Rediscovering my jailbroken #Kindle lately with #koreader and I'm kinda surprised how the #epub format feels somewhat forgotten across the web. I want to read through documentation for some stuff, and it's all perfectly laid out in a tree of pages yet it's not trivial to convert that to a sane epub.

Some documentation offers #PDF versions, but more often than not PDF conversion to epub is even less useful.

Anyone have tools they use to convert these sorts of web documents to nice epubs?

This is a good breakdown of why EPUB beats Kindle's locked-down format — and where to find thousands of free, beautifully formatted books without DRM.

Standard Ebooks, Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg — all covered. Plus some reader app recommendations.

so ein quatsch! ich kann meine ausgeliehen epubs nicht verlängern, ich kann die ebooks nicht runterladen, dank umstellung von onleihe 2 auf onleihe 3. das ist enshitification! vorher konnte ich mit #calibre die bücher lesen wann ich sie lesen wollte - jetzt muss ich warten bis die unnötige und komplet bescheuerte zeit zwischen den ausleihen abgelaufen ist. warum?

Weekend here!

Project done and heading to print!

Now time to relax: peacefully reading some theology on H.P. Lovecraft while enjoying a good drink!

Not every great book needs 600 pages.

I picked 10 public domain books you can finish in a single day — all under 200 pages, all free as EPUBs from Standard Ebooks.

From Dickens to Dostoevsky to Kate Chopin. Each one hits harder than most novels twice its length.
