My goodness, is it Sunday again? Well, for those of you who've missed the highs and lows of MobileRead over the past seven days, this is your one-way ticket to catch up:

E-Book Software - Reading and Management

• Free Windows Multi-format Ebook Search and Preview Plugin

05:05 AM by umeca74 in E-Book Software | Reading and Management

I put together windows shell extensions for most popular eBook formats (Kindle, EPUB, PDF etc) in a single (free) installer package

It allows books to be indexed by windows search and be previewed as thumbnails and page by page in windows file explorer and compatible file managers like xplorer2

E-Book Readers - Kobo Reader

• Interview w/Kobo CEO

03:10 AM by The_Enobee in E-Book Readers | Kobo Reader

This is a very interesting interview with Kobo CEO Michael Tamblyn. He goes into a lot of detail around ereader use cases, development, integrations, and how Kobo values the consumer's ability to access their books and take them to other devices.

Tamblyn comes on about halfway through the video (the segments are well marked if you hover over the progress bar).

Here are the highlights from the past seven days of MobileRead:

E-Book Readers - Amazon Kindle

• Amazon is removing Download & Transfer option

11:51 AM by geoffwood in E-Book Readers | Amazon Kindle

Went to download a book this morning and saw the following posted on the Download page:

Starting February 26, 2025, the “Download & Transfer via USB” option will no longer be available. You can still send Kindle books to your Wi-Fi enabled devices by selecting the “Deliver or Remove from Device” option.

Makes me glad I bought an old Paperwhite so I can continue to download to that and directly copy the file from there and remove DRM
