I set it to black myself because I use dark mode. I use black page color on all my apps and it's supposed to turn the text to white.

Thank you Lizzie I wanted to share with you coz you're the one I'd been whining to before and you were so sweet and supportive always

And a big congratulations on your own 10k pages!!! Woohoo! you like, ran over the books like a bulldozer

Looking at the counts now, I think I managed to do quite well 🙈 I know I'm never gonna be bulldozing like some of you guys but it's so much better than what I'd expected of myself

And I'm also very happy that I'm with you again thank you for keeping me in!

I'll try to contribute as much as I can it's just that I have exams coming up next month, so a lot of my time now is gonna go to studying and revising 😅

But since my speed has increased a lot recently, I'm hoping that I can still keep it up 🙈

And thank you! Yeah I’m proud of the 10K pages, I didn’t think I could get there but I managed it. It’s been two back to back months of marathoning books for me - now the burn out is hitting hard!

Arey yaar, my apps are always up to date, let me show you what this book looks like when I open it on Kindle (mind you, if I open it on another reading app it's fine), and some other books are fine when I open on Kindle, so idk what the issue is, maybe its because I didnt buy them directly from Amazon and downloaded them from the internet? I'm not really bothered about it though, i'm happy reading on my Books app, it's much better.

This is strange! I usually use the sepia mode while reading ebooks so it feels more like actual book pages, but I just checked some of them in dark mode as well and they showed up fine in the Kindle app. But yeah, like I said I don't use that app for my non-amazon books, unke liye I stick to Pocketbook or Readera. So maybe it really only works properly for amazon bought books. Idk 🤷‍♀️

It's strange though, coz so many ppl I know love to read on their kindle apps...

Before you ask me to increase the brightness, let me tell you, brightness is on full.

I wasn't gonna ask that one thing that I maybe would have asked is if you've tried keeping the app in light mode and the book in dark page. Or both in dark. Just to see if something is clashing there. But when I checked on my own app, it doesn't matter whether I keep the app in light or dark mode. The books show up fine in dark page anyway. So ig it doesn't matter, it's a glitch

of course, i mean - no pressure at all. This challenge should be fun and not stressful.

That's okay, maybe you can slow down for a bit and wait to regain your stamina? You've sure spent a lot of it in these 2 months of marathoning

Remember your own words apply to you as well, the challenge should be fun and not stressful!

Yeah because not all books are like this, some books are completely normal. So idk what the issue is.
