If you’ve not tried an eReader recently, it might be worth another go. I love my Kobo Sage (which admittedly is the pricey end of the market) but there is a lot more choice available now for digital readers (phones & tablets too, of course) #ebook arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022…

The colour won’t be anywhere as good as print or even a tablet, but it suddenly maps will be readable, colour coding is possible (on your own notes too) and much more.

Hey @MicrosoftHelps - the ability to email to groups on Outlook for Mac was supposed to be coming soon ages ago - my previous message seems to have disappeared but a dev said it was imminent. Any news? Pretty basic requirement for an email app, I’d say, yet it’s been MIA for ages

I found this a very depressing read for a number of reasons (and the article conflates fiction marketing with all book publishing). If you trust influencers, caveat emptor #publishing -> The Merch-ification of Book Publishing

Not seen this Abram Games poster before - but clearly in the style of his other work. #posterdesign

If you’re in publishing and haven’t seen the Magpie Murders (on the BBC tonight) you might enjoy the first five minutes or so with its depiction of Frankfurt.

Suspect Netflix will not keep pole position for long (at least in the UK). Also Disney top in India because they had the cricket streaming rights (now gone elsewhere). -> Mapped: The Most Popular Video Streaming Service by Country #streamers
