  • i find it still palateable after 24 hours out, but i never go past that, usually overnight at the most. my partner will let it sit for longer if i dont intervene

    the flavor and texture degrade quite a bit even just overnight. if you put it in the fridge right away (in something airtight) flavor and texture stay much more intact. For me i will give it up to 5 days in the fridge before throwing it out.

    if i have way too much pizza i freeze slices in airtight bags. a bit of a hassle to reheat, but it comes out almost as good as fresh


  • my wife has a Kobo reader and it’s a great alternative, from Canada. The reader works great with Calibre on desktop for books you already own, and the Kobo store is more or less equivalent to the Kindle store.

    I have no suggestion for getting files off an iPhone, but presumably an app exists to arbitrarily send files to desktop, and from there Calibre works.

    Kobo build quality is better than other e-readers, and it supports color and markups. Overall it’s pretty good for PDFs/textbooks and novels, but manga/comics can be a little goofy.

    I cant speak on the syncing since she has only the one device.

    Good luck!

    Edit: seems like you edited (or i misunderstood) the OP. Kobo (the device) works great with US library lending, but ymmv if you are in another country. If you use the kobo app on your phone it will sync your position with the device, but the app is pretty flawed on mobile and doesnt have a desktop version i’m aware of.

    I wouldnt mind using the app to read fiction, but it’s not great for reference material. I use a standalone pdf reader for that kind of thing on my phone, which obviously doesnt sync.
