I was seriously considering getting one of those new e-book readers like the Xteink X4 for about £45 on AliExpress. But my old Kindle 4th Gen is still going strong. It does take forever to charge. But because there's no backlight, the battery lasts for days and days. These things are £15 on eBay now. I might get a couple of spares as backups at that price. The only downsides are no USB-C and the need to convert epub to mobi, but honestly this old tech works just fine.

Thank "Bob" for Annas Archive. I have quite a few books that have never been published as"actual" ebooks. 60s and 70s single print run books that were only published as mass markets. Many are getting fragile and so I'd like electronic versions to reduce handling.

I type the title into AA and it just comes right up.

Anyone know of an app that removes DRM on ebook files?

It's for books that I have purchased but want to change into EPUB format and load into a KOBO reader.

Anyone know of a way to handle duplicates in #Jellyfin (without deleting), or “bookshelf” app to do the same? #Reading #eBooks #SelfHosted

I've been formatting books for seven years now and have done hundreds of titles. Have a new book you want to self-publish, but just don't quite know how to prep your book files? We use Vellum for the Mac, and provide formatting for ePub (all formats) and pdf/print.

Best of all? It's just $100, changes included. Try it now:
