morris callbet (ID: 0000008cdcc7a325) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/08/2024 or ora sto' iniziando a convertire il formato online in formato mobi aggiornamento purtroppo (per) le applicazioni "proprietarie", come Apple e dintorni non c'è niente da fare e all'occorrenza possono essere sfruttate alternativamente, magari per aiutare il prossimo in caso dovesse presentarsi l'occasione di far conoscere sistemi che viaggiano leggeri. Ed a proposito, visto che anche con loro sono "vuoto", aggiungo che il timer del Kindle Fire HD 8" pollici di X°a generazione 2020 è l'unica cosa che colma i miei spazi di utilizzo. E a pensarci meglio, una volta, qui sullo store delle estensioni trovai un "misuratore del tempo" che implementava a piacere dell'utente tutti gli "orologi" che si potevano tenere d'occhio. Proprio una bella idea a vista. Oggi misuro i miei tempi tramite anche un paio di splendidi orologi da polso Casio dall'ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, grazie alla professionalità dell'e-commerce per eccellenza, che per poco più di 60€ ho ai polsi degli orologi garantiti minimo 10 anni e che misurano effettivamente la cadenza del tempo che scorre, e mi piace vedere tutta questa bellezza che mi fa' fare altro ma che non potrei mai disdegnare. Sono così felice che quasi quasi ripeto* qui un'altra donazione per questa estensione, della stessa cifra, perché voglio riprovare a rendere utile la fruibilità di questo formato alternativo al formato pubblico e giudicare se addirittura posso essere ancora più free, convertendo i file e sfruttando le altre potenzialità del Kindle Fire, in giro per il pubblico. In ogni caso l'estensione mi è da sempre (quasi 16 anni) utile perché sostituisce ePub Press quando alcuni siti non lo permettono per vari motivi "strutturali" o di "web master things", e tra un po' verificherò se c'è la possibilità per me di farlo tramite Paysafecard Wallet, altrimenti attenderò, per me e per voi buone nuove

Bob Sorensen (Cowboy Bob) (ID: 00000013c0c1584c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/24/2021 Tried the extension on Waterfox, Edge, and Avast Secure Browsers, and it does what it says. I use MOBI, others can have EBOOK. no worries. Downloads go to the default location the user designates for the browser. A few tweaks would be helpful, and I disliked its appearance on by weblog, so I took it out right away. More importantly, when installed as an extension, it is immersive (no links). After I learned that I can get the links by using the bookmarklet, I use that now because reasons and stuff. Very glad to have found this, and I am recommending it to my readers for those times I write long articles. Fun hint for Kindle users to save on hooking up the connection: Email it to yourself or use Amazon's Send to Kindle software on a desktop, and it converts it into its own format. Very fast way to get a document if you have a different preferred send-to-reader that isn't working.

Gary Hughes (ID: 000000fa722b6a3b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/07/2019 This was once my first port of call for saving web pages and reading them later. But for quite some time it hasn’t worked. I just seem to get error after error and have now turned to other apps/extensions such as GrabMyBooks.
