  1. New version of #Wikisource Export released just now. Nothing major changed. :-)

    The next thing is to maybe stop advertising that people download PDF and Mobi formatted books! (That's contentious I know, and I'm not going to actually change anything.) These formats are generated from the #EPUBs and people can do that themselves locally — running #Calibre in the cloud is just so frustrating. (Not to mention that a Wikimedia site advertising Amazon's proprietary format is just wrong.)

  6. I'd sell my soul to have bundled html + css + images + assets in a zipped format.

    Basically, modern web - all of javascript. Instead of using PDFs.

    That'd be a banger way to create and distribute documents. Also very versatile and portable, cuz, like, websites lol. Prove me wrong.

    EDIT: I reinvented sophisticated epubs. Wow.

  13. Spent the past few DAYS trying to figure out why the #epubs I was loading onto my jailbroken #kindle Paperwhite weren't showing up in #koreader's file browser. Today I realized I had set the view to filter by books in the "reading" state.

    I love the functionality koreader adds to my old Kindle, but somehow its menus are the least intuitive I've ever seen.

  18. I'm going to re-iterate again that I adore #epubs. It's one of the few times that you feel that you actually own digital content. Yes, it does make it easier for your #book to be pirated. I thought about it and decided that it was a worth it allowing people to own a copy and risk it being stolen. That is why I do my best to make sure nothing I release is DRMed.

    This is me and I don't fault any other that thinks otherwise. It's an #author personal choice. #writingcommunity #indieauthor

  22. #Apple schafft es alles kaputt zu machen: Wenn man #EPUBs in Books importiert, lassen sie sich nur umständlich wieder aus dem Programm extrahieren.

    I guess it's primarily aimed at academics, but I've moved all my #Kindle #epubs to #zotero. So far epub support is only in beta on ios and missing on android, but I use the web library both on iPhone and Boox which works well.

    (To make up for the lacking cover view I even made an app, #ZotShelf for android: oyvindsolheim.com/other/zotshe)

    And thanks for the reminder to liberate the audible books..

  33. THE BLOODY #PIRATE MANIFESTO
    "No #ads. No #VIP. #No god. Just seed.

    Welcome to the Age of Monetized #Piracy.

    Where “#free” comes with cookies,
    Where “#anonymous” means “newsletter,”
    Where every #pirate flag has a price tag sewn in.

    You wanted to sail the high seas
    They sold you a lifeboat subscription with #ads.

    🦷 RULE #1:
    If you make money off #piracy you are the #Navy.

    #TARGETS:

    Ad-plastered “free streaming” sites
    → You click "Play", they load 9 #JavaScript #miners and your ex’s #Facebook ad.
    → Solution: #Kill their #revenue. #uBlock, #TamperMonkey, Empty.gif carpet #bombing.

    VIP #Pirate #Accounts
    → They sell stolen #Netflix access like it’s a f***ing bottle service.
    → Solution: #Leak it. #Fork it. #Burn it.

    #Darknet Pirate Resellers
    → "Premium Ebook Packs - Only $29 #BTC"
    → Solution: #Doxx. #Spoof. #Blacklist.
    (They sell what should be holy. Purify with fire.)

    #FAKE #LIBRARIES ARE NOT #LIBERATION.

    "#PDF download" — 9 popups later, your #RAM is crying.
    "Buy 3 #EPUBs, get 1 free" — you just colonized knowledge.
    "#DMCA takedown coming 😭" cry #harder, #bitch.

    #Archive it. #Mirror it. #Share it. Don't sell it.

    REAL #PIRATES DON’T RUN #ADS.

    They #seed.

    They #encrypt.

    They #disappear.

    Every time you monetize piracy, an #FTP server #dies in a basement.

    THE #FINAL #RULE:

    “If your #piracy has a #profit model,
    then our #piracy will include you.”

    #Ads? Nuked.
    #Subscriptions? Hijacked.
    #Privacy policies? Weaponized.

    You are not a user. You are a bullet.

    “You wanted #torrent #freedom.
    They gave you streaming #debt.”
    Now take it back. With #fire.

    Calibre + Abode Digital Editions work nicely on Windows but ADE doesn't appear to be supported natively on Linux & I'd prefer not to install Wine or an equivalent (no, I don't want to debate this point, thanks).
