@Qwaint The Kobo is great! Big beefy online bookstore. And you can config it to turn off entirely after an interval, which makes it slow to start but preserves battery like the Kindle doesn't to my knowledge. I have both.
Added both Whetstone ⚔️ and Wayfinder 🚀 magazines to the list of DRM-free bookshops. 💜
Whetstone (pulp sword & sorcery) is going on hiatus until next year, but Spiral Tower Press have just released the first issue of Wayfinder (pulp space opera) to keep you busy.
Mal wieder neues Futter für die Leseratten: 37 weitere #eBooks sind bei https://ebooks.qumran.org/ eingetroffen und liegen zum Stöbern und Schmökern bereit. Darunter einige Kinderbücher. Ich wünsche angenehmen Lesegenuss!
