Starting today, for each day of #C2E2, three of my self-published stories will drop as ebooks on multiple online bookstores like #Kobo, #Smashwords, #BarnesandNoble, and others! From an apocalypse, to a folksy tale about a mysterious girl and her dog, to a cursed guy…you’re sure to find something you like! Only ninety-nine cents! Check my bio.

Just ordered a Kobo Libra Colour so now the only money I’m paying that asshole Bezos is for a couple of S3 buckets that I haven’t had time to move off of AWS.

Very much looking forward to the time when his fascist collaborator ass doesn’t get a single euro cent from me.

(Another plus: Kobo works with Overdrive and I checked and Dublin libraries support it so you should be able to check out library books directly on the device. And I’m quite looking forward to a little bit of colour and the notetaking features.)

My #Kobo Clara has arrived! I celebrated by purchasing the ebook version of my favorite #StephenKing novel. Then I added my first self-published story from 2015—a personal take on an apocalypse, inspired by #TheStand (with monsters).

Starting this Friday, I’ll be offering my work on platforms other than Amazon for the first time. I’m still getting things ready, but 99-cent pre-orders for this story are already live on the link below for Kobo, #Smashwords, and #BarnesandNoble (among others). More stories to come!

Llevo pensando unas semanas en comprarme un eReader, y no sé si me podría alguien ayudar. La cosa es que dados los últimos acontecimientos me gustaría evitar, por motivo obvios, comprarme un Kindle. Las otras opciones de marcas que conozco tipo Kobo tienen un precio por encima de lo que me gustaría y puedo pagar ahora mismo.

¿Conocéis alguna marca/modelo que sea compatible con la mayor cantidad de formatos posibles, y que en general sea cómodo en el uso y con software lo más libre posible (o fácil de liberar)? No pretendía gastarme más de 100 euros. ¿Quizá una opción sería comprarlo de segunda mano?¿Suele ser buena idea comprar este tipo de productos de segunda mano?

En general cualquier info me vendrá bien porque estoy un poco verde al respecto, la verdad :(

Owwwww :blahajread:

Thanks to a very lovely sweet friend, who jokingly said "Good news, my Nan died" (this was based on a conversation that we had about an episode of Downton Abbey, just FYI 😉), I was able to get the new Suzanne Collins book on my eReader!

Unfortunately, the account that I used when I set up the reader, was not the email that I use for the Bol Kobo store... So I had to logout and log in with the proper account.

It lost all my progress........ 😔 Which is a bummer........

But...

It did add the book to the reader. 😊 It's charging now, and then, I can start it soon!

Calibre Ebook Manager Improves Support for Kobo E-Readers

A new version of Calibre, the Swiss-army knife for e-book management is out, and it brings some notable new features for e-bookworms to dig into. Calibre 8.0.1 boasts improved support for Kobo e-readers, with Calibre now equipped to natively edit, view and convert Kobo’s proprietary KEPUB file format to regular EPUB files for reading on non-Kobo devices and apps (like Calibre itself). Additionally, users of Kobo devices can now use Calibre to convert EPUB to KEPUB automatically when sending books across, saving time and hassle of first converting and then sending. I’ll admit, I hadn’t heard of KEPUB before writing :sys_more_orange:
