Calibre's got plugins to just strip DRM. If you can read it, you can decrypt it, and if you can do that, you can just save it decrypted. e-book DRM is the dumbest thing ever.

don't know about reading books digitally but sometimes audiobooks are nice

either it's down to presentation or the people reading the books

for example, tony Robinson has perfect delivery in his reading of the Terry Pratchett audiobooks that in my opinion heightens the comedy its just a shame he only ever did the abridged versions

the tom clancy audiobooks read by Michael Prichard are pretty good as he has a voice that to me just fits the military techno thriller books of tom clancy

sometimes there's a full cast as well one I remember listening to a lot when I was younger was the Redwall audiobook

might have something to do with growing up without a TV and mostly listening to the radio where when I was younger at least the BBC had some top-tier dramatisations on radio 4 (I haven't really paid much attention to what they do these days but its probably 99% woke crap or the writer is painfully average but they are some "minority" so they get boosted (radio 3 has a similar issue with pushing music that is just painfully bad or of little note but its by a woman or a minority that says the right things so they get put front and center - if the BBC is that desperate for female composers just go look at japan and do some music by Yoko Kanno, Yoko Shimamura or Michiru ĹŚshima just to name three off the top of my head I would pay good money for a full live arrangement of some of their work into a full symphony or something)

If you want to have a bit of fun: Go on 4chan or reddit, look for a thread where people share and discuss their favorite books, and mention that you enjoyed reading Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead.

The discussion will instantly turn from a circlejerk of everyone complimenting and objectively analyzing each others' book choices to hate-filled rants on how bad of a person Ayn Rand is.

The irony is that Rand is, like most things, Determinism .. based on nothing necessarily deeper, or more transcendent, than its proponents (and adherents) thinking that they are correct.

.. EXACTLY THE_SAME AS ANY TARD TRYING TO DETRACT HER. 🤦‍♂️

(The only, conceivably, superior position being Providence .. as major religions tend to not change daily, weekly, properly ever, along with zealotries for 'the latest thing'.)

And at least Rand was Based. Half of the effort against her is Marxist Propaganda, and half of the other half is their NPCs.

What's your idea of determinism? For me it's just the collection of observations that at any time there are things that are easy to believe and do, and things that are hard to beleive or do, and that technology and its adoption is the number one driver of social change.

Haven't read Rand, so I don't know what she thinks on this, but one point I'll emphasize is that all of what I described is a matter of ethics, not morals. It's just about how people without principles behave, in line with incentives and disincentives. They still need morals to guide them towards the right ethic, and determine what behaviors ought to be easy, and what ought to be hard...

Michael Kramer and Kate Reading do a phenomenal job with the Wheel of Time series.

The worst audiobook I've listened to was Catch 22, mostly because of the production (they would randomly have military march music that, rather than separate chapters or even sections in a chapter, would sometimes literally separate two sentences of dialogue from the same character in a single conversation. I honestly don't know why it was there), but partially because the guy reading it just wasn't funny; I honestly don't know how you read that book and barely get me to chuckle twice and never belly laugh.

I started reading the Wheel of Time books back in the 90s. The first three or four were good. But they got boring after that. Robert Jordan should have made it a trilogy and moved on to something else.

My wife listens to audio books but I still like to read them myself and physically turn the pages. Maybe when my eyesight gets worse I may resort to audio books but if it's a good book I'll still get a hard copy to add to he library.

I have been collecting books since I was very young and have amassed a pretty good library of around 2,000 books, all hard backs. I used to keep paperbacks as well but ran out of room and got rid of around 3,500 of them after my wife complained about all the boxes. We have a wall unit that takes up one wall in our library/media room that I want to get rid of so I can expand the bookshelves to accommodate more books but at my age It's doubtful that I'll live long enough to fill them.

Damn, you're right. I just looked at The Eye of the World and it was published January 1990. I would have sworn I started reading that when I was stationed in Spain back in the late 70s.

