Tao?
