The indie publishing mavericks shaking up the UK books world (www.theguardian.com)

Beehaw defederation means this is now the largest book sublemmy accessible
Beehaw has decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I believe it was already separated from lemmygrad. I think this makes this community the largest one accessible to the most instances whereas before [email protected] was. I guess we’ll have to make the most of it!

Do you make markings in your own books?
Underline quotes, write something, doodle etc.

A tool to help with tracking of pages when using an ereader
I’m not sure how useful this’ll be to people, but on the off-chance that like me, you like to track your pages read daily (into something like Storygraph or Goodreads) and you happen to have an ereader, I’ve created a spreadsheet that may be useful....
