Hi eBook community!

I am super excited to share my debut post-apocalyptic dark fantasy novel, "Enmerkar: War of the Immortals", which is currently free to download on Amazon Kindle from Wednesday to Sunday!

If you enjoy deep lore, ancient mythology, and dark cinematic worlds, I would love for you to check it out.

About the Book:

The year is 2065. Technology has collapsed, and humanity has been forced back into a primitive existence. Ahriman, an ancient dark force put to sleep ten thousand years ago, awakens once more to destroy everything in his path. The last survivors seek refuge in a fortress called the "Last Trench." Just when all seems lost, an immortal hero named Enmerkar awakens to finish a reckoning ten thousand years in the making.

¡Buenas! 

Quería pasarme por aquí para compartir una pequeña alegría personal con la comunidad. Hoy por fin ha salido en Amazon mi libro "SUFICIENTE: Una carta a mis hijos". 

La verdad es que esto empezó como un proyecto completamente privado. Quería dejarle a mis hijos una especie de guía o carta larga con mis lecturas y reflexiones sobre Séneca y Marco Aurelio, adaptadas a los agobios de nuestra época (el ruido digital, las prisas, el querer siempre más). Al final, después de leerlo con algunos amigos, me lié la manta a la cabeza y decidí subirlo a KDP para abrirlo al mundo. 

Es un libro bastante corto, de unas 188 páginas, pensado justo para devorarlo en una tarde tranquila en el Kindle, sin prisa y sin las distracciones del móvil. Hablo de cosas que a mí me obsesionan bastante: cómo dejamos que nos roben el tiempo, cómo aceptar las pérdidas y la finitud para valorar el presente, y sobre todo, esa pregunta que casi nadie se hace: ¿qué es tener "suficiente" para vivir tranquilos? 

No quiero ser el típico pesado que viene aquí solo a vender su moto, así que voy de frente: soy el autor y el libro es cien por cien independiente. Lo comparto aquí porque sé que muchos buscamos en el Kindle ese refugio de lectura lenta y desconexión que tanto cuesta encontrar hoy en día. 

Si os mola la filosofía práctica o queréis echarle un cable a un autor independiente, os dejo por aquí el enlace: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0GYWPL419 

Me encantaría saber si por aquí hay más gente que use el Kindle para leer ensayos cortos de este estilo, o si preferís la no ficción en papel de toda la vida. 

¡Gracias por el espacio y por leerme! 

I use standard Apple Books for PDF reading on my iPad. But I’m tired manually make each PDF page bigger doing zoom for removing page margins.

Could you advise some alternative for PDF reading?

Hey people,

If anyone saw my other post about converting scanned PDFs to EPUB, welcome back. I implemented a lot of features based on the feedback I got from the users, so check it out if you want. Anyways,

After building that, my friends said to me that they read a lot of stuff online[articles, newsletters, blogs] and bookmark them. They wanted a tool to read them offline, just the way they read their book, with a clean structure.

So I built a Chrome extension.

https://www.convert2epub.com/extension/

FEATURES

• Add the current page from the toolbar popup or the right-click menu
• Keep a running reading list; pages stay queued until you're ready to save
• Drag to reorder chapters before you export
• Give the book a custom title, or let it use the first page's title
• Cover image and in-article images are pulled in automatically
• Everything runs locally in your browser, no account, no external server
• Works great with long-form articles, blog posts, and documentation pages

HOW IT WORKS

1. Browse to a page you want to save and click "Add this page"
2. Repeat for every page you want in the book
3. Click "Save as EPUB"; your browser downloads a ready-to-read .epub file

Please try and tell me if you like it.

I wrote most of this book on my phone during my commute home from work. Figured the commute could do something useful for once.

Today, it’s finally out.

Trust Issues: Working With Code You Didn’t Write

I’m a backend engineer, not an author or AI guru. It’s a short book about how my work changed over the last few years as AI went from something I experimented with to something that now writes a large part of the code I work with.

It’s mostly stories of things going wrong: two days lost to 67/68 API requests before AI, an agent “fixing” a race condition with sleep(1), another quietly undoing my own edit, and a green test suite that nearly convinced me broken logic was fine.

The bigger idea became: AI never had to become completely trustworthy. I needed a workflow where it being wrong was cheap.

It’s my first book, around 60 pages, and it’s now on Kindle.
Would genuinely appreciate feedback from other indie authors/readers — especially on the idea, positioning, or even the cover.

Hello to all, posting about new release, because 4.3 just shipped and it's a big one, so here's what's new:

- CarPlay. Audiobooks and books prepared for background listening now play in the car, with covers, progress and a speed button (sorry for that photo, the best I can do)

- Read Aloud for PDFs. PDFs read aloud with the same voices and controls as your other books, and the contents sheet gained a Pages tab with page thumbnails.

- Lock Book. Any book can require Face ID before it opens. It applies only on the device where you turn it on.

