Be subversive... Read. #booksky #books #read

DRM is "digital rights management", aka copy protection.

My Kindle/Kobo/Nook books are all run through a DRM stripping program and saved on my hard drive (and backed up on my media server). There *are* ways to own digital media, but it takes effort.

Library worker, here. Get in touch with your local libraries and give them your contact info. We regularly get books our policies often don't allow us to keep (encyclopedias are often in this list, as well as books that are very well loved), so we try our best to find homes for them.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:

The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.

I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

It was never just another app.

It was Community.
It was Knowledge and News.
It was Nostalgia.
It was Entertainment.
It was Different.
It was Connection.

And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻

#booksky #tiktokban

now that tiktok and, subsequently, #booktok is gone, i’ve deleted all my meta accounts—which were my only remaining primary sources for book content.

so all this to say, pls let me in #booksky! i have a reading goal of 100 books this year and i need the recs 😭

Claiming audiobooks "don't count" is ableist and stupid. Consume your content in the fashion most enjoyable and convenient. #booksky

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.
