Got some hefty-ish household bills to deal with at the moment, so we're leaving this #ebook#sale running for a while. Feel like grabbing 36 DRM-free SF, fantasy & YA ebooks for $44? Now's your chance! (Plz share the post if you feel inclined? Thanking you!) https://bit.ly/SummerSaleWholeStore44
Okay so NOW this FREE cyberpunk collection (which is so old you can see on the cover that it was only $3.50 for a paperback copy), is available as an #ebook download (FREE, I said!) as well as just opening it to read on your device. If you want it in that format, you can go there and try out the two ebook download systems it's offered on, let me know if it's not working.
Das 2023er Update von "Dann haben die halt meine Daten. Na und?!" ist da! Mit mehr Infos zum #Fediverse und zu #KI sowie DMA, DSA und PrivacyShield2.0. Erhältlich als #eBook, #Print und #horbuch in meinem eigenen eBook- und Hörbuch-Shop, überall, wo es eBooks gibt, bei der #Digitalcourage und überall bei den Buchhändler:innen Eures Vertrauens.
Ein Tipp, da ich immer wieder mitkriege, wieviele das nicht wissen und für kommerzielle Angebote ein Vielfaches bezahlen:
Die heutigen Bibliotheken verfügen über prima Digitalangebote von Mediatheken mit Filmen, Hörbüchern, Ebooks bis hin zu den oft gesuchten Zeitungs- und Magazinangeboten.
Dazu vor Ort u.a. Spezialitäten wie Klavierräume, 3D-Drucker, Nähwerkstatt oder oder... ruhig mal vorbeischauen!
Just a bump of this. We've got some hefty-ish household bills to deal with at the moment, but this #ebook#sale's scheduled to end soon. Feel like grabbing 36 DRM-free SF, fantasy & YA ebooks for $44? Now's your chance! (And plz share the post if you feel inclined? Thanking you!) https://bit.ly/SummerSaleWholeStore44
Mark Watson (@mark_watson) wrote this #eBook to introduce #CommonLisp to developers who already know how to program in another language. If you are a complete beginner, you can still master the material in this book with some effort.
Bookshop.org is the alternative to Amazon that supports independent bookstores, so when it offers something of mine, I provide their link to the book. The science-fiction / technothriller crossover, SUBORBITAL 7 is a paper book here (and at Amazon etc)--and is also an #ebook.

The folks at Solarpunk Magazine have launched a Kickstarter for their 2024 subscriptions, and you can get my novella STEEL TREE as part of the “ebook bag” reward tier! This is a great way to grab a bunch of amazing optimistic speculative fiction all at once.
I really like my eReader - I much prefer eBooks over printed books - but it would be even better if:
it had a USB-C charger
it was FOSS
it didn't have an integrated store, or "phone home" functionality
I am not really in the market for another eReader, as mine works, but if anyone knows of a good eReader which supports loads of formats, has a FOSS stack, and charges via USB-C, please do feel free to say!
Coup de cœur pour la bibliothèque numérique #TV5Monde avec 642 ouvrages de littérature francophone téléchargeables librement en pdf ou #epub sans #DRM (France, Suisse, Canada, je n'ai pas vu d'autres pays de prime abord). La présentation du site et des #ebook est plus agréable que Projet Gutenberg ou autres.
A rare book from the Dr. Fu Manchu man, this is a pleasant, short mystery story with all the tropes: a PI who is frenemy with the police inspector; beautiful woman with secrets, a corpse who is not really dead (at first), and so on. Very readable.
"Völlig unverantwortlich": KI-generierte Pilzratgeber bei Amazon angeboten
Auf Amazon wurden mehrere englischsprachige Pilzratgeber gesperrt, die offenbar aus einem KI-Textgenerator stammen. Die Tipps waren teilweise lebensgefährlich.
I am pleased to announce a new version of my "Ruby One-Liners Guide" ebook. This ebook will show how to use Ruby from the command line. Includes examples for filtering and substitution features, field processing, multiple file processing, how to construct solutions that depend on multiple records and so on.
I would highly appreciate it if you'd let me know how you felt about this book. It could be anything from a simple thank you, pointing out a typo, mistakes in code snippets, which aspects of the book worked for you (or didn't!) and so on. Reader feedback is essential and especially so for self-published authors.
