Here are a few stories to read this Monday morning.
- The Kindle Android app now accepts hand written notes.
- Over on Bluesky John Scalzi shared the contract language he uses to prevent publishers from feeding his work into AI.
- Calibre now has decent sounding text to speech functions.
- Wikipedia has a serious issue when it comes to “notability”. I get that they want to limit their site to important topics, but that term is so vague that determining a subject’s notability really comes down to internal Wiki editor politics. (paywalled, sorry – Instapaper is your friend)
- Readwise is moving from being a set of tools for power readers to being a more direct competitor to the Kindle. This is kinda cool (I haven’t seen any really interesting innovation in the ebook space in over 5 years).
- Kindle Unlimited is now Kindle+, and now it comes with AI audiobooks.
P.S. My apologies for the lack of a post last week; it turns out that flying home is a lot more energy draining than driving.
