Do you read books with an ebook reader?

I bought a Sony PRS-650 Reader to read books and I'm loving it.

For one thing, there are zillions of free books in epub format available for download for free. Many of them are out of print, so you would have to pay a high price to get a printed copy. Most current releases have to be paid for, of course, and there is the DRM hassle, which is a double hassle for Linux users.

But all in all it's great.

Is anybody else enjoying the modern era?

NAME
epub-fix - part of calibre SYNOPSIS
epub-fix [options] file.epub DESCRIPTION
Fix common problems in EPUB files that can cause them to be rejected by poorly designed publishing services. By default, no fixing is done and messages are printed out for each error detected. Use the options to control which errors are automati- cally fixed. Whenever you pass arguments to epub-fix that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. OPTIONS
--version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit --unmanifested Fix unmanifested files. epub-fix can either add them to the manifest or delete them as specified by the delete unmanifested option. --delete-unmanifested Delete unmanifested files instead of adding them to the manifest --epubcheck Workarounds for bugs in the latest release of epubcheck. epubcheck reports many things as errors that are not actually errors. epub- fix will try to detect these and replace them with constructs that epubcheck likes. This may cause significant changes to your epub, complain to the epubcheck project. SEE ALSO
