Oh,I think you’re right. They have their Calibre plug-in which is open source I think but I think in my head I conflated that with the whole app. My bad.

There’s a few classic Star Wars games that don’t get talked about as much that are great. Galactic battlegrounds is an age of empire 2 clone with Star Wars skins and stories. I played the crap out of this one over the years. Fun campaigns and tons of fan made missions out 5err too. But a ton of the old Star Wars games are fun if you are a fan. Freelancer is a PC game that I don’t think you can even buy any more which was a fun space sim from back in the day and holds up somewhat. Star Trek also had a bunch of interesting games in the early aughts worth checking out if you’re so inclined.

I use BookFusion. It’s a paid service but syncs the library and progress across platforms. Integrated with Calibre too, which I saw you mentioned you use in a different comment. Works great for me, but good luck finding something that works for you.

Yeah this is all over. Here's another one about Io9 publishing an AI article with tons of mistakes and no chance to even edit it. Not sure who thought it would be a good idea. AI can be very hit or miss on first go and needs editing before use at the very least.

Very true. However in the less urban areas there is often well water which varies by jurisdiction from drinkable to toxic (even flammable!) Also some places in the US have water that is unsafe to use even if it was boiled. Usually water is handled on the local level and can be different depending on the local government’s ability, wisdom, and funding.

BookFusion is cool. It also has a calibre plugin so you can upload directly to it if you use Calibre. No idea how they are privacy wise but the sync is perfect across multiple devices and systems. It is not open source but it does what you want and has paid levels. Here’s the link: https://www.bookfusion.com/
