I'm looking for a non-amazon reader for e-books. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Open to all suggestions but ideally something that doesn't tie me into a particular platform and lets me read indie-published as well as mainstream published books.
I'm an author so have no issue paying for ebooks through online bookshops. While I am trying to avoid giving money to amazon, I am very happy to keep paying authors and publishers!

I've been using Kobo for years, and epub as my preferred format because it's universal. You can convert to epub using Calibre, which is free, and which also creates a good library on your computer. No e-reader seems to sort well. -

@beach I don't want to give you advice, but I can tell you what I do. I buy books in EPUB format (I avoid proprietary formats), preferring DRM-free ones, run them through Calibre (that's why I just say "preferring," it doesn't matter), and then do what I want with them (usually I read them on my iPad).

@informapirata @sabrinaweb71 @dark_vengeance @saxeee @ten700 @informatica e io sono anche d'accordo, ma finché non saranno d'accordo le persone che nelle aziende prendono le decisioni non cambierà nulla (purtroppo).

[twentyfive o’clock – anatemi & rifiuti urbani] gioco di specchi
@anarchia
gioco di specchi. andrea ha messo su un progetto: “italian tapes archive”. è andato in giro per archivi e centri di documentazione, ha scovato un discreto numero di audiocassette, le ha “sbobinate”, digitalizzate e https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/twentyfive-oclock-anatemi-rifiuti-urbani-gioco-di-specchi/

@rubenerd this is beautiful. A great sign of love (for the books, and for you).

@divclassbutton even when it's not for dunking, 99/100 times it's useless and a regular boost would do. I don't need to read the booster eye or down-finger emoji when the important message is the linked post.

@ShaulaEvans Maybe ZeFrank on youtube (fun facts about ...)

@ShaulaEvans The Scorpion fly has a tail that looks exactly like the stinger of a scorpion but there is no sting in this tail - only two claspers for use when mating.
