A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Kindle doesn't work with epub which is what majority of ebooks are

It does work with epub now. They changed it not long ago (afaik)

[–] Changetheview 5 points 2 years ago

Can confirm it works now (not sure when change happened; pretty sure I’ve been using since early 2022). I regularly use epub on kindle.

They did recently drop mobi (or at least threaten to - they send me an email saying they are going to drop mobi capability after I send one to my kindle).

Kindle supported file types: • .EPUB • .PDF • .RTF • .DOC, .DOCX • .HTML, .HTM • .JPG, .JPEG, .GIF, .PNG, .BMP

I email ePubs to my kindle, I'm told Amazon automatically converts them, I've had 0 issues.

But calibre can convert them anyway.

I always find you with that iconic user name around the Fediverse!

Join me in the emoji shit post club!

Also I just realized my username looks extremely different on desktop vs mobile lmao. I just see the Android version.

@mojo @protokaiser

You can convert them to azw3 with calibre. It's what I do.
