I don't remember the steps, but there used to be a way to do it through Calibre. You could download your library into the Kindle desktop program, run a DRM removal tool, and have them available through Calibre.

You might have had to remove the DRM through Calibre, I'm not sure. Hopefully this gives you somewhere to start though :)

Some services will take gift cards. You find out the amount you need to pay, and convert it to your currency, buy a gift card in cash for the amount, then send the code from the gift card to the service.

You have to trust that they won't just run off with the funds, but the whole point is to pick a service that you trust in the first place.

Aren't doing terribly? Every one of them is overhanging the pavement.

What is Map Complete, and why should we use it over other map editors?

Can we make edits offline and have them upload when we get an internet connection again?

It looks interesting, and I'm going to have a poke around now, but they were the first questions that came to mind :)

On a post talking about modifying the body, you say you want a magic ring? Do I dare open the link? :o

On the bright side, you've just reminded me that I haven't watched the Christmas special yet :)

I've noticed that a lot of the reasons to upgrade now are artificial. My wife dug out an old PC to use two monitors recently, but still does the same tasks that she was doing a decade ago. The computer is ridiculously slow though because of 'updates'.

Bog standard things like checking her emails and opening Word slow the computer for nothing. Even bare Windows runs slowly because of the graphics enhancements.

Buying a handful of spare chargers is much cheaper than buying a new phone.

That's helpful, thanks :)

It was nothing to do with the phone. I tried to find one for my father to use for his computer, as he only used the internet now and then, but the SIM only plans had data restrictions on tethering.

They started off as unlimited pay as you go with prices charged by the megabyte then gigabyte, then once high data plans came in, they started to get restricted.

As I said, it's been changing, but as far as I know, there are still plans with tethering restrictions.
