Kobo Aura review

About 6 months ago, I was given a Kobo Aura as a gift. It replaced the Nook Simple Touch that I had bought refurbished several years ago. Now that I've had the Kobo Aura for a while, I thought it would be a good time to write a review of it. This isn't primarily a comparison with the Kindle Paperwhite, but being that the Paperwhite is the defacto standard for eReaders these days, a couple notes: The specs of the Kobo Aura and the 2014 Kindle...

Kobo Aura : mon avis

Il y a environ six mois, on m'a donné un Kobo Aura comme cadeau. Ça a remplacé le Nook Simple Touch que je l'avais acheté il y a plusieurs années. Maintenant que j'ai le Kobo Aura pour un certain temps, je pensais que ce serait un bon moment pour écrire mon avis.

This goes without saying, but you won't get an OTA update unless you're running one of the stock/retail ROMs. Your phone has been rooted or otherwise customized (custom boot logo, custom recovery, etc). This isn't a strict requirement, but it's probably...

Using Exchange without Outlook

There are some good alternatives to Microsoft Exchange, for instance Zimbra. If your experience is like mine, however, most places use Exchange. Up until now, there haven't been many good options for using Exchange without Outlook. Support for Exchange calendar integration in particular has been lacking. But now there's a great option for using Exchange without Outlook, and you can set it up in less than 15 minutes: Install Thunderbird In...
