       Sometime in the last year or so, Barnes & Noble deactivated the ability to download ebook files onto computers, and hid the files on devices. Reading only through apps on devices and web, or on proprietary e-readers. (Non-jailbroke/rooted devices hide the files from file managers.)There's DRM and then there's DRM!

       @thomasfuchs Because pet food is made and named so that humans think we might want to eat it (but still tasting like something our pets actually will eat.)

       @thelibrarian Also, "Do you have this book in stock?"On the other hand, at least they are asking (and therefore available to be corrected, "Why yes, that is on shelf!"

       @USBloveDog @thelibrarian We use "on shelf" or just "available."

       @ratking 1) Accept that you will NEVER be able to read, or even find, everything on a topic.2) Come up with some idea of what a "good enough" knowledge of the topic might look like. Obviously, this is going to take some research! (Danger! Danger!) You might have to revise this, but it gives you a framework to start with.3) Stop when things are feeling familiar. You've already read something like this before. That's enough for now.--continued--
