Good day everyone,
I’m being denied access to my ebooks by my provider, which is Tolino.
Back then I chose Tolino because it offered many means to access my books without having to bring along a bookshelf everyhwhere I went. Unfortunately it escaped my attention that Tolino was acquired by - drumroll - Roku. Since then it seems they enshittified the android app. As long as my device is connected to a VPN the app says “no internet connection” and won’t let me access anything. As soon as I disable my VPN it works normally. Yeah, that’s unacceptable.
Do you guys know a way to pull my books?
Further, can you recommend me fair ebook provider? Google Books apparently works, but for one Google is known to shut down popular services without further notice and, well, it’s Google.
zlibrary isn’t really an option, because it doesn’t have the works I’d like to read in my preferred language.
If you want convenience, Google Books is pretty solid. Just make sure you have all of your books and are only uploading to Google. If you buy from Google, you’ll run into the same problem. I organize via Calibre and use it to push to both Google and a Kobo.
I personally have all my ebooks and use Google Books to read on all my devices. It’s more convenient than trying to self host stuff. When Google eventually drops Google Books I will have to figure out what to use.
