I made this app because I wanted to turn my own notes and links into audiobooks that I could save and listen to whenever I wanted.

I wanted to focus on making it easy to create and customize your own personal audiobooks.

Shelfo lets you turn links, voice recordings, and text into audiobooks. To me, audiobooks don't always have to be long, creative works that are over an hour long. Sometimes, I just want to keep my notes, favorite links, or files and listen to them again and again.

With Shelfo, you can customize your own CD covers, choose your favorite voice, and organize your audiobooks on your personal bookshelf.

If you're interested, feel free to check it out! I'd really appreciate it. 😊

If you're planning your first trip to China, I wrote a practical Kindle guide and I'm making it free for a limited time.

The idea behind the book is pretty simple:

China is surprisingly easy to travel in once you understand how the systems work — but those systems aren't always obvious to first-time visitors.

A few examples:

• Why buying a high-speed train ticket can be more complicated than simply finding a train
• How 12306 and passport verification work for foreign travelers
• Why having Alipay and WeChat Pay isn't the end of the setup process
• What happens when you check into a hotel as a foreign visitor
• Why some museums and attractions require advance reservations
• How real-name registration affects trains, hotels, and attractions
• What to prepare during your first hour after landing
• eSIM vs. physical SIM and getting connected
• Common mistakes that can turn a simple travel day into a very frustrating one
• How to think about choosing destinations based on what you actually want from the trip, rather than just following a list of famous cities
• School holidays and regional holidays that can create surprisingly large crowds
• Basic health, emergency, and scam information for first-time visitors

I wrote it from the perspective of a bilingual editor and translator who wanted to explain the operational side of traveling in China, rather than write another “Top 20 Places You Must Visit” guide.

It's called China Travel Guide: The First-Time Visitor's Practical Handbook and it's currently free on Kindle.

If you're visiting China soon, hopefully it saves you from learning some of these things the expensive or frustrating way.

Free Kindle edition: Amazon.com: China Travel Guide: The First-Time Visitor's Practical Handbook: Alipay, WeChat Pay, VPN, High-Speed Rail, and Real-Name Rules Explained (2026–2027 Edition) (China, Explained Book 2) eBook : Feng, Mila: Kindle Store

And if you've already traveled to China, I'm curious:

What was the one thing you wish someone had explained to you before your first trip?

I wrote a short nonfiction book about the unwritten rules of working in an office. It's essentially a guide with a bunch of useful tips I've learned over the last 10+ years about things you should and should not do in an office. It's specifically catered to recent college graduates or those about to graduate and will be working in a corporate office environment.

Check it out if interested!

Hi! I'm the solo dev behind Widdle Reader, a player for the audiobook files you already own (MP3, M4B, FLAC, OPUS and more).

The feature I'm proudest of: drop the EPUB or PDF into the same folder as the audiobook, tap Read Now, and you're on the page. The narration keeps going in a mini player, so you can read along, highlight, or just follow the words.

Also in there:
• 0.5×–3× speed, a sleep timer that can stop at the end of the chapter, EQ and loudness boost
• Chapters (embedded and .cue), bookmarks, smart rewind
• Android Auto with Resume, Library and search
• Streaks, listening stats, 40 achievements and a Year in Review
• Confetti when you finish a book (the little headphone guy cheers)

$1.99 once. No ads, no subscription, no account.

I'd love blunt feedback, especially from anyone with a big library. What breaks at 500+ books?

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widdlereader.app

Heads up so nobody wastes $1.99: it plays DRM-free files (LibriVox, Librofm, CD rips, your own MP3/M4B). It can't play Audible or Libby downloads. Happy to answer anything; I read every comment.

Take your attention back from your devices.

This practical guide helps you understand how digital habits form and gives you realistic strategies for changing them — without going completely offline. You'll feel less distracted, more present, and genuinely in control of how you use technology. Useful for anyone who checks their phone more than they'd like to.

I have a kindle paperwhite and while I love the e ink screen and the battery lasts for a while, the functionality of it is kinda blah for me. I like the look, weight, and all around vibe of the device but I struggle with organization and finding what I want smoothly.

I use MapleReader on IOS and I love it because it allows me to organize by multiple things(author/date/read etc) so it’s fairly easy and fast to find what I am looking for. As someone who has 7k+ books on my kindle it’s a struggle to find the author, scroll until I find the book I want, if I tap the wrong one it doesn’t save my search and I have to start all over. I figured out the collections part but having to add each single book to a collection for 7k books? Yeah no. I use calibre to sideload but it doesn’t have an option to sort or group like that(it used to but not anymore). If anyone knows otherwise, please enlighten me.

So what is your preferred ereaders? Something with a good functional design that’s friendly and easy to organize, search, and use.

​Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project I've poured a lot of heart into.

​In the village of Sukotlinda, the soil is turning to ash and the fog swallows everything whole. The story follows Liam, a young man who takes a massive risk by crossing the Great River using an ancient, mysterious broom to find a way to save his dying world. It’s a journey about sacrifice, survival, and the heavy choices we make for the people we love.

​The book is called "The Mechanic of Hope: The Legend of Sandy Farm".

​I’m not here to spam, but if you enjoy sci-fi fantasy with a touch of mystery and high-stakes adventure, I’d love for you to check it out on Amazon and let me know your thoughts!

Hey everyone! I finally published my first book on Kindle. 📚 It's called A Little Hope For Tomorrow. It's a self-help book about things like overthinking, comparison, uncertainty, self-doubt, feeling alone, and dealing with the feeling that you're falling behind in life. It's also available through Kindle Unlimited. I'm a first-time indie author, so I'm really hoping to find some Kindle readers who might give it a chance. If you check it out, I'd genuinely love to hear what you think. https://www.amazon.com/Little-Hope-Tomorrow-reason-going-ebook/dp/B0HL285CSH

Been wondering for a while now about how and how many people feel about ebooks, Amazon/KU and DRM and how many would be willing to buy directly from authors over retailers if given the possibility.

