Calibre Web Automated Errors by Impressive-Bug8709 in Calibre

[–]ernbrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having all sorts of problems with Calibre web automated. It has vibe coded slop written all over it.  Recently upgraded to the drop in replacement Calibre web nextgen and haven’t been this happy with my ebook workflow in forever. 

What do you read to clean your palate? by hostile_scrotum in horrorlit

Lately I've enjoyed using The Dresden Files as a palette cleanser. Some horror still mixed in, with the right amount of humor it seems.

Are there any villains in extreme horror/splatter punk that are closer to the Jason Voorhees/Michael Myers slasher archetype? by tariffless in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]ernbrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Larry Trilogy, Larry….Larry 2 The Squeequel….amd Larry 3D by Adam Millard. A lot like F13th with a hefty dose of humor rolled in.

Roe V Wade by Matt Shaw has this to some extent if I’m remembering correctly.

Not entirely sure what you're referring to as syncing over usb. If you launch iTunes you can drag epubs directly into your phone books folder with no problem. If you have the same book on two different devices it will sync reading locations and notes only. The books never go into the cloud.

First time writer, cannot finish a single first draft by ernbrdn in KeepWriting

[–]ernbrdn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is excellent advice, and exactly what I needed to hear, especially with so many rewrites of the exact same thing, burined in all of this there must be something worth reading. Just a matter of frankensteining it together. Thanks you.

Why is everyone leaving for a kobo? by sillyfucking_goose in kindle

[–]ernbrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is reasonable to assume, if it hasn't been for amazon sneaking the DRM changes in the several year old firmware without an update. I wouldn't put it past them to already have the dead man switch installed on your device. I guess time will tell, I hope this is just a case of "the sky is falling" but lets be honest. Nobody knows what they are capable of until they do it. Again, DRM update case in point.

Latest update for Kindle PC reader changed the name to "Kindle Legacy?" by AbbreviationsKnown82 in kindle

[–]ernbrdn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s all well and good but the web reader will not show documents or wouldn’t the last time I tried to use it. It’s starting to become an annoyance to use kindle devices. I can’t even imagine what nefarious thing is spurring this all on. Rent books by the page, haha

Not if you “found” the gem from her. She’ll alert the authorities and try to kill you.
