      Anybody use the Simba for overseas autoroaming before? Yesterday I walked in to chk and there was this staff (not counter) told me top up before fly off. Once there, turn on the autoroam then on the flight mode …wait abt 5mins then turn off the flight mode…then can use already. Charges is $4/GB. So if need to monitor how much used/bal then install Simba app…once see the bal low can just do the normal top up. This is going to be our first using Simba…I feel like going there again to confirm with counter staff. Last evening wanted to do that but thought it was a bit ‘rude’ to chk again in front of that guy.

        Dd2 broke her Kobo just after a few mths we bought it. Now she revert to reading fm Kindle and her tablet. I will just skip the Kobo replacement as of now.
        How did she break it? I've used Kobos for many years (I'm on my 3rd or 4th now) and haven't broken one yet!

          Haiz she dropped it on the floor..maybe just happened to hit a weak point so many lines/cracks on the screen. I bought it during covid right..less than 6 mths I remember.

            Books: DS received a boxed set of the Maze Runner series (by James Dashner) from our friends last Xmas and he loved reading it. He’s asked me to borrow more books by this author from NLB and i’ve downloaded them into his Kobo for his post-exam reading.[/quote]
            I spent a lot of time yesterday and today looking at books online! And roped in a daughter to make more suggestions. Just placed my orders with Opentrolley and Amazon for my Christmas presents for 14 youngsters aged 2-17 yrs! Got to make sure they arrive, then can put them aside till it's time to wrap them.

                Congratulations to you!

                The situations you indicated are external..am referring to internal.

                We may have a wish coming true, maybe next year? Not sure tho but caught some 'wind'..continue to be hopeful 🙏
                What is the meaning of \"wind\"?

                  If it weren't for tradition and habit, I wouldn't wrap them! Wastes paper and time. But we have always wrapped presents to give the kids at family gatherings, so we continue to do that. At some point, I will start giving red packets instead (most of my sisters-in-law do already), but I do like looking at books and it's my way of introducing different books to a largely non-book-reading bunch. I'm known to be the only one who gives books, the one who only gives books! Although this time I have bought some card games for the primary school kids. I don't bother to wrap presents for my kids any more, but I do try to put some small items in their stockings - they still like having stockings even in their 20s! From now till 24 Dec, I'll be on the lookout for small items for the stockings. And if all else fails, they'll get a choc bar, hand cream, socks, hair ties...

                    I’ve dropped my Kobo and Kindle several times but they are quite hardy. The back tends to be heavier so it will land on the back rather than the front screen. Maybe she just happened to be unlucky landed on the screen side. The newer ones have a padded cover accessory u can buy? Like ipad cover to protect it.

                        At that time i haven't got her the kobo case cover yet. Kindle, hp dropped many times also ok. Really that kobo just had an unlucky drop.
