If they tied a bookwyrm comments section to an ISBN number for example then anybody/site could easily have it embedded to make it a universal tool rather than specifically connected to a piracy site.

I enjoyed the first one. Haven't got round to looking at the second one. Can't remember why I decided not to watch when it was released...

Yeah, it's silly and odd and likely done to push customers towards formats that they have greater control over.

Those epubs that aren't really epubs, randomly disallowing azw3 files (that they support officially!!!) from being downloaded directly from the kindle's built in browser and other restrictive behaviour are part of this. That's why I'm eventually looking to enable epubs on kindle once the people at mobileread find a way to do it. Apparently calibre can be set up to send files too via email so that's another option.

They're not though. They only do over the cloud conversions from epub to an amazon proprietary format, that can make the covers or formatting go awry.

I'm envisioning Bookwyrm behaving as a comments section for anna's archive (possibly all/any decentralised book repositary), but they'd be reviews instead. I'm reminded of discus or facebook that you often get embedded on certain sites.

You sound sarcastic lol. Maybe its because I follow a lot of artists who have similar concerns.

I would have thought this was common knowledge. I suspect these redditors just don’t put any effort into recall or thinking in general.

No you dimwit. I read the papers. Normal people do do that. Dimwit.

Well this will fix the various social crises in that country for sure.
