Hi Mandel,
Thanks a lot!
If someone is interested, I have a collection of ~2,500 ebooks in French (epub only). No DRM.
Please find the list here:
https://ebooks.raoult.com/
The tgz files and epub files cannot be downloaded without a login/password. Ask me if you want one.
The reason is that it is likely forbidden to share these books in my country. Most of them come from a group of people ("Team AlexandriZ") whose members did a great job (all books have very good quality, being reviewed - often much better than paid versions) before they decided to to stop. Their target books were:
- Those not available in electronic version
- Or those having DRM (you must buy them twice if you have different software)
Feel free to share them on another repository where this would not be an issue. This could help a wider audience.
Also, if you know a place where I could find free epub books in Chinese, you would make somebody very happy here :)
About uread itself, it seems to be for Windows only. The
readme file shows also that development seems stopped for 1 year (and I did not find anything about license, and availability of source code). Installing a third party executable is always dangerous, of course.
uread is not for me then: I run Linux, MacOS, Android and iOS. And it is closed source. FYI, I use mostly fbreader and calibre, then (and quite happy).
Other question: This group (uread) seems dead. Do you know another one
(active) related to electronic books and related software (calibre,
uread, fbreader, etc...). Of course, there are specialized groups, I am more looking for a general discussion.
