       Calibre has been updated with a “create your own adventure” game, powered by AI.You design a world, create a character and shape the story by your choices to the text (and images) the AI generates.Just what users of a *checks notes* /ebook manager/ will be clamouring forhttps://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/09/calibre-ebook-app-ai-ficton-writing?v1#openSource #calibre #ai

       @omgubuntu Grrr. All he had to do was change the interface into one that looked less like a children's picture book. Why can't software just be *finished*? It did everything that could be expected of an eBook manager.There are no usable alternatives though, are there?

       @omgubuntu I never liked using Calibre, now I know I'm just going to uninstall it altogether...

       @omgubuntu This looks good as alternative, modern front-end to a Calibre database:https://www.howtogeek.com/this-calibre-fork-fixed-everything-i-hated-about-the-original-app/#calibre #AIslop #cwa

       @omgubuntu For all the reading they claim to support, they sure can't read the room.

       @omgubuntu I would much rather have them working on things like having the UI not looking like poop in GNOME

       @omgubuntu incorporating a zmachine interpreter into the application and letting people run infocom adventures might have been a neat Easter egg... maybe, and then opened up opportunities for all the people who write interactive fiction, but this is just lazy. It screams of desperation to shove an LLM into anything in the hope of making bank that defines the entire AI industry right now. Sad.

       @omgubuntu @Le_bottin_des_jeux_linux Yeah… I’m going to uninstall Calibre today. Maybe I can find something else, or find the time to help one of the forks.

       @omgubuntu I have been meaning to start using Calibre for about a year now, just kept putting it off. Everything I've heard about Calibre in the last few months has given me pause.
