I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

Wool by hugh howey

Wife and I watched silo and enjoyed it so I thought I'd read the books.

You can buy the books DRM free off his website https://hughhowey.com/books/wool/

Make sure you get all 3. Wool shift and dust.

How did you like the show? I read the books when the came out and just remember snippets of them. I sure enjoyed them, though.

Can I read drm free books on a Kindle?

[–] 7u5k3n@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No idea. :( I'd assume since it's a version of Android you'd be able to install an app that reads those files.

I don't have a kindle, but according to my buddy, Amazon assigns an email address for every Kindle, so you just email your DRM-free books to that address and they show up on the Kindle.

Ah thanks! I'll look into that.
