  • Using Onleihe is already a horrid experience even now. There is only one ‘copy’ of each book and this copy is not only for my city, but the whole region, meaning all slightly popular books are reserved for years in advance.

    I can borrow books from the website but the only way to return them before the allocated time is via an app. You can only return the book from the phone app after downloading it again onto the phone (which is a really weird design choice).

    Since the allocated time per book can be very long (21 days) and returning books early is incredibly cumbersome, this makes the one copy per region bottleneck even worse since most people can not be bothered to ‘return’ their eBooks once they are done and just wait out the timer.

    There are a lot of books in my language that are not (yet) on the shadow libraries and this DRM change probably means I won’t have any way in the future to change this anymore.





  • Oh that sounds really nice, in that case you really don’t need to use a period app. I have to enter my temperature, cervix condition and (I don’t know the English word for it but you know,) the ‘slime’ condition. Sometimes it’s 6 weeks, sometimes it’s 3, the app helps a lot but sometimes it’s still off.

    You actually have your period the same time everytime like in a textbook? That’s sounds pretty nice, first time I heard someone has that. Usually it’s pretty random, like sometimes it’s 20 days sometimes it’s 35 and you have to calculate it with the daily temperature. I’m kinda jealous ngl
