What I Just Finished Reading

Nothing. Still in a reading slump as far as books are concerned. I have read some fanfic.

What I'm Reading Now

I started reading A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher.

Only yesterday my PocketBook e-reader decided to brick itself as something went wrong during a sync with Calibre (I wanted to transfer a Cat Sebastian romance that I had bought), and it now freezes during boot. I think its internal disk has become corrupted somehow. At least my books are all backed up.

I wrote to support, because when something similar happened with my previous PocketBook they walked me through some kind of clean firmware reinstall via microSD card to reformat the corrupted internal memory or something, but today support only responded with the useless idiot first steps in their script, i.e. the "have you tried the reset button while connecting the device to a power source" kind of turning on/off thing, that I had already tried in various permutations, only some of which I mentioned in my initial mail, but that were all useless. I haven't heard back anything yet to my reply, in which I hinted that with a different model this microSD boot and reinstall helped, and could they tell me the right steps for this model. I really hope it's not permanently broken.

What I'm Reading Next

No idea. Hopefully something on my then restored e-reader. Though I do have a smaller paper TBR pile too that I could tackle.
