Until today, my experience buying #ebooks from Humble Bundle was they were always available unencumbered by #DRM. I have hundreds of #DRMFree#epubs built up over the past decade.
The #PratchettDiscworldHumbleBundle is through #Rakuten#Kobo's ebook shop, and all the books are encumbered by #Adobe and the #AdobeDigitalEdition DRM. There is zero indication that this DRM is included on the bundle page itself. and it explicitly says "Use on Any Device". On the #RakutenKobo page itself, the only indication the file has DRM is some small bottom-text that says "Download Options: EPUB 3 (Adobe DRM)".
Also, DRM Digital Editions will also "helpfully" install Norton for you as well. It's like the dogshit you just stepped in offered to stab you in the kidney, too.
This is shameful and disgusting from Humble Bundle. I know Humble Bundle got acquired years ago by IGN/Ziff Davis, but they'd avoided the levels of #enshittification to make me stop using them.
I got in the habit of buying #books by asking a nearby bookstore to just order them for me and its a good system, like, the place is in walking distance, they love to see my dog, they pay for shipping, they get the book pretty fast and when they call me about my book has arrived it is this whole event to me where I get real excited and go get the leash.
If you're talking about this [0] announcement, older nooks will lose access to their online bookstore, but #epubs (and other files) stored or side-loaded in your device will remain readable/accessible, and you can still add more later, as long as your device is working.
I can't believe how much reading #ePubs and #PDFs on computers sucks.
Every eInk reader, every iPad app, every library manager eats your content and hold it within its own shitty little ecosystem. Nothing plays nice.
Annotation support is a nightmare, leading to either useless vector-based drawing annotations rather than text highlighting (eg Remarkable and Supernote) or endless duplicates of your content after you annotate it (like every iOS app that uses iOS' horrendous app-based filesystem). Every PDF annotator has a major drawback, eg, an overcluttered interface (PDF Expert on iOS, Okular), broken export options (Xournal++, every iOS app) or simply just barebones annotation tools (GNOME PDF viewer, macOS Preview)
The least bad of all of these is Calibre, an app that arranges your books similar to a music library. But should you wish to annotate anything you read, Calibre will absolutely not support it without hacky disk-based syncing - something the dev explicitly discourages.
The only good app I've seen is Foliate, an incredible no-nonsense ePub reader that's literally better than any other book reader.
