Ebooks and audiobooks? (lemm.ee)
 

Any good suggestions for alternatives to Kindle and Audible? I'm looking at storytel, tolino, libro.fm, and also places like Casa del Libro, wondering if anyone's used them and if they're good?

Or another service?

I replaced google drive with koofr. Very happy so far! Still unsure what I'm doing about Google wallet/Google pay...

I checked out nextcloud and koofr when switching from Google drive and settled on koofr. In terms of the criteria you outlined above:

  • Decent desktop client + network drive which appears like a USB key in your file system, super usable
  • Very good android app
  • No document editing but you can open everything from the network drive using the editing software on your device and it syncs to the cloud
  • Nice price (45 euro for 200GB, which is all I need)
  • Downside: no integrated document suite for editing in the browser but the workaround with the network drive is very straightforward (one click to enable in the desktop client)

I don't need a massive amount of cloud storage, in the terabytes, say, so I've found koofr ideal for my purposes. Another bonus for me is it's a Slovene company so must be GDPR compliant.

This is a big part of why I love them so much. Hardly a week goes by that I don't think of the "boots theory of socio-economic unfairness" from Men at Arms!
