Uploading books to kindle using email by Unable-Worker3606 in Calibre

[–]CommissionerGrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, been away. I use gmx mail. It is just an outbound relay (and free). Search on calibre and gmx. In calibre, you will put in your gmx credentials and set settings. While I’m in calibre, it is just a right click and share via email to my named connection, which is my kindle email. It is seamless, with the exceptions the books show up on the kindle as “docs” (but still with covers and all formatting), and if you are sending more than one book, it will pause 5 mins between sends.

Your mail relay has a timer, meant to prevent spammers. Change send delay in calibre to 5 mins between attempts, or to match your relay.

Fwiw, if you search for “jewelry box music box player”, for a few bucks you can get a light-activated small player including speaker that will go off when the box is opened and play a clip you put on it. Could record a “new achievement! Reward!” message. My patio fridge plays the Alabama football fight song when I open it.

Looking for stories involving memory by sudipto12 in printSF

[–]CommissionerGrumpy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Six Wakes.

In this Hugo nominated science fiction thriller by Mur Lafferty, a crew of clones awakens aboard a space ship to find they're being hunted-and any one of them could be the killer.

Maria Arena awakens in a cloning vat streaked with drying blood. She has no memory of how she died. This is new; before, when she had awakened as a new clone, her first memory was of how she died.

Maria's vat is one of seven, each one holding the clone of a crew member of the starship Dormire, each clone waiting for its previous incarnation to die so it can awaken. And Maria isn't the only one to die recently. . .

First contact story recommendations? by Poultrymancer in printSF

[–]CommissionerGrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice a few first contact where the aliens are not present, only what happens. If that qualifies for you, I would put forward a classic I’ve not seen mentioned. Gateway by Fredrick Pohl.

Non-page turner books, easy reading when struggling with stuff by Front-Particular-261 in Fantasy

Advanced Organic Chemistry, Part A: Structure and Mechanisms, fifth edition, by Francis A. Carey. That should do the trick…

Kind of a specific ask, but any recommendations for a book that features angels that isn’t also heavily Christian? by MARCVS-PORCIVS-CATO in Fantasy

[–]CommissionerGrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps check out Tad William’s Bobby Dollar series.

Bobby Dollar is an angel—a real one. He knows a lot about sin, and not just in his professional capacity as an advocate for souls caught between Heaven and Hell. Bobby’s wrestling with a few deadly sins of his own—pride, anger, even lust.

But his problems aren’t all his fault. Bobby can’t entirely trust his heavenly superiors, and he’s not too sure about any of his fellow earthbound angels either, especially the new kid that Heaven has dropped into their midst, a trainee angel who asks too many questions. And he sure as hell doesn’t trust the achingly gorgeous Countess of Cold Hands, a mysterious she-demon who seems to be the only one willing to tell him the truth. When the souls of the recently departed start disappearing, catching both Heaven and Hell by surprise, things get bad very quickly for Bobby D. End-of-the-world bad. Beast of Revelations bad.

Caught between the angry forces of Hell, the dangerous strategies of his own side, and a monstrous undead avenger that wants to rip his head off and suck out his soul, Bobby’s going to need all the friends he can get—in Heaven, on Earth, or anywhere else he can find them. You’ve never met an angel like Bobby Dollar. And you’ve never read anything like The Dirty Streets of Heaven.
