okay, I may be slightly addicted to #Perlego. If you like (or do) more scholarly/academic #reading, you should check them out too. Publishers include the likes of @princetonupress, @Harvard University Press, @OReillyMedia@techhub.social...you get the idea.

I'm not going to share how large my "want to read" list on the site, it's slightly embarrassing. 😂

I recently finished a trial with #Perlego which I loved - but it was a few bucks more a month than #Scribd and doing some searches I saw Scribd had many of the same books, so I figured I'd give Scribd another try (it'd been a few years and they were offering me another 30 day free trial).

has anyone used #Perlego? It's an alternative to #Scribd and #AmazonKindleUnlimited for #ebooks.

I'm on a 30 day trial of Scribd now (I've used it in the past, but it's been a few years) and am not nearly as impressed.

#question of the day: anyone familiar with a #browser #extension that allows one to allowlist other extensions on specific pages/domains? For example, if one wanted to turn off #Diigo (as I do) on #Perlego (perlego.com).
