Is there a way to change the Library to be able to see epub files? I have KOReader installed now, but I have to go through the directory to find my epub files.

What does it do?

Wow, they decide to kill off downloading books over USB and karma immediately strikes back lol

Huh, TIL, my gf has a relatively old Kindle, are all the models affected?

She uses Calibre to get her books.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Poor wording on my part, they're removing the ability to download books directly from Amazon to your computer. You can still transfer books via USB using Calibre.

Hers's an article from The Verge with more info. My apologies.

im glad i got a normal tablet over an ereader, s9fe surprisingly is fire (i read comic books mostly), relatively cheap tablets are solid now, too big at 11 inches to one hand comfortably but better for video so ill make the sacrifice. Expected cheaper tablets to be garbage since my only experience was like a decade ago, now they're all pretty good, the lenovo ones are better/cheaper off aliexpress and have usable nits (brightness) compared to the us models.

Is comic rack still the standard software for comics?

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago

It is, and it's been revived! https://github.com/maforget/ComicRackCE

edit: I jailbreaked it, now it can't get amazon updates anymore!

What for? Cuz loading pirated books is trivial?

[–] blindsight@beehaw.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Isn't a cracked (old, I think?) Kindle the only way to pirate KU/DRM titles? At least, that's what I recall from the last time I looked into it. There's a book I really wanted to format shift from KU since Google TTS was fucking up all the proper nouns, but I gave up. (It was an obscure book that isn't available anywhere pirated.)

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

Ah I wouldn't know about THAT. I just download and convert epubs from the likes of z-library/libgen, and have done so since getting my first Kindle circa 2012

Giving me something to do with my current kindle. I wasn't sure how to load to it my downloaded books, so I've been suffering on my phone, but hopefully this helps me out a bunch. Thanks. This is a rabbit hole I never knew existed.

Sick luckily mines already jail broken but will keep this saved for future. I would love to see a bigger modding scene like custom os akin to android
