I just released my novel HUMAN today and for the first week I’d like to make it free to all you #FediHumans out there. Visit https://bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.html and use the code ‘fedihuman’ to get your free EPUB!

bretthodnett.comHUMANA remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.

1x Windows in Docker + 500 MB für Kindle for PC und Calibre (plus so Plugins) später, hab ich nun doch ein Epub der 1,50 EUR Kurzgeschichte. Mein Fresse :D

Lesson learned: es ist endgültig vorbei mit Kindle Books

A row of schematic views of two tablets in landscape mode, and linked with a left-to-right arrow.

Three panels of a comics are displayed in the tablets. The first tablet in the row contains the first panels of the comics on the right hand of the tablet, with the left side empty; the second tablet contains the second and third panels of the comics side-by-side.

@natpanferova There is one small downside—the #EPUB version is larger than 50 MB and cannot be uploaded to the Kindle Cloud Library.

@postfilm wauw, #kindle is #banned by many users. Not only #amazon supports #trump with one million dollars and band #DEI it’s new policy is you can’t download books for private anymore. They can delete your books on the kindje. Use #ePub instead.

For those who might be looking for a good introductory book to Emacs, here is a book that also is really comprehensive.

Waclena, K. (2024). _Use GNU Emacs: The Plain Text Computing Environment_. University of Chicago. https://www2.lib.uchicago.edu/keith/emacs/

You can browse the book in the web, or download it in PDF, ePub and Kobo ePub.

Lanzado Calibre 8.0, con muchas mejoras. Sobre todo para los que tenemos un #Kobo. Ahora reconoce el formato #ePub de los Kobos de tal manera que cuando sus usuarios envían un ePub a un Kobo, lo convierte automáticamente a Kepub.

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*) @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange

Does anyone know how (in #CSS) to tell Apple’s Books app not to break pages in the middle of a specific element (with #ePub books)? I’ve tried page-break-inside: avoid; and break-inside: avoid; but neither work. The most egregious is that it page breaks in the middle of an SVG figure, with half on one page and half on the next.

Idée logiciel / service open source : service de détection et remplacement des polices de caractère dans les fichiers epub.

Pourrait fonctionner hors ligne avec le stockage local du navigateur (serialisation du epub dans indexeddb).

Si vous avez connaissance d'un tel service, n'hésitez pas à partager !

Auf geht’s - zum ersten Mal ein #eBook nicht bei Amazon sondern bei beam-shop.de gekauft - läuft bisher problemlos. Hat da jemand Erfahrung mit dem Shop bzw. gibt es bessere Alternativen? #kindle #epub #lesen

Der #KOReader ist meine #FOSS App der Wahl auf allen meinen E-Ink-Geräten. Ja, die Lernkurve ist am Anfang steil, aber nach einer Weile kann man sich an all den vielen Einstellungen wie Ligaturen, Kerning usw. erfreuen.

Mein Killer-Feature ist der direkte Export meiner Anstreichungen direkt in #Joplin.
