@ronsboy67 @ladymondegreen @HepCatJack @evanpeterjones @bookstodon admittedly, #Mobipocket is dead and #azw3 is a proprietary "#fuckshitstack" solely designed as a means to enforce draconian #DRM...

Like with #OOXML & #MicrosoftOffice, there is no good or rational reason to use it.

Lazyness of users never is a good reason!

Bugmother Broodcast #0007 - "Filamentous" is now available for free download by patrons! Get it while it's hot!

A buck-fiddy buy-in is ridiculously cheap to snag #7 and get caught up with the other 6, plus whatever else is lying around!

👉 #Amazon Kindle (both an old one and a newer Paperwhite); wi-fi, USB and Whispersync interfaces: sigh. Where to start?

No #EPUB, of course; only stupid #MOBI. I have to use #Calibre to convert stuff (doesn’t always works well), then I can send to the Kindle via its special e-mail address, or copy over USB. Also: #AZW3, supposed to be an improved format, better for Amazon devices… but not allowed as a format to be sent over e-mail; only USB in that case. Why??

I want to classify my documents in directories, thank you. Copy, move, delete at will. But there’s just one gigantic Documents directory, and everything thrown in there.

Notes and highlights: I can only share them (export, send by e-mail) for certain types of docs, but not others (format? DRM? bought on Amazon?).

…not to mention the whole opaque and annoying #DRM thing and the “you are not buying books, just borrowing them temporarily from Amazon” thing. Switching from one #Kindle to another, trying to share a document with friends, registering or deregistering an owner… those are all miserable experiences.
