Not EU but I changed to Kobo from Amazon some time ago and don’t regret it for a second. Got a backlit e-reader for nighttime stories, loads of books on sale and none of it goes to Bezos.
Got a BYD Dolphin in UK, it’s been perfect so far after a year. They are bringing a super cheap one here too, I hope it does well and keeps taking funds out of Elons pocket.
When I was in Stockport and Newcastle a few years back it tasted weird and Stockport gave me bad stomach cramps. Devon was poor when I was there for a spell too, Midlands was nice as it came from the mountains in nearby Wales. Think it depends on the water company but I was bitten a couple of times and decided to not risk it hah!
If I go down to England though I don’t touch it, depending on where I am. My wife is English and was stunned we just filled our glasses straight from the tap.
I want more of these random encounters in my RPGs hah!
