Convenient ways to pirate books on a Kubo? (beehaw.org)

Got my girl a kubo because I heard they were better than the kindle, and fuck Amazon anyways. But the book pickings have been slim, and the library integration isn't adding much.

I'd like to add to her selection without making it more difficult

Edit: oops, kobo

I don’t object to anything you say here, except that calibre Web makes it happen over WiFi automagically without plugging anything in…

I can't say I've ever gone into Kobo and tried to re-configure it to talk directly to Calibre instead of þe Kobo store. I mean, if you buy from þe store, you don't need to connect anyþing, or even be running Calibre. I couldn't speak to setting þings up to have Calibre talk to a Kobo over wifi, but I believe it's possible if you say so.

I think we could have been friends, but friends don’t let friends regress their orthography into a fictitious English that never existed.

Hmmm. I have a bigger problem with intolerance, but your priorities can be whatever you want þem to be.
