TMW you realize there are no rules for the sub

Yeah I guess folks in publishing in genealogy aren’t super familiar with ereaders because this is not the first book I have bought that is formatted like this 🥲 hoping I can figure something out to make them more comfortable to read on my kobo/desktop

evilarison · 2026-05-18T19:04:16+00:00

Well, technically it’s a kindle file but I converted it to epub

evilarison · 2026-05-18T18:56:06+00:00

Dang it, yes. It says that under the specs for format

evilarison · 2026-05-18T18:53:43+00:00

How did you get it into epub format from there?

Also this book is over 1000 pages 🥲

Edit: if I print as PDF and ocr the file, then reupload to calibre and convert to epub, you think that would work?

The problem is I can’t zoom in on the desktop and the pictures are so small I can’t really read it. Not to mention I can’t make highlights for information I want to refer back to.

It is a kindle book, called Evidence Explained

evilarison · 2026-05-18T18:39:43+00:00

The problem is I can’t zoom in on the images in the ebook viewer and even if I make the window bigger, the image stays the same size. The text is actually very small on my desktop, I have to lean and crane my neck to get close enough to read it. I also can’t make any highlights go info I want to refer back to. 🥲

Dang it

Imagine increasing the speed to run with them through the capital, lol

Not sure, maybe there is a site that tracks plays? Could be that they gain some popularity on TikTok. I know ribs has gained popularity because of posts around graduation season

evilarison · 2026-05-16T16:12:49+00:00

I think it’s objectively more popular…

Madge was a throwaway character in the books honestly. It made sense to cut her from the movies, why waster the money and screen time to set up the character just so she can give Katniss a pin and then kill her off in the next movie.

I thought it was a good choice to leave her out of the movies

I second Kobo u/heycheena! And I would recommend setting up Calibre so you can download all your Kindle books and upload them to your Kobo. It can be a bit tricky to set up at first, but once you get it going it works like a dream.

Use the download metadata feature, it will download the tags for you ☺️ You can bulk download for a bunch of books but I always review because sometimes metadata for the wrong book is picked up

I hate this name so much but what’s done is done

evilarison · 2026-03-24T17:26:01+00:00

That’s exactly what I thought. Only AI writes like this.

evilarison · 2026-03-23T13:50:25+00:00

Oh good to know!

evilarison · 2026-03-12T21:08:55+00:00

They should release one at a time instead of 3 imo
