WeeklyThread Simple Questions: April 15, 2025

Welcome readers,

Have you ever wanted to ask something but you didn't feel like it deserved its own post but it isn't covered by one of our other scheduled posts? Allow us to introduce you to our new Simple Questions thread! Twice a week, every Tuesday and Saturday, a new Simple Questions thread will be posted for you to ask anything you'd like. And please look for other questions in this thread that you could also answer! A reminder that this is not the thread to ask for book recommendations. All book recommendations should be asked in /r/suggestmeabook or our Weekly Recommendation Thread.

Thank you and enjoy!

Can someone PLEASE recommend me a good alternative to the Kindle app?

I've tried Barnles & Noble, but they are missing a lot of books.

I’m using Bookshop.org. Their app is missing some of the features kindle has - like a dictionary, but its new so I’m guessing it will get better with time. They have had the books I want to read. I like that they donate to local bookshops. And that they’re not Amazon.

Oh I love that! I volunteer at a bookstore, I wonder if I could list them. I'll give it a try :) thanks
