Totally. I just don't have the desire to create it lol.
Would have to basically ban resellers or flair them or maybe a monthly reseller thread. But open and good faith discussion of the different services would be nice.

Using calibre to just upload books directly.
I'll check out KoReader. Never heard of it.
Ya good point.
Seems like I'm doing it backwards lol
Giving money to Amazon for the hardware and then stealing from the authors.
I should do some more research before buying my next ebook reader.
I bought a Kindle so I can pirate all my books. Am I resisting?
Can't help with your question, but thank you for your service.
There's a /r/BuyCanadian post about lemmy.ca which is probably driving it.
Good point. Way less staff to keep this service running as long as growth is not a priority like it is with most companies.
I don't want it to have ads either but bandwidth is not free and someone somewhere is paying for it.
Is the donations don't cover the bills there are few options.
Could easily see certain subreddits being like OF or Patreon. Pay for access to content. Pretty tried and true business model and it will probably work well enough to keep it around.
Even YouTube has "memberships" to channels now where you get bonus content and stuff.
The people that are interested will pay and those that aren't won't.
That's a good thing ya?
I get that the services themselves cost money and there are ties to organized crime (or so I've read).
Interested in these jellyfin swarms I'll have to do some research thanks!
