You can connect Bluetooth audio devices to a Kobo reader and play back audiobooks. With this round of updates, Kobo has matched them. Though I never, ever use them, Amazon added audiobook support for Kindles a while back. (And they’re all waterproof, of course, because you may want to read at the pool or in the bath.) They’ve got faster processors, which makes a noticeable difference in terms of reducing lag when you turn pages, especially if you need to quickly flip back several pages. They’ve got the latest E Ink screens, which look great. Advances in e-reader tech USB-C, ahoy!Īll of these devices have adopted more advanced technology than previous e-readers. (So many books!) Here’s my complete review. I’ve read books on all three over the last few weeks. They’re more different than you might think. And from the big dog, Amazon, comes the 11th-generation Kindle Paperwhite. From upstart challenger Rakuten Kobo come the Kobo Sage and the Kobo Libra 2.

The comedian magician this cruise was Nick Lewin, which was rather funny as he was the comedian magician on the Celebrity Millennium cruise through the Panama Canal and he had the exact same act, which was still fun to watch. I loved watching the earlier showing of Second City, then stuck around for the late night adult show, which just became an obnoxious experience as it was filled with an inebriated audience who just kept yelling cock and masturbate to everything which the improv actors handled well enough. If you pay for anything on this cruise go see the Cirque Jungle Fantasy performance as it is at times jaw droppingly amazing - the food not the greatest though, but the show more than made up for it. I'll keep this part short and basic though, Rock of Ages was pretty good, it took me a little while to get in to, but walked out enjoying myself, but this is certainly not for children. ![]() Half the fun for me is capturing some of the amazing moves of the performers to include here on this blog, but I digress.

To demonstrate many of the concepts the book introduces, Eisner provides a ten-page adaptation of the " To be, or not to be." soliloquy from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

An improved, repeater version with a tubular magazine was introduced in 1884 and called the 71/84. It featured a wing safety and the bolt locked up with the receiver bridge. The first successful Mauser rifle was the Model 1871, a single-shot bolt-action chambered in a metallic-case 11.15×60 mm R blackpowder cartridge. If you include civilian sporter-style Mausers too, hunters have used and loved them on every continent for just as long, including through today.

Mauser’s first rifle designs emerged in the days of black powder cartridges and evolved as spire point bullets and smokeless powder came into use. Paul Mauser revolutionized combat rifle technology in the late 19th century by producing what would become the most storied family of bolt-action rifles ever made. Usually, it takes time, revision, testing, and incremental changes before they can be fully realized, and that is exactly how the story of the Karabiner 98k plays out.
