Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️the kindle should have name-replacement built in.
I keep having to pirate books, hacking them to remote certain triggering names, and reuploading them.
maybe I should just write a script to automate this
I wouldn't have to pirate it but amazon wants to DRM all their books, even when I'm just here to rename one guy
It is pretty hilarious that I can't edit the book I own because the DRM thinks I'm trying to steal it, and the fix for this is simply to steal it and edit the stolen copy instead
Don't buy DRMed content, kids: just steal it instead, you'll have more ability to fold, spindle, and mutilate it, and you'll have it forever.
epubs are zips, btw. unzip them and you can easily edit their contents
「Carmilla」 luné's villain era@foone trying to load all my digital books/comics into my ereader also taught me
.cbz files are archives, and very straightforward ones. been fun making patreon comic releases into files I can view on my kobo (though some of them are Funky and need proper covers/metadata)
A cool crab wearing shades@lunemercove and .cbr are rar files! I remember when these formats were being hashed out and it was like, honestly just zipping it compresses it enough and if you change the extension it can be associated with the reader software easily. So that's what they went with.
@neckspike oh yeah I did a lot of learning about the variants! iirc the Kobo I have only supports cbz/cbr, or maybe even just cbz, so I ended up going with that. but it was a fun thing to learn about.
Canageek@lunemercove @foone Yes, cbz is zip, cbr is rar and cb7 is 7zip.
Wikipedia lists a few other ones like cba but I've never seen those in the wild
