I just recently read an article about Overdrive and KKR, the company that bought both Overdrive and now this publisher. It was a really disheartening read for what’s happening in the books market.

Thank you for linking this. I read through it all, and as an avid Libby user, what quite disheartened. I just checked to see if my library has any other ebook options, but they don’t.

Cool! Hopefully they get to use them this time. I’m really curious as to how the hot staging will turn out.

Does anyone know if this is common for US rockets or not? I didn’t see too much info on it after a cursory Google search.

Edit: never mind, figured it out. It’s the star icon on the top left.

Is there a way to view my list of communities that I’ve subscribed to? When clicking on “community” in the bottom right, it brings up settings.

Well there already almost a dozen republican candidates, we just need to collectively back one or two that aren’t Trump. Does anyone have any thoughts on William Hurd who just announced? I don’t know much about him.

Are there any promising Democrats that are running against Biden?

I agree. One of the first communities I looked for was a substitute for daddit. Let us know if you find / end up creating something.
