Hi! My kids were just listening to the first chapter of A Christmas Carol offered on 24 Days of Yoto. Are they seriously not offering the rest of this as a digital download? Please tell me I'm missing it. The processing/shipping time of physical cards is not awesome to my city (like weeks) so for seasonal things like this it doesn't make sense for us unless I plan way ahead. I can't imagine they would miss... Source: almost 3 years ago
Hello all, does anyone know of a platform specifically made to cater to schools? I think Audible used to have one, but it's either discontinued entirely, or no longer available in Europe. I've found a couple made within educational systems (e.g. UK system) but not available to other countries. The closest I've come so far is libro.fm for business - waiting to hear back from them to see if it's suitable. I'm truly... Source: almost 3 years ago

Whenever I buy something, I start by trying to find a DRM-free version. ebooks.com has a whole section devoted to this (https://www.ebooks.com/en-us/drm-free/) and https://libro.fm exclusively sells DRM-free. Failing that, I mostly get things from my local library (via Libby). Conveniently, those all have weak DRM, so one could still build a personal library that way. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
A slight quibble: > They require mandatory DRM for every book sold, locking those books forever to Amazon's monopoly platform. If you break up with Amazon, you have to throw away your entire audiobook library. While it's true that your purchases are tied to your Amazon account, they are not tied to your audible subscription (if you have one). That's a nice touch. Even better, the DRM is trivially easy to... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
An Android tablet and the CoolReader app. For me, it's simply the best eReader experience available. It's incredibly customisable. The only downside is it doesn't support PDF or AZW3, both of which can be reformatted to your preferred file type with Calibre anyway. Source: almost 4 years ago
Cool reader is also another option https://sourceforge.net/projects/crengine/. Source: over 5 years ago
