    @pnadigital ich bin auf einen #Kobo umgestiegen. Im Moment lese ich da noch ein paar alte Bücher, die ich schon habe aber ich muss mir langsam über Nachschub Gedanken machen. Idealerweise Anbieter, bei denen ich EPUB Dateien kaufen und herunterladen kann. Die kann ich dann über #Calibre auf meinen Kobo laden. Das müssten natürlich Anbieter sein, bei denen die Lizenz das hergibt. Heutzutage kauft man ja keine Bücher mehr, sondern nur noch die Lizenz, sie zu lesen.

    #WritersCoffeeClub September 5: “Do you track your word count? How? Why?”

    Yes, via #Calibre , using the EPUB version of the manuscripts.

    I find it useful to determine how large the word count of my "Master Volume" is - the collection of all the German folk tales I have translated so far (currently, it's at 723,482 words). For my book manuscripts, the word count gives a useful gauge how long they will be in comparison to my previous books.

    Time for a Come to Jeebus moment: I will never get along with #calibre ebook management.

    It's an incredible, capable, venerable piece of software, and my partially blind ass just continuously gets gut punched by its interface hard and often enough that I spent a chunk of this evening picking apart the broken bits of 5 separate Calibre libraries I've tried to maintain over time. All failed.

    So, I now have a sanely curated set of named folders on my NAS for ebooks:

    ./fiction
    ./fiction/science-fiction
    ./fiction/science-fiction/robert-a-heinlein
    ./freemasonry
    ./freemasonry/audiobooks

    ./tech/retro
    ./tech/retro/amiga
    ./tech/retro/atari8
    ./tech/infrastructure-as-code
    ./tech/php
    ./tech/lisp

    I am pleased with this arrangement.

    Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 08-31-26

    We bring August to a close with one Pook-Emu Bee for the road. 1 | Understanding And Dealing With Kim Jong-Un’s Resilience (Mario Alexis Portella for American Thinker. August 31, 2026.) I attribute Kim Jong-un's resiliance to his looking at everything. 2 | Israel Continues Elimination Campaign Against October 7 Perpetrators and Gaza Terror Commanders (Vijeta Uniyal for Legal Insurrection. August 29, 2026.) There seems to be a growing correlation between having participated in October 7 […]

    So, #Amazon's decision to remove #ebook #downloads on Feb. 26th has had an effect on me that I think is a bit on the surprising side.... Not only did I downlaod all of my books this weekend, but I also downloaded (neaarly) all the books I had on the Google Play Books, and finally got #Calibre working on my system.

    I have, however, encountered an odd situation with Play Books that I wonder if anyone has encountered (if anyone is actually using Play Books). The situation: a long time ago (around 10 years), I uploaded a bunch of DRM free ePubs of technical books (mostly O'Reily books) to read on my tablet... It was the easiest option at the time.

    Now, however, I can't download them. Whenever I try to download them I get a 404 page from Google. The weird part: I can still open them in the reader both on the web and the Android app.

    I wonder if anyone else has encountered this issue, and if they found a workaround or fix for the issue?
