Writer/podcaster; fan of books, podcasts, hockey, baseball, curling & movies. Regional Traffic Manager for a large Canadian media group. Views & opinions are my own.
I was also diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 35, in 2019. Sometimes I talk about that.
Usually word of mouth - but that can be either from people I know (friends, fellow online people), or sometimes it might be buzz from the media. Usually that’s in the form of CBC’s Canada Reads. I don’t often pick things up based on retailer suggestions.
I use a Kobo Clara HD. There’s a newer version available (it’s a Clara model, can’t recall the exact name) but the Clara HD does the job well. Of the reviews I’ve read, if you own a Clara HD, upgrading to the newest model may not be worth it for you.
I also use my iPad Air + Google Books, and the Kindle app, for things that are either on those accounts or don’t play nice with the Clara HD. For example, PDF advance reader copies do not work very well on the Kobo, and converting them with Calibre doesn’t always work either.
An Internet … problem
Yeah, that’s 100% it. On the Internet in 2023, everyone needs to be right or win with their comment. It’s off-putting when you’ve been on the Internet longer than Gen Z has been alive.
Well, I tried introducing myself via kbin and I was going to reply to that introduction since I have now been accepted to beehaw…but I can’t find that reply in this thread. So I’ll write again!
I work in media (behind the scenes…but I also have a few podcasts on the go and I blog), I have epilepsy, and I like to talk about all sorts of subjects. I’m doing a poor job summarizing myself so I’ll just copy/paste from my Mastodon page (with some redactions):

I was also diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 35 (4 years ago, now). Sometimes I talk about that.
Thanks! :)
