I’ve recently purchased a Kobo Libra Color (recommended through a friend) and I’m struggling to find a way to purchase books that’s exclusively sold on Amazon. Where can I source eBooks that aren’t available on the Kobo store?
Any tips on how to own the eBooks I purchase? and a way to transfer them? Kobo/Kindle
So I have a book in PDF form that I really wanna read, but PDF is so clumsy, I read currently in Apple Books, planning on buying a pocketbook verse.
I just figured out that PDF to EPUB converters are a thing, I feel like they will be kinda shit though. Has anyone used any, did it work well? If not, what went wrong?
I've always loved the story of the Million Dollar Homepage as the creator made the website to pay for his tuition fees so I got inspired from him and made this to pay for mine. Story: I finished my masters in CS with a first class degree but couldn’t graduate this July because I couldn’t pay the fees.
Anyways,
How it works: you buy a rectangle of pixels and fill it with pixel art, text, or an image. The twist is you don't pick where it goes. The highest paying tile sits at the dead center of the canvas, and everyone else spirals outward by how much they paid. So your position isn't permanent if someone outbids you, the whole canvas re-sorts and your tile physically slides outward. Amounts are hidden on the canvas itself, so you can only guess who paid what from where they sit. There's a top 10 leaderboard that does show the numbers.
Browsing is free, you can pan and zoom the whole thing without an account: thepixelorbit.com
Happy to answer anything about the packing algorithm or how it's built. Also genuinely want to hear what's confusing about it I've stared at this too long to see it clearly anymore.
Hi! I have never used an e-reader before but due to my fast-paced lifestyle, I think I could benefit (and enjoy!!) having one (I want to get out of my reading slump too!)
Here’s what matters to me
I want to know your experiences/suggestions on which one you think is better based on your experience and based on my profile
Hi everyone,
After months of searching, i never found a beautiful - Calibre connected, feature packed reader with a nice UI/UX design. They either looked dated, had subscriptions, or didn't really work with calibre. So I made one for myself, and I want to share it with you all for free and no in app purchases. Am i crazy for this? maybe lol.
Here are a few features:
- Calibre Integration with both desktop and web version (can also import EPUBs & PDF's from files)
- Highlights and reading progress sync back to calibre
- Annotate/Draw notes with apple pencil
- Share/export highlights and notes
- Listen to your book with natural voices
- Customize paper color and add any font
- iCloud sync
- No subscription and no data collected
- and much more
-only IOS now - working on an android port.
Let me know if you face any bugs/issues, and curious to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

Hey people,
If anyone saw my other post about converting scanned PDFs to EPUB, welcome back. I implemented a lot of features based on the feedback I got from the users, so check it out if you want. Anyways,
After building that, my friends said to me that they read a lot of stuff online[articles, newsletters, blogs] and bookmark them. They wanted a tool to read them offline, just the way they read their book, with a clean structure.
So I built a Chrome extension.

Oiii! Esse vai ser meu primeiro e-reader e estou procurando algumas opiniões.
Estou olhando os modelos da XTEINK porque gosto muito do tamanho pequeno e dos botões físicos. Estou principalmente entre o X4 e X4 Classic.
O X4 é o que mais gostei, porque tem tela de 4,3", botões físicos, não tem touch e nem luz. Eu não faço muita questão dessas funções.
Minha única preocupação é que o X4 foi descontinuado. Não sei se ainda vale a pena comprar agora e fico com medo de problemas com atualizações e suporte no futuro.
O X4 Classic é bem difícil de encontrar aqui no Brasil e, com impostos e frete, encontrei por volta de R$600, no mais barato e também é global.
Nesse preço, também estou pensando em comprar um Kindle. Um Kindle novo custa cerca de R$899 aqui, então estou pensando em esperar a Black Friday para ver se aparece alguma promoção.
Então estou em dúvida entre:
Como esse será meu primeiro e-reader, gostaria muito de ouvir a opinião de quem já tem ou já usou o X4, pleeeaaaseeee.
Vocês comprariam o X4 hoje mesmo ele tendo sido descontinuado ou esperaria Promo do Kindle? Como é o suporte e as atualizações da XTEINK?
