  1. Merda! Booklore está descontinuado? E agora? Porque me nego a ter Calibre sobre Docker, é un cristo de manter a longo prazo.

    With this kind of issue, I've found that having the dedicated e-reader device (even an old one, whether Kindle or Kobo)) makes it much easier to #DeDRM things.

    The Kobo, in particular, is effortless with #Calibre and the DeDRM plugin.

    Edit: language clarification and a little more detail

    Odysee receives huge UI improvements and some new features: new video player (mimicking YouTube's video player), home page top slide now displays a channel preview the 3 latest videos and a follow button, mini video player when hovering a video's thumbnail, floating player, search field on channel > Content pages, revamped content upload flow divided into multiple pages, Advanced Editor for writing comments (with text formatting buttons), favicons displayed next to links in text posts and comments

    FreeTube also received some UI revamp: new video player (also somewhat similar to YouTube's), some text changed to first letter uppercase instead of all uppercase, icons added to subscription page
    (Why does everyone copy YouTube's video player? It looks kinda ugly... Also, the bottom panel's buttons are barely visible if the video is bright. Odysee's new video player at least has a darker background for those buttons)

  16. We're very fortunate that all Czech e-books are sold DRM-free. You can read them on any device without any hassle.

    Unfortunately, as an owner of an old #Kindle I'm pretty much forced to buy English books on #Amazon. At least #Calibre / #DeDRM doesn't let me down and I can still read them on any device.

    I promise I only use the books to train my LLM. And, unlike Meta, I actually purchased them.

    #ebook #ebooks #DRM

  17. Habe immer noch ein zufriedenes Lächeln im Gesicht. Gestern habe ich endlich mal die #eBooks befreit, die ich vor (teils sehr vielen) Jahren bei Amazon gekauft habe - das hatte ich schon lange vor! Jetzt sind es normale #epub-Dateien, die mein Nicht-Amazon-Reader gut anzeigen kann. Das #Lesen in der Hängematte kann beginnen! 🌳 📚 😃

    #NoDRM #DeDRM #Calibre

  18. Successfully loaded my entire #Kindle library from my #PaperWhite onto my computer using #Calibre, #DeDRM, and the #KFXImport plugins.

    I am a happy nerd!!

    Now I just have to figure out how to DeDRM my old Nook books.

  19. I like #snaps they work, and they get out of the way. #Flatpaks are fine as well, I install them if that is an option over an #apt install. But, #Flatpak does have its annoyances like when I open #Calibre, and it tells me there is an update but nothing in #Discover. Or, when there is a flat in Discover, but it does not update. Also, #Qbittorrent stopped launching, so switched that to snap. Just my experiences and preferences. #YouDoYou
    #Kubuntu #Ubuntu

  20. Managed to #DeDRM nearly all our #Kindle books.

    I used #Calibre + the DeDRM plugin method (see the link below for more details).

    Try to use the Calibre Flatpak or download the official binary from their website. The one packaged for #debian bookworm is missing a python package that is an essential dependency for the plugin.

    techyorker.com/how-to-de-drm-k

  21. Finally downloaded my whole #Kindle library, imported it into #Calibre and converted them all to #EPUB with #DeDRM

    That took me a while. But now it's done. Luckily, I still have a registered Kindle somewhere 😂 Not even sure where or if it's still functional. But it was registered in 2011 and is still connected to my account. Well, goodbye #Amazon — I won't miss you at all.

    #bookstodon

  22. I have just found this a most useful article that will help those who (like me) need to get their books off their kindle fast, with as little pain as possible (being that it is an unfamilar operation, and I don't have time to noodle around the idea, with Feb 26th fast approaching)
