kobo + calibre + annas archive = nothing else needed

True. Libby and Hoopla are also nice apps on a Kobo eReader.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Can you get Hoopla? It could be that mine is a bit too lightweight to run it, but so far I've only had Overdrive access through direct OS integration.

Do kind of wish that they had less silly names, though.

It's hard to recommend them without sounding like you're just babbling nonsense.

If you get Libby and Hoopla for your Kobo, you don't need Ploob, no matter how much Ploob has it for you.

coming up with a new name for something that isn't already trademarked can be frustrating, let alone a list of names to choose from for an executive board or committee. i totally get how people eventually end up at "yea, this name sounds dumb af, but it's unique and not already taken"

Donating to calibre and annas if you've got a few extra bucks to spare.

[–] jnod4@lemmy.ca 5 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, time, I got all the books I need and none of the time of yesteryears

Is annas better than z-lib?

[–] U7826391786239@piefed.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

pretty sure their search includes z-lib
