  • In regards to another reply, there are multiple options of dealing with duplicates in calibre. From merging to deleting them.

    It’s been a while since I had to do any library setup with calibre and Im kinda confused by what you are saying with “but it duplicates files when importing in a different drive where I don’t want ebooks”

    Do you have multiple libraries in calibre?

    Are you using multiple library managers?

    Why not just use calibres folder structure?

    And also if you don’t know about it - mobileread forums has been around a long time and has a whole section on calibre where you could probably get more specific help.




  • Income limit would lead to people ‘gaming’ the system. Either just misreporting what they actually make or purposefully not making enough to qualify.

    Or it will go just like current systems do - you make one cent over their arbitrarily decided number and you don’t qualify even if you cant actually afford to live.

    It would also screw over people who might have a ‘good’ income, but made honest mistakes and are upside down in debt or similar situations.

    Income limit fosters a ‘you deserve this, you don’t’ attitude which is what we are trying to get away from.

    I just see a time limit system (with exceptions for those who are sick/unable to fully care for themselves) doing a better job of providing a basic human right to anyone who needs it while avoiding a bunch of bullshit an income limit would bring to the table.










  • Linux learning curve is definitely steeper than windows - at least for ‘the basics’.

    Simply because of terminal commands. Thats a lot of info to learn and maintain just to do ‘basics’.

    Yeah you can search and find what you need to do, but again that’s a lot of work for someone who just wants things to work.

    Windows pretty much holds your hand to get the ‘basics’ up and running.
