The Hypermarket in Brackenfell had some a few months ago. Would have to go check if they have new stock. They definitely have LOADS of those covers left. I think it is about R50 per cover.

I assume you can load anything onto the Kobo with the likes of Calibre and such?

Where in the shop do you find these?

Norwood only had covers for the mini.

Just drag and drop no software needed.

Going to head to my local Hypermarket after work

Hopefully they too have the specials

Oh okay Lekker.


But it being wireless would probably want to use the Calibre Web Server.

Still either way no drama.

 

[SauRoNZA]

Guessing that would be the Touch 1 and not the Touch 2.0?

Are there any i7 notebooks available for R10 k

I got banned for protesting the banning of a guy over a hdd sale. At least I learnt that a simple check on a hdd is not enough. You must use proper hdd tools to check the health of a disk. No wonder my first purchased drive on carb was so cheap. With my newfound knowledge I checked it and health was not 100%.

In fact they should post a sticky to new buyers of hdd as a value add.

What tools do you use to check HDD health?

 

[Saba'a]

I use hard disk sentinel but there are a number of other tools eg seagate.

So I went to the PnP Hyper in PE and asked the sole assistant in the electronics department if they carried stock of the Kobo E Touch e-book reader.

I got a vacant stare.

I asked if they have any tablets.

"No sir, but we have this GPS with a touch screen" *points to TomTom in display case*

I'll take that as a no

Yep they stopped Kobo a while ago unless selling it again. Think its now CNA.
