Computertruhe e. V.Unter unseren Followern befinden sich doch auch einige Menschen der schreibenden Zunft.

Und nicht nur für die reine Erstellung, sondern bspw. auch zur Validierung des Buches oder zur Konvertierung in andere Formate (PDF, HTML etc.). Eine Änderungsverfolgung mittels eines Codeverwaltungssystems wäre ebenfalls hilfreich.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FollowerPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FollowerPower</a>

Terence Eden🆕 blog! “Extracting content from an LCP "protected" ePub”As Cory Doctorow once said "Any time that someone puts a lock on something that belongs to you but won't give you the key, that lock's not there for you."But here's the thing with the LCP DRM scheme; they do give you the key! As I've written about previously, LCP mostly relies on the user…👀 Read more: <a href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/03/towards-extracting-content-from-an-lcp-protected-epub/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/03/towards-extracting-content-from-an-lcp-protected-epub/</a> ⸻ <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/debugging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#debugging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/drm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drm</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ebooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ebooks</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/epub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epub</a>

Florian 'floe' EchtlerFor obvious reasons, I'm no longer buying e-books from Amazon. I found a bunch of nice DRM-free PDFs on Thalia, but now I'm considering a book that does have DRM (publisher's requirement, I guess).Anyone has experience with de-DRMing Thalia books? (I think it's Adobe DRM, but not entirely sure.)<a href="https://hci.social/tags/amazonboycott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amazonboycott</a> <a href="https://hci.social/tags/ebooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ebooks</a>

Robert KingettAdded info on how to register for advanced listener copies after folks DM'd me.Refraining from emailing my publisher to ask if they can send me an audiobook sample of Pass the Salt so I can privately swoon over Kevin's voice without checking out a book from the library.For those *not* following me and reading this, Kevin R Free is narrating the audiobook version of Pass the Salt.<a href="https://compassiviste.com/product/pass-the-salt/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://compassiviste.com/product/pass-the-salt/</a>Advanced listener copies should be ready by end of March/early April.

TinaIch habe in den letzten Jahren <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amazon</a> nur noch dazu benutzt um <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/eBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eBooks</a> zu kaufen. Das ging einfach: eBook kaufen -> automatischer Download zum Kindle 4 -> Kindle an Computer anschließen -> eBook mit Calibre sichern (DRM ist dann auch weg). Das geht auch weiterhin, aber ich will eigentlich nicht mehr. Den Kindle will auch nicht ersetzen, der funktioniert nämlich noch einwandfrei.Wo kauft man am besten DRM-freie eBooks? Umwandeln ins mobi-Format und kopieren auf den Kindle macht Calibre.

Elizabeth (H.) BonesteelNook friends: For no particular reason, ARKHANGELSK will remain 50% off at Barnes and Noble through Friday March 15. If you buy today, March 7, you'll need the coupon: BNPARKH50. From March 8 through March 15, the list price will be $3.49.I like this book. It stars 2 women over 40. It has a cold planet and a broken starship and murder and art and tea, and even though it wanders into some pretty dark places, it has a happy ending.
