DRM issues ? I don't have a clue.

I too use Calibre and it is quite nice and it is free.

I'm ignorant on Kindle (I use Kobo because it does not want to own your books and your soul with DRM) but there is a software called "EPUB File reader" that does the job fairly good and it's lightwight.
"ICE book reader" is a trial version limited to 10 books in its library (but you can remove the ones you added and keep using it) and it's a bit better on some issues (like numbering pages, which EPUB file reader doesn't do).

Kindle's are brilliant, cheap to buy, long battery life, and more free books than you can shake a stick at. Also you can get their free e-readers for Windows, Mac, iPad/iPhone and Android. What's not to like?

Also you can go to read.amazon.com[^] and all of your content that is purchased via Amazon can be read right in your browser. You'll have to sign into your account.
If you have a book that was not purchased via Amazon but is a kindle version you can upload using amazon's software :
Amazon.com: Send to Kindle[^]
I believe those books can be made to show up in your browser (read.amazon.com) also.
I'm not sure why Amazon doesn't push this / market this better / more.

I just use the Amazon Fire tablet or my iPad kindle reader.

I have a DigitalOcean droplet running Debian 8.10 (jessie) that costs me only $5 / month.
512MB memory, 1 vCPU, 20GB SSD, 1 TB transfer.
I followed the instructions at:
Prerequisites for .NET Core on Linux | Microsoft Docs[^] and successfully installed dotnet core.
It took about 1.4 GB to install dotnet and I have 4.5GB left.
Kind of amazed it was so easy. Now to try some stuff.

This time, the 'thought' was a bit week. Perhaps, after much hard work (smoking gin?) you're in a bit of a days?<br?

Or six bunnies each, if it is one of those calendars.

Can one shop lift a shop calendar?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, and if they tear out a couple of pages and give them away, they get time off for good behavior.

Only if one of them is called Greg or Ian.

You should March on down to the pun police station and turn yourself in for that one. They May take pity on you if you tell the truth, but if July you'll really be in for it.

I put it to you that a variable, constant or define named "MILLISEC_PER_SEC" is never, ever, ever needed.

Shouldn't this be in "The Weird and the Wonderful" (with a code snippet)? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's what I would think, as the SI-system is fairly logical. Then you meet someone from the UK and they tell you there's x feet in an inch.
It's also a nice shortcut, to change the display from msec to sec, just by setting this constant to "0" instead of "1000" :p
