Did you post a Feature Request on the Lemmy connect community? The Dev is pretty reactive, to bugs as well as to requests.

Connect has most of the features people are asking for here

Me too, which makes Sync an endless scroll of black squares where ads should be. No thanks, Connect it is.

I've never seen that a publisher who's locking it's books would sell them different on different platforms. I just checked Andy Weir from his own website, it is all amazon / apple / google etc locked versions - or pulp-tree-and-ink.

But I'd be very happy to be wrong; have you got sites to recommend?

Yes. I buy on ebooks dot com, where you can filter by the DRM-free critter. It is also a neat trick to discover new authors.

I do this absolutely out of personal opinion on the matter, and would rather buy dead-tree-and-ink than a closed version (that won't open on my e-reader anyway).

The whole - and excellent - Murderbot Diaries series is DRM-free ! I wonder what/who make the decision on that matter.

Do you use to eat your eggs sunny-side-up? (With the yellow still liquid?) If so, you should be safe. Or you've been lucky, I have no clue as to the prevalence of Salmonella in Brazil.

Same here. I only buy drm-free from ebooksdotcom, and transfer them with ~~caliber~~ calibre. My kobo wifi isn't even configured.