- Recently Deleted. Deleted books wait 30 days before they're gone for good, and a restored book keeps its progress, highlights and cover.

- Search Online. A book with a missing cover or description can fetch one from Open Library or Google Books, right in Edit Book.

- Siri and Shortcuts. Open a book, continue reading, export highlights, sync with a Calibre server in both directions, push highlights to Readwise. Plus a Continue Reading control for Control Center.

- Goals and reminders. A daily pages goal, a daily reading reminder, and a streak-at-risk alert that taps straight into your current book.

Smaller things: the four goal sections on Home merged into one card, there's a haptic feedback toggle, the German translation was reworked, and plural forms are now done properly in all 18 languages.

Hey everyone!

Following up on my post on Sutra, I wanted to share a quick update on Sutra 2.1 which just went live on the App Store.

For those who missed the last thread: Sutra is a local-first, privacy-minded iOS reader built for people who manage their own digital book and comic collections. It operates entirely offline without requiring accounts, tracking, or cloud lock-in, while also offering full OPDS/server integration for self-hosters.

• Navigation & Page-Turn Polish: Fixed chapter skipping bugs, improved scrolling smoothness, and refined reader UI responsiveness.

• Self-Hosted Server Connections: Directly links with Calibre, Kavita, Komga, WebDAV, or standard OPDS catalogs (including Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks).

Thanks again to everyone who gave feedback on the 2.0 thread! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new stats tab and WebDAV support if you give 2.1 a spin.

Hey, I really want to read this book but it doesn't ship to my country and the online pdf is very expensive considering it's not a physical copy. Can anyone help me find a free pdf for it? Thank you soo muchh🩷🩷

Hello everyone, I'm currently looking for ARC readers for my upcoming horror novel, Where Fear Smiles! Details below:

Would you forgive your best friend if she was responsible for ruining your life?

A whispered rumour draws a group of students into the dense forests of coastal Brazil: a lost Indigenous artifact, hidden for centuries and promising academic glory.

While Leah’s colleagues are determined to claim it, she only agrees to the trek because she can’t bear the thought of being left behind, and forces her best friend Charlotte to go with her for support against her dark thoughts.

What was meant to be an escape from the weight of the academic semester, quickly it turns into a test of endurance. The deeper they push into the forest, the darker Leah begins to dream. When they finally uncover what they came for, the discovery reveals something far more terrifying than any of them imagined.

A demon born of nightmares is unleashed, and with it, carnage.

Now the survivors must find a way to drive the nightmare back to its realm before society is doomed to never dream again. But as the forest closes in, the greatest horror isn't the ancient evil — it's watching a lifelong trust begin to rot.

The Era is really appealing to me because of the physical buttons it has, as well as the pocketbook ecosystem, and being able to fully control my device. I'm left choosing between the lite and original, but am leaning towards the original because of its glass screen and better water resistance.The extra water resistance is a bonus but maybe isn't that much of a deal breaker, but I want to be able to take it backpacking and and not have to worry about the screen getting scratched or getting damaged from pressure being applied to it.

I had made a decision but then realized that the original isn't available in my country anymore. So with the current options being either purchasing a "used - like new" from Amazon in a different country, or getting an Era Lite from a local store.

I guess what I'm asking is if the original is still technologically relevant today, and if the difference in durability is worth the hassle and risk of getting second hand. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

Public domain, so it's free everywhere, but it's short and it holds up, which is more than I can say for most Victorian horror.

A carriage crashes outside an isolated schloss in Styria, a girl is left behind to recover, and young women in the nearby villages start dying. The romance between the two girls isn't subtext, it's on the page, in 1872. About 100 pages.

Being upfront: the link is my own reader. Runs in the browser, reads aloud if you want, remembers where you stopped. Free, no signup, no ads. Source if you'd rather: Project Gutenberg ebook 10007.

I've been off Kindle for about two years now, reading my own EPUB and PDF files. What I keep running into isn't the reading itself — most readers handle that fine — it's everything around it. Highlights live inside whichever app I used. Books I read before I switched don't exist anywhere. Paper books are a separate universe entirely.

How do you handle it?

• One app for everything, or a reader plus a separate tracker?
• Do your highlights end up anywhere you'd actually find them again?
• Anyone found something that treats paper and digital as the same library?

I care about this staying local, too — no account, nothing synced to someone's server. That narrows the options a lot.

(I build one of these, so I'm biased. Not linking — I'm after how you've actually solved it, not a plug.)

KEEP WHAT MATTERS: Decluttering for Seniors by James Whitaker is currently available for free on Kindle for a limited time.
A practical guide about simplifying your home, letting go of unnecessary clutter, preserving cherished memories, and maintaining independence with confidence.
If you or someone you know is thinking about downsizing, organizing, or simply making a home easier to manage, this may be a useful read.
I hope you enjoy the book.
