Attempting ereader apps.
Books (native to iOS): I looked at it and is has the same things I didn't like in iBooks (One of my most hated things is that it loves to link books you own to things you can buy via apple. I hate this and it feels way, way too much like creepy surveillance).
Boox: I love the sleek interface that includes the option of no page turn animations at all (and some of you might too!) but three big problems for me:
- can't edit or see major meta data categories that aren't title& author and it's nice to have things like "series" and "series number" for someone who wants to go back and reread
- sorting is only by date, author, or title (I like to sometimes resort by amount read so I can see what I haven't read or what I haven't made much progress in)
- it hides the time/battery info on the iPad unless you tap, and when I'm in a reading binge I don't tap to check, I need that
- (minor, could live without) I prefer if it would show pages by chapter and not by the total book, it's much easier on my brain to tell myself "I will stop at the end of this chapter" when I know how much is left to enjoy, percentage or pages in book only aren't ideal...

If anyone has any other suggestions for ereader apps that work in iOS I'd love to hear them. Stanza was my first (and favorite) one, I moved to kybooks 2 when I had to. I could go with kybooks 3, but even their minimal ads annoy me, however I don't really want to pay for it since it has some quirks I don't like (why can't books be partial numbers in a series to indicate short stories/extras?!?!?)

Halloween hasn’t even arrived, but Russia’s moral guardians are already on the offensive. Here’s more on this year’s campaign against the “dangerous” Western holiday.

@GustavinoBevilacqua non vedo nessun motivo per usare giornali arrotolati, anzi, mi sembra un'ottima soluzione!

Perché sprecare cavo CAT-5 (che poi va pure crimpato) quando posso usare un paio di prolunghe per telefoni fissi?
Poi saldo il doppino al posto del pulsante di un mouse morto e guardo quando è cliccato, senza bisogno di WiFi e altre amenità.
Interrogare il pulsante di un secondo mouse USB non è una cosa complicata (meno che realizzare un'interfaccia per porta parallela, che non esiste più da anni).
Scommetto che ora @valhalla mi picchia col giornale arrotolato… 🗞️
