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.

https://www.convert2epub.com/extension/

FEATURES

• Add the current page from the toolbar popup or the right-click menu
• Keep a running reading list; pages stay queued until you're ready to save
• Drag to reorder chapters before you export
• Give the book a custom title, or let it use the first page's title
• Cover image and in-article images are pulled in automatically
• Everything runs locally in your browser, no account, no external server
• Works great with long-form articles, blog posts, and documentation pages

HOW IT WORKS

1. Browse to a page you want to save and click "Add this page"
2. Repeat for every page you want in the book
3. Click "Save as EPUB"; your browser downloads a ready-to-read .epub file

Please try and tell me if you like it.

I've always been fascinated by the logic behind ghosts.

If they're able to pass through walls, doors, cars, etc... then surely the ground shouldn't be any different.

Which got me wondering:

What happens if gravity still affects them?

That little thought eventually became Nexus of Regret, my latest short story.

Two strangers meet on a forest road after a fatal accident. They're forced to confront the fact that they're dead, but that's only the beginning.

The story explores guilt, regret, self-forgiveness, and some of the ideas we carry around about what might happen after we die.

I'm deliberately not going to explain too much more. I think stories like this are more interesting when you can discover the rules yourself.

I'm curious what you think, though.

If ghosts could pass through the ground, would gravity eventually pull them somewhere? And if so... where?

Nexus of Regret is now available as an EPUB for anyone interested.

Firstly, I want to thank this community (and r/KavitaManga ) for their support over the last couple of months as I've built this app, and for those who purchased the lifetime pro license. Thank you!! 🙏

This 2.1 release is really a culmination of your user feedback and requests, starting with -

• CBZ panel previews - Many of you wanted to check out the panel feature on CBZs before deciding whether to get pro, so now you can read the first 7 pages of ALL your CBZ files in the free tier

• Scrolling fixes - Scroll now successfully navigates chapter changes, something it did sporadically before. You can no longer accidentally swipe left or right during scroll, and you can resume reading from the page you tapped to stop scrolling

• Manga support - available on a per-book basis. Hit the Aa button when reading a comic to switch between Regular and Manga modes. Manga reads right to left, top to bottom, tap left to advance. Note that manga panel detection is still a work in progress, and is an area I plan to improve on in future releases.

* iPad fixes - Margin functionality has been added so that the app doesn't leave large margin gaps, especially in landscape mode. Which leads me to - two-pane reading for iPads is finally available!

• Confirmed HTTP/HTTPS connectivity rules. Sutra follows Apple's networking rules: unencrypted (HTTP) connections only work for local addresses (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, .local) or a Tailscale .ts.net hostname. A raw Tailscale IP (100.x.x.x) doesn't qualify - use its .ts.net name instead, or enable HTTPS on your server. Anything else needs real HTTPS to connect; this is an iOS restriction, not Sutra's. Having said that, I have now included a URL checker when entering your library URL during connect which should give you more immediate feedback

• Note - I didn't include KOReader sync integration in this release. I built it, but there are too many testing pathways that still need fixing before it's ready to ship. I'll come back to it in a future release

New features

• Stats page - A much-requested feature - you can now track your reading hours, session counts, and how many hours you've read per book

• WebDAV support - keeping with the theme of letting users read without hosting a server, you can now enable WebDAV on a Windows/Mac/Linux folder and add it to Sutra to read from

And tons of other bug fixes. We've also improved panel accuracy from 90% to 92% on our test cohort, thanks to a new hybrid panel detection strategy. Which brings me to the most requested feature here - Android!

Up Next

I've started work on the Android port for Sutra - wish me luck! I'll do a future post asking for testing volunteers shortly. If you'd like to follow along, you can subscribe to the newsletter for updates. Thanks again for all the feedback and support!

Hello everyone, I'm currently looking for ARC readers for my upcoming horror novel, Where Fear Smiles! Details below:

Would you forgive your best friend if she was responsible for ruining your life?

A whispered rumour draws a group of students into the dense forests of coastal Brazil: a lost Indigenous artifact, hidden for centuries and promising academic glory.

While Leah’s colleagues are determined to claim it, she only agrees to the trek because she can’t bear the thought of being left behind, and forces her best friend Charlotte to go with her for support against her dark thoughts.

