When I buy ebooks on Amazon I always download them and put them in Calibre. I have also sent copies to my brother. The article states that this is impossible, but Amazon literally has a "download" button. (Although they hide it we

Thirteen years ago I got rid of my car when I moved. I've lived in two different countries and three different cities with a population ranging from 80k to several million. In those thirteen years I've never wanted to buy a car. I

I recently learned that Morocco observes daylight saving time all year... Except for Ramadan. So sometimes they use standard time in winter, sometimes in summer. Seems to me it would be annoying for the populace, and downright nightmarish f
