Hey! I’ve been trying lately to get rid of big platforms from my life. One part of it is that I usually buy ebooks/audiobooks from apple, Amazon or google, however I’m then also forced to use their reading app, which is a vendor lock-in I’m not comfortable with.

I know there are plenty of ebook readers out there, but I’m trying to find

1. A store where I can buy ebooks that can be opened in a ebook reader of my choice.
2. A way to then sync my progress between phone and laptop. I have nextcloud setup, so if I can make use of that then it’s perfect.

Anyone here got any tips?

When I need an avatar, I use boringavatars.com -- but instead of using the site, I use this url with a generator I made in Google Sheets.

The trouble is, it spits out an SVG. To quickly save it, right click on the SVG > Inspect > right click <rect width=... and select 'capture node screenshot'

There are extensions that do this or something similar, but unless you're exporting SVGs in bulk, they're largely unnecessary.