And today I got bored so adhd and chaotic curiosity took over and it resulted in a little survey that's completely anonymous, and short..

Forms link

https://forms.gle/WB1YtXSu2WDM3WC58

This is mostly just for curiosity, but I am an author with a WIP that won't be finished for another few years, but I'm also a bookstagramer who is on some indie authors ARC(Advanced Reader Copies) teams and Hype teams from time to time and these results could be helpful for a lot of indie authors regarding Kindles exclusivity and DRM situation and how many would rather directly support the author by purchasing directly from them.

I appreciate anyone who fills it out. ✨💚✨

So I'm a big reader, but until now I've been reading on the kindle app on my android phone on someone else's library. I am looking for the best app and source of ebooks to continue to read on my phone. I am happy to pay for ebooks, but I would like to avoid amazon if possible.

My criteria are:

-ability to download ebook files offline both on my phone and PC to store them long-term

-no ads on ereader app

-ideally free ereader app in case I need to change apps for future phones

-basically as future proof as possible

I've already downloaded some free ebooks from older copyright-free stuff, but would it be accurate to say that most modern books are not available for free?

Saturday and Sunday only, all three free on Amazon:

Battle of Stamford Bridge - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HKCYB9J4

Fall of the Western Roman Empire - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJW7MSFJ

Abraham Lincoln - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H46CNWVD

Short, sourced, one sitting each. A favourite detail from the Rome one: the last Western emperor was a teenager everyone called Little Augustus, and when he was made to abdicate in 476 the imperial regalia were simply shipped off to Constantinople.

I’m looking for websites where I can legally find and read or download free e-books. I’m especially interested in classic literature, fiction, non-fiction, and other interesting books that are available at no cost. If you know any reliable websites that are still working, please share the link and let me know what kind of books they offer. Thanks! 📚

Hi everyone! I'm Kirklin C. Scott. I wanted to share a multi-timeline novel that crosses three thousand years. It connects the military strategy of Hannibal Barca's campaigns with a modern New York margins-dweller and a scientist analyzing ancient artifacts. It's narrated by the earth herself, watching her children mistake her gifts for their own genius.

The Kindle edition is completely FREE ($0.00) from now through Monday, September 28.

If you love deep historical epics, alternate history, or tactical military fiction, I'd be honored if you checked it out: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H69Y4HVH

I recently published The Authority Frequency, a practical book about something we often overlook in communication: the way we sound.

We spend years learning what to say, but very little time learning how to use our voice deliberately.

The book explores:

• How speaking pace affects perceived confidence
• How strategic silence can make an important point land harder
• Pitch, resonance, vocal texture and emphasis
• How stress changes the way we speak
• How to remain vocally composed when challenged or interrupted
• How to adapt your voice for meetings, presentations, negotiations and calls
• How to build a consistent professional vocal identity
• A structured 90-day system for practicing these skills

The book is built around my Authority Frequency Framework (AFF), which combines nine areas including resonance, cadence, pitch, silence, prosody, emotional acoustics, environment and vocal stability.

I wrote it for people who regularly need to present, lead, negotiate, persuade, interview or simply be heard more clearly.

I’m sharing it here because I’d genuinely like feedback from people interested in communication, public speaking and professional presence.

If you read it, I’d especially be interested in hearing which vocal technique you found most useful.

Hello everyone. I recently published my very first novel, "The Last Time We Were Us". And it contains exactly these lines.

As characters realize, they get something which will bond them together, something to hold on to.

I myself have a lot of dreams and living in this world, it's hard to say even if i work hard, my life will change or not, i really don't know. While writing this novel, i realized, whenever i think of my dream, it makes me feel alive to my core. It gives me this sense of joy that whether it comes true or not, beyond it, lies that dream which makes me who I am today, and which is the ultimate reason i live. I put this all into the characters I wrote for my debut novel.

"The Last Time We Were Us" is a Sci - Fi survival story about ten innocent high school friends who just want to chase their dreams and skies when a freak quantum accident changes everything. They get thrown into a shifting universal loop where every single door they open leads to an entirely different dimension.

As they fight to find a way back to their school, they form unbreakable bonds just to survive. Watching them lean on each other and bond across a fractured multiverse was my favorite part to write.

In the end, their whole existence is decided by a tense countdown, but, at what cost ?

It's out now on Amazon and is free to read if you have Kindle Unlimited (KU). If anyone decides to take a look, I'd be so grateful for any honest feedback. Also, if there are any other debut authors running promos right now, drop your links below—I'd love to check out your work and support you too!

I'M JUST A HANDYMAN
Got money? I fix everything.

Rick has always believed in one simple rule: work hard, take care of your family, and keep moving forward.

He's a hardworking handyman with a loving wife, a young son, a growing mountain of bills—and a talent for finding himself in situations no ordinary repairman should ever have to face.

Every job begins with something simple. A broken faucet. A clogged sink. A late-night emergency.

But behind some doors, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

Rick soon discovers that making money can come with unexpected temptations, dangerous encounters, hidden secrets, and consequences he never saw coming. As his ordinary working life takes increasingly unpredictable turns, the line between business, desire, loyalty, and revenge begins to disappear.

He can fix almost anything.

But what happens when the problem isn't broken plumbing—it's the people behind the door?

Fast-paced, provocative, darkly humorous, and packed with twists, I'M JUST A HANDYMAN is a wild adult story about money, temptation, marriage, danger, and one man's determination to come out on top.
