random thought:
I buy kindle books, then periodically I vacuum the books into calibre as a backup.
I don't want dead trees anymore. I want nicely formatted ebooks so I can give away my quarter ton of dead trees & shelves. my DRM-free ebooks are nearly weightless!
@pnathan I spent a few weeks getting a semi-reliable DRM-stripping pipeline, and fed all of my Kindle purchases in to it. Great great feeling.
@rrix I havn't looked around for a long time - is there a *good* non-DRM ereader made for *readers* out there? I have the Kindle DX, but its getting on the old side of things.
@pnathan I swear by my Kobo aura one. https://us.kobobooks.com/products/kobo-aura-one The screen is big enough, even that you can read PDFs without having to resize them from paper-dimensions. Supports epub + mobi, and you can manage the collections from Calibre without jailbreaking it. I think all the kobo products are similar.
@alyx @pnathan It's a good little computer thinger. The blue light reduction is very very nice
