Just installed #RelayTools native Android app. We now have a native Android e-book reader! Simply download your books to your local relay (such as #Citrine) and you can then read them offline. 🥳 Reading books directly from relays opens up the possibility of interacting with them, through highlights, comments, ratings, etc. An alternative, which is nice for sharing, porting, or simply freezing the content, is to download the book from https://wikistr.imwald.eu/ as a PDF, HTML page, or EPUB file. EPUB is the format for conventional e-paper readers, such as Kindle or Tolino. Here is the same #NostrBook, in different *local* readers: image And different *online* versions image

As always, we thank our trusted relay suppliers @cloud fodder and 121 others and @semisol ! Make sure to sign up for their relays and *keep Nostr strong* with relay admins who have remained alert, reliable, trustworthy, and are actively developing systems and algorithms we need for the #Alexandria project. I repeat: They are not only maintaining our relays, — which is already a lot of responsibility — they are also doing software development and DevOps for us, including some rather hardcore computer science and engineering. There is a lot happening, in the @npub1s3ht...75wz relay space!!! ☺

Wikistr supports 30023, 30818, 30817, 30040/41 and the associated 1111 comments. All long-form event kinds can be downloaded. Markdown-formatted events can be downloaded as Markdown or Asciidoc. I am going to be adding highlights and citations to it, as well. And then the downloads will have the option to include the comments, citations, and highlights, at the bottom of the exported files, and for the original "event bundle" to be exportable and importable, as jsonl. Some of the publications are entire collections/libraries of books, so I am also considering adding a compression option.
