@BobWulff It’s making getting a pony instead of a games console look like a more affordable option

@CeliaBeee Moment of zen

[Dean Simons @dsimons_123]

I can’t tell if this was because of censorship or enshitification by @AmazonKindle post-@Comixology app closure. The cover was “removed” until you open the file. It is The Muse, by Zidrou & Oriol (Europe Comics). Curiously the cover does show up when you find the Amazon listing

[Dean Simons @dsimons_123]

@CTropes Did he write the reply with AI too?

[Dean Simons @dsimons_123]

Coordinated this list.

All the books can be enjoyed by both kids and adults. It’s also a chance to let certain books shine that might otherwise be overshadowed by other releases in the main list.

Do check them out. They’re great.

@CeliaBeee Going by this logic, does walking off a cliff count as a “voluntary life transition”? 🤔

[Dean Simons @dsimons_123]

@pipelinecomics Ah dang it.

@JamilaRowser just spotted Wash Day Diaries while browsing the comics section of a bookstore in France

We are years into the forced error of shoveling entire @Comixology libraries into @amazon Kindle.

Before that, the @AmazonKindle app was barely serviceable with regular ebooks.

Now it is just pure luck with no guarantees you can enjoy reading anything on all your devices

[Dean Simons @dsimons_123]

It’s been a while but once more the @AmazonKindle app is defective…on my iphone. I had for a while avoided downloading or reading comics which kept it running okish. Then I did. It became unusable so I deleted and reinstalled the app. Now it runs at a crawl with regular ebooks