Smh. Fires of Heaven and Lord of Chaos have some of the greatest moments in the series. The next few books are slower but still great, and Knife of Dreams (the last written solely by Robert Jordan before his death) was a massive return to form and one of the top three books in the series.

Buy up Antique history books. Anything before 1950- I have found books from 1830 with details on how to make concrete and the mathematics of how to design bridges and water systems for farms. We don't need globohomo, but we might revert back to 1880s until we get systems built for food production.

Most people grew their own produce in their yard. Dandelions' were brought to America because they grow fast. Bamboo is also a good material for building, and there are fast growing trees that are very practical.

Old encyclopedia collections can usually be had for cheap at thrift stores and definitely the 50s is the sweeter spot for still representing facts close to reality. Another thing I’ve been doing is collecting reprints of foraging guides for my area and practicing identifying edible plants on my property. Just in case. Last year I made sumac tea which was actually quite good. Styxhexenhammer666 also sells edited works of old us agriculture guides and has written some guides on foraging and traditional cures

The one I like given I’m in Amish country is a guide explaining how nutty some of the German refugees were from the world wars as many settled here.

Agreed. I have a partial collection from early 1800. It tells you how to make everything, including basic farm engines they had in Victorian times. Yea, they had complex hydraulics made from primitive materials too.

Even, how to process raw oil into diesel. There were few gas stations around, and farms did not depend on them. It looked like cities were more dependent on farms back then, and that is the natural order of things.

Power going out is 20th century problem.

Own multiple generators, solar panels, batteries, etc.

And, despite all that, you have to specifically want digital copies for that to be relevant information. For the same cost as those generators and solar panels, you could buy hard copies. Electronics fail and have weaknesses and so do hard copies. Your preference is just that: a preference.

A battery that weighs less than one shelf of books can power an e-reader for a year.

MILLIONS of books can be stored on a 4TB USB-C HD (which only needs to be attached to copy selected books onto a reader).

A good paper library costs and weighs more than a huge amount of solar panels, lithium batteries, NAT storage server, laptops / e-paper readers, etc.

And of course they can be proliferated and spread by copying from device to device, even without the Internet. Copying paper requires a lot more effort.

You’re getting downvoted but you’re right about contracts. So long as the parties mutually agree and weren’t fraudulently induced or under duress, people can agree to most anything so long as it’s not an illegal activity. That’s the beauty of having the ability to contract recognized by law - it gives people the ability to agree to and make their own enforceable laws privately between one another based upon the circumstance and need.

There are rights you cannot sign away by contract and most contract provisions aren't actually enforceable. For example, a contract with a landlord can't actually alter the eviction procedure. That's outside of the scope and overridden by existing law.

Just because you signed a contract doesn't mean the state is going to send the cops in to back your play. If you can't find a reasonable way to enforce your own provisions, you can pound sand.

Contracts aren't magic. They just lay out the terms of agreement and capture signatures. That's literally all they can do.

If he's refering to his collection of fantasy bullshit books, those don't count either. Liberals always collect fantasy horse shit and wrinkle their nose at non fiction and historical books. Forever a child in their minds.

Glad to hear I'm not part of the problem. Hundreds of books but only dozens of guns

But also if someone kicks in my door at 3AM I’d rather be slinging bullets in their direction than books..

Sleep with a king James on your chest just in case they shoot first. My teaching edition could stop a 45 I bet.

Well I guess I meet with this clown’s approval, then. I’ve got a thousand or more books and only sixty or seventy guns.

Everyone has access to millions of books on the Internet.

You can't just download a gun when you need one.

Ms Jeff. the books we read warned us about commie scum such as yourself, hence the need for more guns.

leftiest try to cast gun owners as poorly educated fools. Take the high ground and show them up with knowledge. Ask for historical context of genocide with gun owners, read books on gun rights and oppressive authoritative rulers.

On Gunday, strange that most of the comments on this thread are about books, favorites, or types of books. Seems pedes are readers, not just gun enthusiasts.

This nerd probably has a million ebooks and audio books too, but I can't have a gun that shoots too fast or too quietly.
