Coreo Jones (coreopsismajor)Then there's my epub formatting gig: I make them clean, as lightweight as possible, and pretty, for all the major ebook distributors. Kindle, draft2digital, you name it.

Kit AuthorGot my tablet set up to ease out of the Kindle ecosystem. But when I went to download a book from calibre it wanted to open it in Google Books.So what app do y'all use to read epubs on an Android device because I don't like the idea of uploading my books to Google Books to read.<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Ebooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ebooks</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Epub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Epub</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/EReaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EReaders</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FediHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediHelp</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/TechHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechHelp</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a>

Matthew SloweI spotted this on an <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amazon</a> page for a book and had a brief hope that they might have started literally meaning "any device" and distributing <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/EPUB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPUB</a> or something "open".Alas, no, it's not "any device", it's "any device we support the Kindle app on"... which is not the same thing.The <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DRM</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Kindle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kindle</a> ecosystem is not free and open like a real book is.
