  1. Cap recomanació de tenda on-line per a comprar pinso a la nostra gata (fivi)??

    Estem en procés de desintoxicació d'Amazon i ella necessita una marca/model en concret...

  2. So now I’m wondering if old packrat Lori has any of those paperwork file folders squirrelled away in the basement circa 2005 #ByeAmazon #ByeKindle

  4. At some point I’ll have to create another Calibre library for non-fiction, and get all my business, self-help, and computer ebooks sorted out. But at this moment in time, I don’t really care about most of those. #ByeAmazon #ByeKindle

  6. When I say “majority”, I mean the novels. I’ve got about 675 novels in Calibre now. Another 44 are stuck in DRM lock-land. Can’t figure out what credit card was used to purchase them back in the early 2000’s from EReader and PeanutPress, and without that I’m stuck. #ByeAmazon #ByeKindle

  8. I am ridiculously excited that I’ve managed to get the majority (500+) of my ebook library reorganized and loaded up on my new Kobo Libra Colour. Calibre is really a fantastic tool to help me get all the metadata updated on ebooks that are up to 25 years old.

  10. oha, i hadn't noticed this. but it is true. luckily i already have local backups of all my books i bought at amazon. used the same method as described in the post: download, load into calibre, make book readable for normal ebook readers. make backup of calibre library!!!

    so that's the end of buying books at amazon. when i can't get any ebooks there anymore i will go back to lokal bookshops for physical books (if i'd ever need any).

    Saved and liberated the first 100 books I "bought" at Amazon for my Kindle. Amazon will stop offering the "Download & transfer via USB" option, so I am downloading all 210 books now. After downloading, I hunt them through Calibre and a certain plugin to remove the DRM stuff, convert the books to EPUB format so I can put them on a new ebook reader that is more open than the Amazon walled garden. And in future I will buy my eBooks someplace else. #ByeAmazon
