What can you recommend for minimizing pores?

I know you can’t get rid of pores but I’m wondering is there anyway to make them smaller? I use La Roche Posay products. They keep my acne mostly at bay but I feel like my pores are just so large. Part of it is genetic, but just wondering if there’s anything else I can do at home to help. Thanks!

 This is the Glow Light on 100%. So traditionally what you have to do to change the Glow Light, oh look, Pete, or on Pete's instruction is tap the middle, see the little sunshine logo right there, click that and then adjust it like so. Now Kobo has introduced a new feature where you can slide the side bar, think of it as one of those scrolly things on your documents on your computer and it adjusts the brightness from there. So now as you're reading it with both your hands, you go do do do, oh too bright and you just lower it more, less, more, less

 Alright so that is maxed out. You can really tell from the O's how good this resolution is. Any curved letters because they don't look pixelated, they look very smooth. Yeah the 300 ppi really makes a difference here and don't forget this e-reader is the same resolution as the Kindle Voyage so it's the best in the business right now

Yeah the 300 ppi really makes a difference here and don't forget this e-reader is the same resolution as the Kindle Voyage so it's the best in the business right now. So we're going to go through the ranges here and Kobo has a percentage reader so you actually know what percentage you're at so that's about 70, roughly 50, 1615 and it starts to get a little bit unreadable in complete darkness. Of course everyone's rooms will be different whether you have light escaping from underneath your door or the curtains open a crack from the city lights

Kobo Glo HD Glowlight Review

Awesome e-reader but the charging port sucks.

 So perhaps that's the reason why. But I think it comes down to it that not having an SD card is just cheaper. And you look at the specs this is the exact same e-reader as the Voyage but it's significantly cheaper. I agree that it is cheaper not to have all those things like SD cards and audio jacks and speakers

 This is $129 Canadian and the conversion is about 25 percent right now meaning this is literally half the price of a Voyage and you get the same kind of specs. So this is an amazing bargain because if they're using this to compete with the Voyage and it's half the price it goes without saying that this is a tremendous deal. This e-reader comes out in Canada starts shipping on April 28th 2015. It's going to be available in retail locations such as Chapters Indigo on May the 1st

 And this is literally half the price. The Kindle Voyage is $200 USD.

Kobo Glo HD Hands on Review

Nook is kinda odd because it's just weirdly clunky for whatever reason. My Libra H2O is incredibly snappy between pages -- I barely even notice the page turning. My Glo (2012) on the other hand is kind of slow. Can't speak for whatever Kindle does.

What is your budget? If you're in the $100 (USD) range then the Kobo Clara HD refurbished goes for $90 and contains all the latest bells and whistles (frontlight, colour warmth, 300ppi). If your budget is lower then you're probably best off finding a used Kindle or something, which should perform okay (I can only really speak for the last-gen Kobo Glo HD, which I never had any complaints with). E-ink technology moves pretty slow, so there aren't very many big innovations (the latest one is probably colour).

I have a second hand kobo aura edition 2 (launched on 2016 I think, and I bought it on 2020) and the page turning is fast and comfy to read fluidly. It cost me 50€ with warranty

For all new readers, always for native formats (not PDF), the turn page time ranges from very fast to instantaneous.

Nook was always a brand with clunky firmware.

I haven't tried an ereader since I tried a Nook in ~2012 and going from one page to the next was unmanageably slow. I'm a relatively fast reader and I hated getting bogged down between pages.

My budget is tight so I'd be looking at older models, not the latest and greatest, so what can I expect from a last-gen model?

How long does it take to turn pages on a newer ereader?

but when I need to move the page or change it there's a "refreshing" of the entire screen that is a little annoying.

Great ePub reader

 It doesn't always work the first try. Sometimes it activates the highlights or something but that way you can just customize the screen brightness easily on the fly like that and get like a nice level for the lighting conditions that way. I like that feature because then you can fine tune it nice and easily. I like this front light

 If you go all the way to 0% then the light is off. Okay, so another easier way to adjust it is just to use this trick by going up and down the side of the screen here. It doesn't always work the first try. Sometimes it activates the highlights or something but that way you can just customize the screen brightness easily on the fly like that and get like a nice level for the lighting conditions that way

 Alright so this is a side loaded ePub right and you don't have the option, you don't have all the options that you have with Kobo's eBooks, Kobo's ePubs. So if you wanted to you can convert eBooks to Kobo's format so with Kobo's format we have a few different features here so first off as you see you also get a header if you don't have full screen enabled so you get the header as well with Kobo's eBooks. Page turns are much faster with Kobo's eBooks. As you can see I mean it's much faster

 Page turns are much faster with Kobo's eBooks. As you can see I mean it's much faster. It just folds the page really quickly with Kobo's eBooks. With the Kobo's books you also have the reading time estimator right here so it will show you the chapters in the book
