[Solved] Can't send selected pirated ebooks through the Send-To-Kindle service to my Kindle. Is it some kind of background piracy detection? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

AFAIK epub is not universally supported and def. not by any kindle.

best dl, run through calibre (convert to mobi/azw) and transfer this via usb to kindle.

Bunch downloading torrent files (feddit.de)
 

ok, i usually get a big bunch of .torrent files once a month, run a short filtering and dump them all into transmission on a seedbox.

this worked fine with firefox and downthemall extension. however probably due to ff permanent and non stoppable upgrading the extension no longer works. while trying to figure it out i thought that maybe there are other/better ways. so, if you bulk download how have you organised it?

i still want to

get the files as search results (according to searcf filters),

be able to get rid of duplicates (which are renamed like filex(1).torrent so easily to be found and removed)

and have a look at them before handing them off to transmission

what would you suggest?

os is win10

How is pirating software a thing? in c/[email protected]

when you dl from any seller site do you know what you get regarding spy/mal/bloatware? for sure?

i would not dl from usenet or a public tracker though.

Do you share? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

i am a thief like we all are, no need for euphemism.

but i'd rather be robin hood than stoertebeker.

where do you think your files come from?

i just think if everybody once in a while would just buy and upload one file there would be a lot of new or unusual stuff.

Do you share? (feddit.de)
 

i wonder how much is left from the very early sharing ideals from the dawn of the internet.

do you juat take or do you offer something?

upload stuff, contribute by seeding, rip, be part of a group ..?

Does anyone still burn their movies to DVD? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

there are no longer many movies i like that much and if so i usually jtst buy the dvd.

it got way too complicated nowadays. starting with megabig files you not always can easily covert and watch.

then there is stuff i saw on tv which isn't available for free often not even can be bought. i have never figured out how to crack these coded stuff. so it just is on a storage disc. i hate it but don't know a way around.

so, you certainly are not alone.

non-english ebooks (fiction)? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

yes, mam has some books in german but mainly older stuff and 99% from ibooks. i used to offer but got tired of their inconsistent rules/category system and being forced to provide bookcovers. there was/is also not much interest and even less appreciation for uploaders in general.

ipt has sometimes french, spanish stuff (dunno if still there ) but i have never seen german.

non-english ebooks (fiction)? (feddit.de)
 

i am always on the lookout for non english NEWer ebooks.

after the raids and shut downs some years ago the sources are spare especially for german ones.

i know you can find old stuff on gutenberg, libgenesis (can't remember the full name) & co and surprisingly ibooks is still there but thats it.

of course some usenet boards but few and all the same stuff. their content usually finds its way to some torrent sites but few and late.

so, any recommendations?

Which kindle(?) to buy for downloaded books in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

i never go online with kindle (don't need wiki ) but once i had to. it immediately downloaded anything from the amazon list (of bought/dl media) including reading samples. da** annoying.

i deleted everything on amazon.

then amazon stopped sending actual files when i bought a book. even when specifically transfer to pc or via usb was selected (can't remember the phrase). support was useless. i stopped buying books then.

never found out what the problem was/is.

but i certainly don't put the kindle online and let amazon upgrade the firmware in the background.
