A readable starting point on E-reader in Jakarta
en.wikipedia.org
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 10 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
I started this because my rainy evening felt a little stuck, and gear seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

What would you change if you started over? I would love to see a follow-up after 3 weeks.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink reader. The cozy part is easy to underestimate.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. I keep a note about gear for exactly this reason.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

This made me smile more than expected. The beautiful constraint is probably the real story. Naming things remains undefeated as the hardest problem.
