Anchoring in Port Anna, are ye, or are there any other exciting harbours to set sails to, fellow adventurer?

The ePub comes from Port Anna, then a quick sanity check via EPUB FIX [1] then finally to the official amazon.com/sendtokindle
All of the above if you want a wireless experience, you can just use Calibre and plug in the reader via USB for a smoother experience.

Or better yet, jailbreak your kindle before the hole is closed, install koreader, and read epub natively. It's a much better reader compared to the built-in one anyway.

And you can send straight to the Kindle from Calibre via WiFi, no need for /sendtokindle.

Thanks for the useful link!
I guess I am being overly paranoid, but I always also add a virus total check on top of it to make sure the file is clean [1]

/sendtokindle seems a bit brave if you obtained your epub off the back of a lorry..

KOReader + Calibre is also fully wireless. Get a Kobo, not a Swindle.

Someone should create a video streaming service with a vast catalog. That'd attract all the subscribers even at a higher subscription cost, and they'd surely be able to pay their licensing fees. So long as they don't need to grow infinitely for their shareholders and enshittify their offerings, it will be a sustainable and profitable business[0].

Libgen has been down for a couple of months. It seems the seas are getting a bit choppy.

I'm not sure what you mean. Plenty of the domains are online.
