Publisher Unbound goes into administration. They lost me when they stopped offering DRM-free downloads of ebooks. Even after buyers preordered ebooks on exactly those terms. Also this seems a *curious* plan to set up a new publisher, with the original founders. https://www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound-goes-into-administration-as-archna-sharma-and-john-mitchinson-launch-new-publisher #publishing #books #bookstodon #Unbound #DRMfree

Last day of the #Smashwords #ebookweek25 sale!

It ends 11.59pm Saturday 8 March Pacific Time (which is 3.59pm Sunday in Perth, Australia, and that’s the last timezone help I can give anyone 😂)

It’s a great chance to stock up on DRM-free ebooks — browse those two hashtags to check out the huge range of Mastodon indie authors with their books on sale.

Kristin found that she couldn’t simply move her ebook files from one device to another. She couldn’t download her books from the Amazon account she bought them through.

When she did eventually manage to access the book files themselves, that was only the beginning of the journey to getting them on her lovely new Kobo.

Foliate is a fantastic ebook reader for Linux.

I use it for checking the formatting for ebooks I stock at @scarletferret or to quickly check boos I store in my Libreture library.

It has lots of handy reading tools, and is well worth installing if you ever handle ebooks.
