Privacy versus convenience... For what I know, the most common solution to your concern would be to setup a Calibre server and access it via your Android devices. But that's obviously a tad more complex than uploading EPUBs to Google Books.

Not sure if that's the type of creativity you're looking for, but it's quite common to sell stickers on Etsy, Redbubble and similar sites. Some stores are quite successful on it.

Who said that Zlib is gone? Besides Tor, you can get access to personal domains by sending an email to blackbox [at] zlib [dot] se

I know it may sound scammy, but if you still have a Reddit account I'd go to r/zlibrary and browse the pinned megathread for more info. I really hope that this community will eventually migrate here though...

What additional arguments besides personal experience would you give to back this precision claim?

Temperature scales are arbitrary by nature, and the criteria behind their definition can be useful or not. Fahrenheit's isn't that much useful compared to Celsius' or Kelvin's.

I'm looking for a gradual transition from Reddit to Lemmy. To make things easier, I started to use Redreader. Man, I wish I'd done this switch earlier.

Redreader's dev has expressed interest on Lemmy compatibility, so when (if) this happens, I know which app I'll be using.

A little bit late to the party here. What is the reason why lemmygrad.ml is blocked?

 

Basically what the title says, after getting so much of it I might end up contributing, but I want to do it safely.

Lurking through communities related to my favorite literary genres while having Z-Lib is like walking into a candy store as a 10-year-old and being told that you can get all that you want free of charge. Of course curating a library is enjoyable lmao

I actually like the download limit that Z-Lib has for regular users. If you use it up, it moght be a good time for you to go actually read what you have downloaded.

I think that time will tell which one ends up winning the race.

What I usually do is checking for activity, in terms of recent posts, comments, and whatnot. If both show similar activity levels, I'll just subscribe to both and keep watching for developments.

It's interesting to see how the acceptance rates decrease with age, in an inverse correlation with purchasing power.

Young people are broke, and the entertainment industry is going to have a hard time adapting to this reality in a few years if things don't change.

There's also an online solution, I've tested it and it works.

I don't know what Revolt is, I just came here to brag about having the best possible username on Lemmy.
