What part of Op’s comment led you to this specific project? He could not even recall the name.

Sounds like they’re respecting work life balance in a round-about way.

No Boss, I didn’t get that email sent at 11 PM last night. I don’t sit in front of my PC at all hours of the day.

I was talking about the file format only allowing .txt being a blunder.

Epub is a drm free format with no royalties. And it’s the de facto standard all over the internet.

That sounds like a sex act.

God dam did you see that last night? She yoted him so hard in front of everyone.

We are officially ON NOTICE

Soon be Blasted, Slammed, Potentially even Yeeted

Epub are the de facto open source standard. That’s like a “MP3 Player” only playing Wav.

How do you blunder it that bad?

Sounds like a win to me.

We don’t even use Cameras anymore for anything except explicitly scheduled one-on-one meetings like Quarterly Review.

But why would anyone?

I have an MDM on my work phone and I can’t even access PlayStore anymore. It only allows Company Allowed Apps which is to say nothing. YouTube is broken because MDM somehow controls my DNS records. Firefox cannot be installed so Ads everywhere. Chrome only and it can only go to approved websites because Yahoo is safe but Ars Technica is not???

Why would anyone want that on a device they pay for?

Is my MDM different from their MDM?

Corporate gets involved

There are now 18 (10 Old and 8 new but conflicting) sources of truth

We reduced departmental inefficiency by 50% (20 to 10). Round of applause

That’s when middle management gets involved.

Problem: There are 18 sources of truth for this information

Solution: There are now 19 sources of truth for this information

Calibre is a fantastic Ebook organizer. It can handle all sorts of file conversions, firmware updates and de-DRMing books you own. Whichever eRader you get - I would highly recommend it.

It is the iTunes to your iPod except for eReaders. It is also FOSS.

E.g. Here are 5,000 books available for free forever as part of Project Gutenburg.

That’s is download, and click Sync within Calibre. It handles all formatting, metadata, etcetera. Good luck accessing them without third party software. Kindle, Kobo, B & N do not want you reading free books.

Separately given the price differential these days. Get an eReaders with a back/front-light. eReaders are as difficult, if not more, to read as books are without bright light.

eReader lights point into the screen instead of at your face - it’s much different than a phone and much easier on the eyes. It’s like staring at a lightbulb (LCD Phone) vs staring at a newspaper lit from overhead.

I don’t know how much time I have spent reading in bed with-backlight-on not bothering my wife but it’s a lot. It’s where I do the majority of my reading. Not possible with a real book - she’s a light sleeper and any light bright enough to read would keep her up.
