May it never be modernised

It's so fast, and it loads quite well on my Kobo eReader and in CLI.

Kobo eReader is any good? I'm looking for a eReader.

I'll second the Kobo. I moved over to them after owning several Barnes & Noble's Nook e-readers and couldn't be happier. I have purchased several for others as gifts (which is better than just a recommendation!). I can check ebooks out of the local library with the integrated Overdrive (functional and free, limited catalog), occasionally buy books from the Kobo store (convenience), but often purchase DRM free epubs (Baen Books being a favorite for Sci-fi/Fantasy) and sideload them.

I love mine and use one every day (and have for years now).

I love mine, it's mostly opened up so you can sideload almost whatever you want (EPUB , CBR/CBZ, PDF although not great, and even Kiwix ZIM files) and there is a great modding community on mobileread.

I found the integration with Pocket (read-it later kind of servixe) to be quite useful, as I can read web articles at my own pace, without any distractions on a paper-like display without requiring Internet access.

Is there a reason why HN is orange?

The devs implemented a halloween theme just before losing their SSH key for the production server about 10 years ago.

You can choose your preferred colour in your settings. Mine is #abdcef pale blue.

@dang it would be awesome if this also translated to the icon and favicon :| I know, I know, it would be crazy.

It's the Y Combinator corporate colour

True, but that's not the reason. The reason (for both) is that pg likes orange.

What if... The colour could reflect the time of day and the of the year? Thus over time we could say that the purple time is coming which means it's the fun part of the year!

You can do that yourself once you can set your top color, which happens at a certain level of karma. I think it's 250.

Wow! More fun stuff opens up as you earn more Karma? Had anyone reached the end level?
