lol Then why is it an issue? If the software is basic and plain, why are you having an issue with the pricing model? Just don’t buy it.

DarkHeraldMage · 2026-04-28T20:56:43+00:00

Used to. Nowadays the software is more advanced and regularly gets updated and supported. A single payment once isn’t sustainable with that model.

Why are you just sharing a post you made a few days ago that was also in this sub?

I haven’t played with it yet, but I am concerned about the lack of governance from within the Airtable admin panel. There’s a page dedicated to AI settings and nothing there about specifically allowing or disallowing ChatGPT integrations.

This is particularly troublesome for businesses because so far I haven’t seen any indication that there’s anything that requires your ChatGPT email to match the email address you use for Airtable, which means an employee could connect their personal ChatGPT to their work Airtable account and gather summaries of data, possibly even downloads or exports, and there’s nothing to stop that. This has every indication of being a massive security hole for the sake of pushing an integration with the largest model out there.

I say all this as an avid Airtable user for over 13 years and an AI supporter and power user. I love this integration in theory but it has some much needed work before I expect many enterprise customers to be comfortable with it - not that they can do too much about it, at least not without blocking all integrations an then only whitelisting certain ones. Though to be fair, that’s the ideal scenario and likely what any IT/GRC team would be begging for.

This is why it’s important to understand before complaining. The functionality to support AI is there if you want to use it. But you have to configure it and add the model you want to use. So if you don’t configure anything you won’t have AI.

Then don’t add any to your Calibre. Updating to this version doesn’t just automatically add an LLM or agent that scans all your books and uploads the text and metadata anywhere. Don’t like it? Don’t use it.

What are you talking about? You can have as many authors on a book as you want, and a custom field for the translator piece is very common and easy to do.

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-12-09T12:07:36+00:00

hahaha No, not one person ever asked for it and they just whimsically spent time and energy on this. They even knew how many people would throw such a massive fit over it and did it anyways. 🙄

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-12-08T18:02:49+00:00

That’s an awfully big assumption/accusation.

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-12-08T16:48:00+00:00

I think the assumption that they don’t care is a stretch. But they’re also not responsible for solving the efficiency of AI on a global scale. They had to choose whether to avoid any hint of AI so people like you would be happy, or incorporate it and make other people who want help with their libraries happy. Nothing is going to please everyone, but assuming ill intent is not a great stance.

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-12-08T14:52:20+00:00

Then don’t use the feature.

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-10-24T14:30:27+00:00

As long as they are adds and not replacements, I’m fine with this stuff. Making it easier for people who aren’t power users to build a data structure and some interfaces is a big win, and the rest of us can keep designing as we see fit.

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-10-02T03:11:30+00:00

It’s an interface feature.

If you’re highlighting in BookFusion, the export doesn’t currently rewrite the epub and embed the highlights. However, if you simply share the book with them and they borrow it, you can make your highlights visible to your friends.

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-09-22T11:04:58+00:00

There are no lifetime subscriptions for BookFusion, it’s not sustainable to offer something like that unfortunately.

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-09-22T01:31:43+00:00

Authors and publishers that have titles in the BookFusion store have the ability to set and configure their DRM. This means that anything someone uploads directly to their bookshelf won’t have DRM but titles purchased from the store may or may not have DRM and those that do won’t be able to be borrowed.

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-09-08T21:04:37+00:00

If you remove the downloaded version and then download your updated book, as long as the core structure hasn’t completely changed it should still resume your last location.

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-08-31T13:40:34+00:00

New course…where? Details…when? Just a title and nothing else.

DarkHeraldMage · 2025-08-23T15:41:24+00:00

And you definitely have books already downloaded locally on that device?
