What are you Reading? (August 2023) - Lemmy.world

I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me.

No idea. :( I’d assume since it’s a version of Android you’d be able to install an app that reads those files.

I don’t have a kindle, but according to my buddy, Amazon assigns an email address for every Kindle, so you just email your DRM-free books to that address and they show up on the Kindle.
