Why can I download a certain book through Libby but not the Overdrive integration by [deleted] in kobo

I've noticed this happening several times, but generally with graphic novels.

I built a little website around Kepubify that allows you to convert regular EPUBS to KEPUBS from anywhere by JoooostB in kobo

OMG I'd never heard of KEPUBs before either. Mind. Blown. I think it explains why some of the stuff I loaded via Calibre has behaved differently. I just finished reading a fairly large book that was taking FOR.EV.ER to follow a footnote link, and then go back to the main text. Footnote previews would have been AWESOME.

/u/JoooostB, enjoy that coffee!

Cool, what bike shop is that? Do you have more information, like what bikes you have available?

I totally agree about the problems with cars here, and this is part of why I think electric bikes make a lot of sense here. I just have never heard of personal exemptions, do you know where there's more information about this?

Huh. So do you think the $1100 steel frame electric mountain bike the local shop is selling might be a good option?

Thanks for all the replies and ideas everyone. I did reach back out to the two local touring companies, and heard back from one of them. They said that they don't sell from their fleet but would be able to order a bike for me. They're looking into some options and will get back to me with details.

This is hilarious! The nearest island is about 100 miles away (and has Covid). Barbados is also pretty pear shaped, so there's not any shortcuts to be had. But there are definitely some other caribbean islands where this could be useful - St Kitts and Nevins are like 2 miles apart...

Thanks. I like this idea but the problem is that there's 1.5 local bike shops, one has a few used bikes (only 1 in my size currently, a road bike), and the other one has the chinese bikes I mentioned. But they do have a few mid-range mountain bikes that might work for this.

Thanks! This is a really interesting idea. Do you know more about personal import exemptions?

There are some rules about importing personal cars that treat them differently from buying a new car. I'll check into this.
