You'd be surprised. Tor and Solaris both offer DRM free books on Amazon. Also anything self published tends to be DRM free.
I saw the writing on the wall and downloaded my books from Amazon a few months before their announcement. Out of around 1000 books I had 300ish that were DRM free.
Dumb question, but: is there a way to find/filter ones that are? (I can't seem to find anything in the (web) UI that makes it clear which books are downloadable.)
There wasn't when I went through my collection. Reading the announcement from Amazon it looks like the existing DRM free books will not be automatically flagged to be downloadable.
The publisher/author will have to go through a process to have their books be downloadable again.
I have some tor books, but I used to download them as .azw even though they had the "this book is drm free ..." blurb at the beginning. (was back before amazon stopped downloads)
Now they could actually be distributed as unencrypted .epub
My Shield is 7 or 8 years old at this point and still going strong. Was very much hoping for something like this from Steam just in case something were to happen to it.
Allows you to check your feeds from multiple devices. For example I usually read from my phone, but sometimes would like to check my feeds from my desktop.
You could just subscribe to the same feeds from multiple devices/apps, but then you have to manually keep track of what's already been read and that will quickly get out of hand.
I recently read Burn[0]. It lined up very well with my weight experiences and explains how the mind/body works with food.
One of the things they found that lines up with my experience is the fact that exercise doesn't necessarly burn calories - your body will end up adjusting to any exercise routine (up to a point, but you'd have to go pro athlete levels to really make a difference.) For instance, I walk around 10km daily for my job; when I switched from an office job to this one I started feeling hungrier and thus ate a bit more - I ended up putting on weight even though I was getting much more exercise!
I would imagine it would depend on where you're from? I'm from Canada and the book that helped me more than anything else is 'The Wealthy Barber Returns'.
'Millionaire Teacher' is also fantastic, and I believe is U.S. based (been a few years).
Both books teach the fundamentals of how to save/invest in a safe manner in a way that is easily digestible. Barber especially is an engrossing read.
Not that I've ever encountered it in the wild, but I feel like pointing out that publishers can opt-out of DRM on Amazon as well. You'd recognise them by this in the description:
> At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
I only know about it because of Cory Doctorow, never seen anyone else that does this. Heck, even re-packaged public domain books contain DRM for some inexplicable reason.
Kobo also does it. They tell you in the eBook details. It's the publisher's request. Publishers like Tor, O'reily and Baen go DRM free. If the re-packaged public domain books don't request it then on goes the DRM.
ebooks.com will tell you whether a title has DRM or not. I've switched all my non-DRM buys to them. Unfortunately publishers dictate whether or not something will have DRM so the vast majority of books are DRM'd.
If you just go for the cheapest anyways, why are you buying containers at all? I'm in a position that I can afford whatever containers I like, and I use glass for anything that'll be reheated but use plastic for freezing. We re-use butter/yogurt/sour cream containers, and after 2-3 uses toss them in the recycling.
