I am referring to
https://www.baen.com/
I have books there, and there is also a free library of books that anyone can get.
There is an option to read online (but the font family choices ... lets just say that they ignore what I have my browser set to use. And font sizes don't work properly. And ... Etc. Why does no one actually pay attention to accessibility beyond "We know what your eyes want"?)
There are options to download the books. Or to have a kindle format emailed to me.
Since the point of Calibre seems to be to have a single master library of books with database functionality, instead of scattered files over my hard drive, I want to use that, as well as the CSS editing that I get with Calibre.
EDIT: Of course there's another message on the next page! :-)
What stops me from just importing into Calibre? One stop convenience, actually. Being able to have everything in one place, with all the URL's stored in the system database.
> If Baen gets added, what's next? Amazon? Kobo? Apple? Google?
Well, if I like one, then someone else would like another. So why not?
Why not have a simple, single interface for everything?
It's not like Amazon, Apple, or Alphabet (Google) don't all have their own single interface for downloading programs, games, books, etc, where they sell you stuff for your devices, right?
This is just the same thing as a non-selling concept.
