I don’t hate the concept of ebooks per se but what bothers me is how our society is shifting from actually owning entertainment in tangible forms like books and CDs and DVDs and game discs, to having to download everything so basically we’ll get to the point where everything is intangible and all of our property can be taken away by a website crash.

#yeah this is mostly the problem#and stuff like. ebooks that can only be read on one companys app#music that can only be streamed from one place and doesnt let you actually download the files#stuff like that#like sometimes its like you cant tangibly have anything even your own digital file#idk where i was going with this but yeah its capitalism (via @ouidamforeman)

Paper books still have their uses.

Amazon recently changed their file format a few months ago, and the old Epubor doesn’t support it anymore, just the ultimate. And I think it’s possible to use Calibre extensions for the new files, but it’s an incredibly unwieldy process.

Another reason to support indie platforms like Gumroad which not only pay their authors more (my $1.99 books give me $1.53 there compared with Amazon’s 70 cents) but often give you an actual downloadable pdf file that is yours, instead of something the site can sneak back into and delete.

I just wanna point out that all this ebook licensing bullshit applies to public libraries as well as private users. So theres a whole shitstorm of Discourse in the GLAM world over ebooks because sometimes libraries cant afford to keep up the subscription to the company and then the company will delete the entire holdings that the library had. Unlike paper books where they would have been able to KEEP the things they paid for. Licensing bullshit is also the reason for restrictions on how many ebook “copies” can be “checked out” by users.

It should 100% be illegal for companies to make you give them your payment information when you sign up for a free trial version of their product. It is not necessary and there is no good fucking reason for them to do it. It’s blatantly just so they can steal forgetful customers’ money.

oh hey, thanks for reminding me to cancel a free trial i had going on.

Reblog to save an unnecessary charge cause it also reminded me to cancel a trial lol

This is an absolutely FASCINATING cultural snapshot.

The one well-aged bit i don't think i can ever stop doing is "character name series surname".

Ship dynamics are always like Sunshine and Sunshine protector~ Cinnamon roll and their grumpy one 🤗 Well what about 2 cunts. They're both cunts and that's the dynamic. cunt4cunt.

Coca Cola flavored Oreos taste like if you could eat clipart

I think they add an important element of randomness to the environment. My father in law bought 6 or 7 boxes of the Selena Gomez Oreos so he could set a Selena Gomez Oreo alarm to go off mid workday and then say to his coworkers, "Oh, my Selena Gomez Oreo alarm is going off!" and unearth from his locker his 6 or 7 boxes of Selena Gomez Oreos so he and his coworkers could distribute them around the neonatal ICU ward where they work. He said it livened up an otherwise extremely dreary day.
