If something is priced above what I consider it’s worth, I just don’t use it.

Tell that to every student who has to pay unreasonable amounts every semester for textbooks…

Privacy versus convenience… For what I know, the most common solution to your concern would be to setup a Calibre server and access it via your Android devices. But that’s obviously a tad more complex than uploading EPUBs to Google Books.

Not sure if that helps, but if you’ve never programmed before, I definitely recommend Automate The Boring Stuff With Python by Al Sweigart. The book is free to read, plus the author is on Reddit (u/alsweigart) and releases free signups to the Udemy course based on the book each month.

Not sure if that’s the type of creativity you’re looking for, but it’s quite common to sell stickers on Etsy, Redbubble and similar sites. Some stores are quite successful on it.

Yes.

What additional arguments besides personal experience would you give to back this precision claim?

Temperature scales are arbitrary by nature, and the criteria behind their definition can be useful or not. Fahrenheit’s isn’t that much useful compared to Celsius’ or Kelvin’s.

I’m looking for a gradual transition from Reddit to Lemmy. To make things easier, I started to use Redreader. Man, I wish I’d done this switch earlier.

Redreader’s dev has expressed interest on Lemmy compatibility, so when (if) this happens, I know which app I’ll be using.

Lurking through communities related to my favorite literary genres while having Z-Lib is like walking into a candy store as a 10-year-old and being told that you can get all that you want free of charge. Of course curating a library is enjoyable lmao

I actually like the download limit that Z-Lib has for regular users. If you use it up, it moght be a good time for you to go actually read what you have downloaded.
