RISC-V Assembly Programming – Free E-Book
"Free" book. Actually a really annoying (to the point of unusable) dynamic-loading paginated html page.
The PDF itself nowhere to be found.

Converting PDF into HTML: is it possble?
Things I have tried: - pdf2htmlEX: Very elegant for normal conversions for users in the browser, but it is so elegant that it keeps the layout, strips tags and put them as styling (CSS) and converts tables to background images; not something useful for me - pdftohtml: Not the most pretty output, disregards tables, puts a lot of tags into the HTML.

Ask HN: Why has PDF not been replaced with HTML5?
I don’t think it’s a question of standards. It’s more that HTML and PDF are different things that solve different problems. PDF is supposed to be a static document that looks exactly the same in every compliant PDF reader. A correctly built PDF with have every glyph that it uses embedded, for example. It’s archival, in the sense that it will always look the same, in any future versions of PDF readers. HTML is markup that describes the author’s intentions to the browser. The reader can use his or her own fonts and have other preferences. The text might reflow to fit screens of various sizes. You can embed all kinds of resources from the network. One can take heroic measures¹ to force an exact rendering, but, in my opinion, that’s a dead end that hacks a markup system to do what it’s not intended to do.
PDF works great on the web; we don’t need to force HTML to replicate its abilities. It already has hyperlinks, and we can seemlessly navigate bewteen PDF and HTML pages in the browser.

Ask HN: Best Open E-Reader?
Kobos[1] and Pocketbooks[2] are a lot more open than Kindles. AFAIK you can transfer .epub files into both devices and these epubs are perfectly readable via the stock OS. If for some reason you find the stock proprietary OS lacking, you can install an open source one like KOreader [3] or Plato[4]
Of course you want a good way of organizing epubs pdfs mobi, and like has already been mentioned Calibre[5] is a great option.

Majority of web apps could just run on a single server
Oh man I absolutely love the work that you guys do. I'm actually in the process of learning Ebook production using the 'Step by Step' guide on your website. I'm essentially learning it all from scratch as I have little to no programming/SWE experience (I learned a bit of Lua because of KOReader[1]) but the technical side of ebook production has always fascinated me enough to keep learning.

Wear OS "Hybrid" design has two OSes, two CPUs, "100 hour" battery life
Ha! I feel similarly, if not as eloquently.

E-books are fast becoming tools of corporate surveillance
I read that KOreader is unstable on the Libra 2[0], so I haven’t installed it yet even though I would like to. What has been your experience running it?

First E-reader. I am thinking of buying Kobo Libra 2?
You can easily modify it (like adding KOReader).

Conversion from epub to kepub, and related Calibre use
I'm using Kobo Clara 2E (6" screen size), and it is unpleasant to read PDF and CBZ files (comic/manga) since Kobo only provides zoom and orientation mode. I installed KOReader on my Kobo. It has more setup to display those files way better. The views of PDF in KOReader and Comic in Koreader. I read Epub files in Koreader to maintain its original format.

Should I buy a kobo libra 2 or carla 2e for manga
I installed KOReader on my Kobo Clara 2E. KOReader is a document viewer to read PDFs and manga/comics. KOReader has more setup to display fixed-layout format in a way that is better than the native Kobo display (Kobo stock).

Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0
It doesn't try to solve the same use cases that Calibre does, but I built an open source (EPUB only) manager / reader / statistics tracker called AnthoLume [0]. It mostly stemmed from me reading in KOReader [1] on my Kindle, and not having the ability to sync the progress to my iPhone / iPad.
It's got metadata matching, support for multiple users, and statistics tracking which allows me to have a "Leaderboard" that shows how fast you read (words per minute). Fun competition between my wife and I (that I'm 100% losing). It's a Progressive Web App and utilizes a Service Worker to support 100% offline reading as well.
There's a demo server [2] (creds are "demo" for both user & pass).
