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

    @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
    ./.local
    ./.local/bin
    ./art
    ./art/digital
    ./art/digital/blender
    ./history
    ./history/manuscripts
    ./history/manuscripts/voynich
    ./history/transportation
    ./history/transportation/mbta
    ./history/espionage
    ./gaming
    ./gaming/tabletop
    ./gaming/tabletop/world-of-darkness
    ./psychology
    ./Desktop
    ./tech
    ./tech/emacs
    ./tech/processing
    ./tech/ai
    ./tech/rust
    ./tech/security
    ./tech/math
    ./tech/culture
    ./tech/culture/model-view-culture
    ./tech/scheme
    ./tech/languages
    ./tech/games
    ./tech/databases
    ./tech/python
    ./tech/python/kivy
    ./tech/python/Music for Geeks and Nerds
    ./tech/python/Music for Geeks and Nerds/tracks
    ./tech/python/Music for Geeks and Nerds/code
    ./tech/python/Music for Geeks and Nerds/code/pyknon
    ./tech/retro
    ./tech/retro/amiga
    ./tech/retro/atari8
    ./tech/infrastructure-as-code
    ./tech/php
    ./tech/lisp

    I am pleased with this arrangement.

    Sometimes (often?) a nicely arranged #UNIX filesystem is chefs kiss perfect!
