New #Blog post: Moving our #ebooks to #Booklore
Over the weekend, I saw someone else's blogpost about Booklore and got nerd sniped by the mention of working Kobo sync support.
This week I've been playing around with migrating our book collection over to Booklore along with getting it working with a Kobo

I have always loved a good story: around the dinner table, in a book, on the screen! Imagination is free, writing is hard, storytelling is EVERYTHING! I've traveled quite a lot, love nature and fine dining!

News Summary: Amazon Launches Immersion Reading in Audible, Linking Audiobooks and E-books
Audio continues to dominate the news. And after Spotify and others hogged the limelight last week, Amazon is determined not to be left out of the frame. They have just launched what they are calling "immersion reading" in Audible.
The post News Summary: Amazon Launches Immersion Reading in Audible, Linking Audiobooks and E-books appeared first on The Self-Publishing Advice Center.

Sosehr ich meine #Bibliothek auch liebe, die haben leider nur die echt grottige Übersetzung von Das Rad der Zeit.
Darum hab ich jetzt den Schritt getan und den Vorteil von ebooks genutzt, der auch so ein gigantisches Werk in eine handliche Größe bringt (zumindest gewichtsmäßig)
Das schwierigste dabei war eine wirklich DRM-freie Version vom TOR zu bekommen:
https://torpublishinggroup.com/the-complete-wheel-of-time/?isbn=9780765376862&format=ebook
Es gibt auch eine von Little Brown Book was wohl einfach der UK Verlag ist. Trotzdem hat mich dieser Amazon prime sticker abgeschreckt bei denen abgeschreckt, da wollte ich doch beim Ursprungsverlag bleiben.
Am Ende hab icb es dann bei Kobo gekauft (weil dort DRM freies epub) und es dann auf mein Pocketbook gezogen, auch wenn Kobo den Download button gut versteckt und mir stattdessen ihre Webview oder App aufquatschen will.
Sollten e-books nicht alles bequemer machen?

For my birthday I got a colour e-reader (Kobo Libra Colour). The obvious 1st book to read was The Neverending Story with its two colour text, red for our world green for Fantastica. But there don’t seem to be any ebooks recreating those original editions, they just use italic text. And all the illustrations are awful quality black and white.
Challenge accepted.
I’ve edited the text to be multi colour, and scanned illustrations from my old paper copy!
