If they tied a bookwyrm comments section to an ISBN number for example then anybody/site could easily have it embedded to make it a universal tool rather than specifically connected to a piracy site.

Yeah, it’s silly and odd and likely done to push customers towards formats that they have greater control over.

Those epubs that aren’t really epubs, randomly disallowing azw3 files (that they support officially!!!) from being downloaded directly from the kindle’s built in browser and other restrictive behaviour are part of this. That’s why I’m eventually looking to enable epubs on kindle once the people at mobileread find a way to do it. Apparently calibre can be set up to send files too via email so that’s another option.

They’re not though. They only do over the cloud conversions from epub to an amazon proprietary format, that can make the covers or formatting go awry.

I’m envisioning Bookwyrm behaving as a comments section for anna’s archive (possibly all/any decentralised book repositary), but they’d be reviews instead. I’m reminded of discus or facebook that you often get embedded on certain sites.

YouTube does change how videos are accessed so the apps need to update every time that happens.

I think this is what has happened.

Grayjay from Louis Rossman’s company is really good - you can even log in with youtube etc. It looks amazing. It looks like a Tachiyomi for Video and Livestreaming!!! You can add other sources.

I only recently stopped using it. And a lot of content on the internet, expecially ones for download use rar part files to split it up and host freely.

Seems unkind lol.

I’ve been using it for years and not been banned.
