Just your friendly, neighborhood, geek who loves to crochet.
I use bypass paywalls clean on Mull by activating the Secret menu and choosing to install add-on from file. Works great for me.
Secret menu is in the About Mull page (tap on the logo 5 times) then back out to the settings pane to see some additional settings items added like install add-on from file.
How extensive of editing are we talking? If you just need some of the more basic features, there is Paint.NET which is surprisingly useful for a lot more than you’d think. Definitely not as feature-rich as Photoshop though.
Ya… I’m with you 100%. It really feels like commercial software is the “minimum viable product” rather than a complete and quality piece of software. I’ve opted for FOSS solutions wherever possible for me and it has worked out swimmingly. Only place I’m still struggling is my home PC. Making the jump to Linux and potentially risking game compatibility is still a bit of a hurdle for me, but once my Win10 license loses support, Linux will be a very strong contender for my main OS.
I think (but I have not tested) that if you can use the DeDRM plugins to import your books into Calibre… You might be able to use Calibre’s conversion function to make them all ePubs (which are Kobo friendly). I don’t have a Kindle but I do use a Kobo and have had to run DeDRM and some conversions to make books compatible.
Good luck!
I wasn’t aware that we all had to adhere to YOUR standards of which softwares are useful/needed.
Sometimes people just want something. Maybe it doesn’t align with what you want, but that doesn’t make it wrong.
