Isn’t one of the pet fan theories that James Bond is just an assigned code name to multiple agents over the span of several decades? It would be very easy to lean into that

But I tagged you

And if you're converting manga specifically, you go down to the Kindle Comic Input tab and select "Manga Mode" for right-to-left reading!

Once those are set up, I dl my (legally obtained) CBZ & drag it to my Calibre library. From there I can grab metadata if I want. After that, I right-click the title & choose "convert books individually", which gives me all the options for greyscale conversion, whitespace cropping, & image resizing.

Oh yeah, the setup I use is a bit involved, but it's prob faster/easier than the alternative (jailbreaking the device). First you need the third party e-book manager/sideloader Calibre: calibre-ebook.com. And then you need to apply the Kindle Comics Input plugin: github.com/pavelzw/cali....

Oh hell yeah thank you for the heads up on this one. Unfortunately I vastly prefer reading manga to watching anime and Kodansha has really NOT made it easy to get your hands on this one. Had to jump though some hoops to sideload the first few volumes onto my Kindle

Eternally grateful to @izaart.bsky.social for letting me crash at their place indefinitely for my in-office stints

fucking lol, goddamn

I was coming from a job where I earned less than $10/hr and had zero money put away. I was panicking about how I would pay for airfare and food and lodging and expressed these concerns to management and I was met with a shoulder shrug

really struggling to break past the 2 plate barrier, been stuck here for what feels like an eternity
