Oh yeah tables. I can imagine that can mess up any txt based tool for sure. I havent actually tried any ebooks with manual based things in them.

It works for non amazon books at least last i tried. Works on library books...but that feels wierd. I have enough money to buy books now, so sometimes i just op for the real thing.

I have had luck reaching out to authors in the past. One even recommended yoho so that was funny.

Baen library was one of the first (older than amazon!) To let you buy and add ebooks drm free. And any format too.

I had some of thier books on an old palmpilot.

Something i have been foing for years in calibre is saving the de-drm version of all ebooks that i bought. And getting the txt version of the files.

The ebook format is basically a subset of html if you ever look into it. And as time goes on ebook readers have different ways to show these books. Most of the time, its great! Sometimes its not. Give it another 50 years and we will see what works and what doesnt. But i garentee at least the txt files will still work.

I didnt know what authors and publishers go though. Thanks for that lemmydividebyzero

At our local makerspace, we have a drawer thats labeled "memories" with just random RAM chips for the last 20 years. Its probably worth some $$ now.

Theres online comparisons somewhere on ram/cpu etc... win 11 is VERY bad at 8gb in most cases. Linux at 8gb mostly fly. Hell mac os works well at 8.

Its just microslop doing their thing.

Im planning on waiting 5 years to see if it will become a thing and be well supported. Ive been burned by experimental tech before. But I hope to see more of these kind of projects pop up in the future.

The examples are pretty funny. Is VERY slow. Like I thought old outlook was a bit on the slow side for syncing. The videos they provide are remarkably slow in every day interactions.
