Borg Base offers EU based server locations. They have been awesome to work with.

Yeah it really shows you put in the effort. Throwing your phone in someone’s face with a translation app open isn’t the most enjoyable experience but obviously needs to happen when the language barrier becomes too much.

Sure, I definitely think key words and phrases is great. More than that is going above and beyond. People will appreciate the effort.

I mean you could also just be a good tourist. Learn the language, understand the culture, be respectful. It really isn’t hard. Some of the most ignorant people I know are the ones who refuse to travel outside of their own bubble.

I simply use both. New book comes in, add to Calibre to get most metadata down pat and move to my library, then gets imported into Booklore where I can easily make minor changes/fixes and that’s it. I use Booklore for reading across many of my devices.

You could get rid of Calibre in my stack, I just find it nice for local management on my host PC.

I will absolutely refuse any unlawful order to see my “papers”.
