THANK YOU SEEBS ❤ ❤ ❤

and thank you @roachpatrol for recommending calibre!

in order to get our recent barnes & noble purchases onto my laptop, seebs had to go through an absurd series of contortions, including resurrecting a first-gen nook with its lithium battery swollen and about to burst, because it’s the only device we had that could transfer files to a computer.

we won’t be buying from b&n anymore. i don’t know why they’ve made it impossible to download your purchases onto something with an accessible file system – mumble mumble piracy mumble copyright idk? – but the idea that i am forbidden to access a book that i paid money for is offensive.

kindle is just as bad or worse, of course. but many small online booksellers offer epubs and pdf’s for download in a totally normal way, and audible offers epubs alongside audio files for a lot of books, so it’s not like i’ll be out of reading material.

anyway! thanks to my wizard princess’s cleverness and heroism, i am finally able to read the ancilary books while knitting. i am making seebs many socks to thank them. ❤
