If they tied a bookwyrm comments section to an ISBN number for example then anybody/site could easily have it embedded to make it a universal tool rather than specifically connected to a piracy site.

Yeah, it’s silly and odd and likely done to push customers towards formats that they have greater control over.

Those epubs that aren’t really epubs, randomly disallowing azw3 files (that they support officially!!!) from being downloaded directly from the kindle’s built in browser and other restrictive behaviour are part of this. That’s why I’m eventually looking to enable epubs on kindle once the people at mobileread find a way to do it. Apparently calibre can be set up to send files too via email so that’s another option.

They’re not though. They only do over the cloud conversions from epub to an amazon proprietary format, that can make the covers or formatting go awry.

I’m envisioning Bookwyrm behaving as a comments section for anna’s archive (possibly all/any decentralised book repositary), but they’d be reviews instead. I’m reminded of discus or facebook that you often get embedded on certain sites.

Why are you so aggressive man?

YouTube does change how videos are accessed so the apps need to update every time that happens.

I think this is what has happened.

Grayjay from Louis Rossman’s company is really good - you can even log in with youtube etc. It looks amazing. It looks like a Tachiyomi for Video and Livestreaming!!! You can add other sources.

Imagine somebody gamified it like people gamify seeding lol.

It’s a basic site but well stocked. Not comparable to the big torrent sites, but it is great.

Sigil and Calibre have tools that allow you to view metadata and edit html, toc etc. But I doubt there’d be tracking on a travel book tbh despite the comments below - (I’m happy to be corrected). It’s often visible on journal articles and others have stated technical books too.

Unlikely mate. Millions use it. Its pretty lightweight.

Tbf Tor is based on US military software. Could be a honeypot lol. But it’s the best we’ve got…

I remember using that on windows xp, maybe vista too.

I only recently stopped using it. And a lot of content on the internet, expecially ones for download use rar part files to split it up and host freely.

Seems unkind lol.

Rents work this way; it wouldn’t be a surprise if the same playbook was adopted by these neo-feudalists.

Turn them into soil. Put them in the ground.

Are you relatively healthy at least?

Reminds one of Twitter or Reddit.

Seems a bit much.