What was meant to be an escape from the weight of the academic semester, quickly it turns into a test of endurance. The deeper they push into the forest, the darker Leah begins to dream. When they finally uncover what they came for, the discovery reveals something far more terrifying than any of them imagined.

A demon born of nightmares is unleashed, and with it, carnage.

Now the survivors must find a way to drive the nightmare back to its realm before society is doomed to never dream again. But as the forest closes in, the greatest horror isn't the ancient evil — it's watching a lifelong trust begin to rot.

Sanctuary's obsession has reached the end of the line.

Blinded by a romantic fairytale love story that only exists inside her head, she'll burn every bridge on the way down. Her friend group has had enough of her insanity, one by one they detach themselves.

But Sanctuary's eyes are focused only on the horizon of which she will never see the dawn.

The vocalist of The Vampire Ashriel, Ashley Ozde himself.

Soon enough, reality shatters into delusions and hallucinations.

All that remains are ghosts, violence, and the echoed screams of the past and present.

And above all, her single minded determination to make him see things her way, no matter the fatal concequences.

Only one show is playing tonight folks, and it's on the Killing Room floor.

Be sure to pick up The Vampire Scriptures: Nyxhaven too! O Death picks up literally a few seconds after Nyxhaven ends!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX2ZVYKB

I recommend listening to O Death By Ralph Stanley and the haunted version by Bobby Bass, while reading the chapters titled O Death, Hellcare General, Hellcare Hospice, Mama?, SKREEEE!! And especially Not For Long

The lyrics to a rendition of O Death, by me is within as well.

I also recommend listening to that song that goes 'I've got a secret, can you keep it? Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead' in the chapters that Ache comes over to try to comfort Sanctuary even though she's done nothing but treat him like dogshit.

Here is a hint, you thought her blowing up at him in Hot Chronic back in book 1 was bad? This is a thousand times worse.

"Trick your vampire romance enthusiast friends into reading this train crash into the sun, if they also like Poppy Z Brite's Lost Souls, they should be fine! If not, they were never really your friends in the first place" ~ Dirge.

"Statistically speaking, TD is exaggerating for promotional purposes, however you may have a 97% chance of enjoyment if you grew up watching lizards bake to death in the heat on a backwoods summer road" ~ Quanta

"Shut up QO, don't to listen her, she's just too much of a calculator to understand, you're here for the trauma, the gore, the pretty kpop themed vampire triplet brothers torturing a pregnant chick in a hospital they made out of milk crates and t-shirts!" ~ Coven

"MC be quiet. Anyway, if you want to watch our former friend destroy herself go ahead" ~ Red

"My dear sibling RQ is correct, Sanctuary's been so insufferable, we're all done, and we mean that" ~ Luscious

Signs: 'I think it's kind of mean, LV' ~ GG

"It's not mean GG, it's just, karma. Where's HA?" ~ Noct.

"Well FN, Ache's de-MMMFH!" ~ Coven

"NO SPOILERS!, tata now darlings!" ~ Luscious

A couple of threads here have asked for books like Carmilla, so in case it's useful, the text is public domain and free.

Le Fanu's wife Susanna died in 1858 and he more or less stopped leaving the house. He wrote at night, in bed, on scraps of paper, usually starting around 2am by candlelight. Dublin started calling him the Invisible Prince because he was so rarely seen. Carmilla came out of that stretch, in 1872, twenty five years before Dracula. Stoker's discarded opening chapter is set in Styria, same as Carmilla.

It's about 100 pages, so it's a one evening book.

Being upfront: the link is my own reader. Free, no signup, no ads. If you'd rather go to the source it's Project Gutenberg ebook 10007.

I’ve been reading much lately on my Basic (also have a current PW) and appreciating its small size and weight. I still use my iPhone 14 Pro Max when out and about, but I didn’t realize the difference in size until I put them next to each other.

Another big consideration is the weight. The iPhone is 233 grams (8.22 ounces) and the Basic 158 grams (5.56 ounces). You can definitely feel the difference.

(I turned up the light on the Basic in the photograph and the Kindle app on my iPhone is set on my usual Bookerly on beige. Strangely, I don’t miss the warm front light on my Basic, and I don’t use it at all on my PW.)
