しろくまカフェ Vol 1: Absolute Beginner Book Club

I tried searching for it on my iPhone… I guess it’s iPad only? Couldn’t find it… Would be great if I could read them on my phone, I do have a few items there I believe.

What region are you? It’s definitely in the us App Store for iPhone but you have to search “ebook Japan” with that spelling and the space to find it (“ebooks japan” and “ebookjapan” don’t find it).
Here’s the link to the us App Store version

I’m in Europa, Norway to be exact. OK, I’ll set my VPN to USA and see if that works…
Hm, nope, setting the VPN isn’t enough. Though my internet is fooled to thinking it is in the US, my app store still shows me my normal selection (I get up apps for Norwegian book stores’ version of ebook apps). I probably have to change in settings as well, which might be more complicated… I remember I did it once, to get Pokemon Go from Australia before it was released here :wink:

I did the exact spelling.

There is definitely an iPhone App. To change the store, you have to change your settings

I am in Hungary, and I could download the ipad app and the android app too! it works great, syncs the books I had bought on ebookjapan

In the German app store it is called ebiReader - maybe that helps you find it in Norway as well…

Seeing others’ books is so nice :heart_eyes: I use the digital versions, but physical has so much charm :heart_eyes:

Arrived today! Posing with my very own polar bear

YES! Thank you! Found it! Ebi reader worked! Didn’t have to change settings/VPN! =D

Not the most impressive, but still a few. I don’t even recognize hslf of these O_o
Think they might have been free…
I know I paid for Girl Who Leapt Through Time (but was on sale, so got it even though I have it physically)

I have a few of those on my shelf as well, so I guess it’s a newbies welcome pack or something.

Hummm I didn’t get it

I eventually found it because Jisho suggested the Wikipedia article on the US submarine USS Kamehameha, where I learn it was named after Kamehameha I - I then google image searched him and found photos of his statue where he’s wearing the same outfit as しろくまさん in that panel… :sweat_smile:

I haven’t reached this one yet, and I have no idea! Hopefully the context helps? :slight_smile:

I’m in Hawaii right now and everything is Kamehameha

I love when eBay sellers do that!

Just ordered from amazon Japan yesterday; it should arrive today!

As a beginner I think I would personally like the google docs to only contain the kanji on the book, that way it is a bit more focused and do not go off on a tangent!

As a beginner I would like to have literally everything in the vocab list :rofl:

Starting to wish I’d gotten myself the older print book - if the font is larger that makes it a bit easier to read as a beginner!

Also terrible at grammar, so don’t worry, you’re not alone. :slight_smile:

Hoping to put more effort into grammar study this time around.

I just skimmed through the vocab (to see how much I know of it) and came across いろんあ in chapter 6… Too lazy to check the book right now but wouldn’t that actually be いろん
