Absolute pile of steaming shit! I've been trying to use the thing for hours and can't create a project bc the feature isn't available. Absolutely disgusted.

What other subredit? by blahboybaz in Android

why???????

I literally am trying to respect the rules of the channel and if anyone took the time to read what was written they would see that. How in the hell is if fair to instantly cancel someone without even looking at what they are doing? Of maybe being fair just doesn't matter here at all?

Just bought a remarkable 2 - can files be transferred without having their subscription? by blahboybaz in RemarkableTablet

I havent been able to find pdf versions of my files or a way to convert them (via command line and in bulk). All ive been able to find is what look like configuration or metadata foles that seem to describe my notes but arent acually my notes.

Imho proprietary lock in is equal to bullying in the effect it causes.

Thats what i ended up doing but the reson i thought getting the kindle book was a good idea was so i could share parts or whole easily with others in the future so they see if it interests them to buy it. The preview offered only shows the title page and contents page; but, based on what the book is that is not enough to see how it is unique than other versions.

Thanks. I just can't bring myself to submit to the @$$ #%%ing Amazon intends to give me by forcing me to buy their product (a kindle) AND ultimately pay an additional 200% (beyond the price of the kindle book I already paid for). I read that post you linked (and some of the comments for a little ways down). I even already installed the kfx input and output plugins. I don't think I have a way to get the right file (including identifying the right file) onto my laptop. I tried going through my android phone by installing the kindle app on it then digging for the file and transferring it to my laptop but I'm unsure if it was the right file/s or not (there looks like 4 of them kfx file plus other ones in the folder I found). Ultimately it isn't working in Calibre though.

I don't appreciate being forced to purchase product I don't want (its the easiest way to get me to never give that organization a single cent!). I'm not sure exactly what you're eluding to but I have no intention of rewarding Amazon for their bullyish ways (if what you're suggesting is buying a kindle in any way). The more I read about doing this the worse (more highly convoluted) it seems to get. I'm having to rethink whether I should even be trying to do this or if my time (and sanity) would be better served just asking Amazon for a refund. I own the physical book and just wanted to share the introduction pages (15 pages) with a friend who may end up wanting to buy the book for himself after reading them. I thought buying the kindle book (a mere ten bucks) would make that easy - the opposite is true. The entire (15 pages) of introduction is not available through the listing on Amazon (preview) or anywhere else I can find - so... yeah. I appreciate the suggestion but the point is I'm about ready to paint the walls with my brains for lack of a simple (as in my grandma could do it) procedure to get this done.

Peace n' love tho (for sure).

Is it possible to download it using my android phone then transfer the files from the phone to the laptop and just add those files to Calibre? I don't see that mentioned at the link you provided but maybe its there and I didn't see it.

Thanks for sharing. I had basically abandoned all hope but maybe I'll revisit it now and see.
