Anna's Archive has basically everything, though it may take a few weeks for new releases to appear there. In that case, a private tracker like iptorrents is going to be where it's at.
Download Calibre on your computer. Once you have the book add it into Calibre.
Connect the Kobo to the computer. Once it connects, drag and drop the files over from the Calibre interface.
That's it!
The other option is using Calibre web instead, but that does take a little configuring. I'd consider my method above a good way "to add to her selection without making it more difficult."
I'm tired of seeing the telling of "the scorpion and the frog" fable ham fisted into so many stories. I don't think I ever heard that one growing up, yet I've heard it a dozen times in shows.
Just tried it out! Happy with the results, but I agree some UI tweaking could go a long way. Where to type your search, and the results are too "clean" to the point where it's a bit confusing.
Paired with Calibre, KoReader, and Anna's Archive you have a DRM free and open source environment. It's so nice knowing I actually own all of my library.
You can connect it to Libby and your library as well!
Mad Eden by Morgan Thomas, and I started the his dark materials books to read with my nephews.
Mad Eden is a difficult read. I don't really like the main characters. The book is good still. I wouldn't tell others not to read it.
His dark materials is great. Pullman does an awesome job of showing how confusing it is for young people to understand the complexities of navigating and growing into the adult world. Very anti religion too, which was part of why I got it for them.
Woodworking by Emily St James is an amazing book. It's fiction about a trans woman in her 30s finally coming out, and a trans teenager who has already been out for a while.
I'm not sure how much I like it. It does a very good job of giving a look into African society around the time of slavery and missionaries, so I can see why it is touted as such an important novel. That said, I don't love the writing style or the characters.
Just finished Blindsight by Peter Watts and The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler. Both are very good books that I highly recommend. Unbeknownst to me when I picked them up, they are both about consciousness.
Just started Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky and When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi. I'm liking Service Model so far. When the Moon Hits Your Eye is a bit cheesy (sorry for the pun).
After reading the comments here I have been convinced we should create a list of these artists, and none of their content is welcome in this community.
Main points being:
allowing their "nice" content creates a pipeline for users to their bigotry
having it signals to new users we are ok with content from bigots
it should make moderating easier because there is no need to deliberate what is ok by that creator
Nazis, racists, transphobes, homophobes are not welcome here under any context!
Mongolian Soy Curls
Ingredients
Directions
Soak the soy curls until they are soft then drain (30 minutes to an hour).
Wash and cut the scallions into 2 inch chunks.
Heat oil in a pan and saute the scallions till they soften.
Add the soy curls and continue to saute till everything is hot.
In another pan mix the soy sauce, water, vegetable bouillon, garlic, ginger, maple syrup, and sambal olek. Heat till it boils.
Make a slurry with the cornstarch and water and slowly whisk into the boiling pan.
Reduce the heat and stir until it thickens.
Add the sauce to the soy curls and stir.
Serve immediately with rice.
Notes
You might need a little more vegetable broth if the sauce gets too thick.

Great work!
Just finish Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, and I'm about a third of the way through James by Percival Everett.
Both are so good!

Kobo Libra Colour. It's amazing!
Plus they partnered with ifxit so all parts of your ereader can be replaced if there's an issue.
Definitely recommend Blindsight!

Both
Just finished Ella Minnow Pea because of someone's suggestion here of good epistolary novels. It was great! Highly recommend.
Reading Woodworking by Emily St James currently. It is also incredibly good! I can't put it down.
I'm reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.
I'm not sure how much I like it. It does a very good job of giving a look into African society around the time of slavery and missionaries, so I can see why it is touted as such an important novel. That said, I don't love the writing style or the characters.
Such a good book. I love the epistolary format.
Just finished "service model" and halfway through "when the Moon Hits your eye" by Tchaikovsky and Scalzi respectively. Both are good, not great.
Starting "Platform Decay" today! Very excited for more Murderbot!
Me too!

This isn't book burning. This is more like we're refusing to print and distribute more copies of their books for them.
