Vor etwa zwei Jahren kaufte ich über Apple Books das Buch "Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis" auf Deutsch in der kompletten fünfteiligen Trilogy.

Dann eines schönen Tages, als ich das Buch lesen wollte, war es plötzlich verschwunden und ich fand nur die englischsprachige Fassung, welche ich hätte erneut kaufen müssen.

Das Buch befand sich jedoch auf meinem Mac.

Nun, dank SYNC habe ich das Buch wieder auf iPhone & iPad. Freude 😃

Really? #apple? Are you really forcing me to import 30 epubs into iBooks one by one because your fucking share option doesn't support multiple files ar once?

Geez what is this? 2006?

Ich habe gerade mein erstes Hörbuch selbst ausgesucht und gekauft. Jetzt fühle ich mich so richtig erwachsen:

@jsnell Agreed- I doubt they would want to use #Amazon's drm- and I think it's true that #iBooks only survives on the back of #Apple restrictions. That having been said- I would still like a viable alternative to the #Kindle ecosystem and I haven't found the #Kobo compelling in the UK. Thanks for your thoughts as ever.

Sich „Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis“ von einer miesen (Apple) Computerstimme vorlesen zu lassen: schlecht.

Sich „Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis“ auf #spotify (free) von einem Menschen vorlesen zu lassen: gut!

Blöd ist, dass Apple #iBooks auch weiterhin nicht auf #android verfügbar ist *grummel*.

Ich habe mir das Gesamtexemplar mal digital dort gekauft und bekomme es in Deutsch nicht in anderen digitalen Bookstores als Gesamtwerk. Nur einzeln und dann natürlich richtig teuer ... *grummel*

June 12, 1862 - Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart began his ride around the Army of the Potomac. He circled the entire Union force and arrived back in Richmond on June 15. The Union cavalry unit of Colonel P. St.-G. Cook allowed General J.E.B. Stuart to pass through their pickets and lines to the rear of the army, capturing, destroying, burning as he went and escaping unmolested.

Ok I am annoyed enough now to have to ask: on my iPad, Books has decided for some reason to *not* download all the books; instead, I have to select one to read, and download it, and then I can read it.

I have 200+ GBYTES FREE FFS.

There doesn’t seem to be a “download all books” option.

After the latest #iPadOS update #ibooks no longer works, which means I cannot read any of my purchased books. I tried everything the web suggests, the only thing left is to downgrade to an earlier iOS version and upgrade from there. That’s a real hassle :-(

12-13-1862 - Union defeat in Fredericksburg, VA. Gen. Brunside considered continuing the attack the next day, but was talked out of it by his subordinates.
Pennsylvanians joined the brigade, marching through Fredericksburg. Artillery shells performed tricks, bounced on the street, ricocheted off the buildings, and tore through windows. Zigzag trajectories meant survival hinged on sheer luck.
