Been switching between Literata and Vollkorn on my ereader. It’s super subjective in the end

I used it for a bit on my e-reader but decided to switch away from it. It’s quite good either way.

Thanks for this! This should maybe be posted in a separate thread in a relevant community? !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com could be an alternative, but at the same time, DeDRMing does not always equal piracy (and is a legal thing to do in many countries in cases of personal backups etc).

Great tip. Unfortunate to see that some countries lock their libraries e-book lending system into being app only. This heavily restricts what e-readers it can be used on, primarily only Boox and Meebook or similar android based e-readers. Overdrive/Libby is the best, especially due to their support for Kobo but also due to the possibility of downloading your lended books and transferring them with Adobe Digital Editions.

There are Android e-readers like Boox or Meebook though!

I’m not in the US. But from my research, it seems to not be as clear-cut as you state even in the US (e.g, https://gizmodo.com/its-perfectly-legal-to-tell-people-how-to-remove-drm-1670223538). The DMCA takedown issued to the NoDRM team was for including copyrighted LCP code from my understanding.

Either way, for this specific case, they had no legal grounds at all to threaten the guy.

It’s a common misconception that stripping DRM is illegal. If you own the books, it’s legal in most countries to strip the DRM. This method doesn’t even touch the DRM, he just extracts the content after being delivered it. Maybe it’s semantics, but it’s not the same as using the DeDRM plugin for example.

When we’ve given up on the world, given in to doomerism and nihilism, we also lose something of ourselves in return. As much as we shouldn’t turn a blind eye to the horrible things happening, so must we also remember the beautiful act of being alive and being able to experience this world. This is a huge problem with social media in general, a lot of the posts you encounter are just so negative. It’s a vicious circle. Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem :)
