- Then resynced with Oasis. And amazon content/devices sync automatically.
- Edited all metadata. Titles, authors, etc. All good now.
- Converted ALL formats to azw3. This is for kindle. It’s what gives page numbers instead of location numbers.
- Backed up the full calibre library (to gdrive), ~400MB.
- Marking as read/unread is a piece of metadata for kindle. Can’t set on calibre natively – just create a custom field.

- Harder water (higher ph, higher magnesium/calcium, more alkaline) is better for you.
- Fluoride levels are usually too high. It’s used to prevent tooth decay but has tons of other negative side effects.

- Received and set up the new kindle oasis.
- Remember you can email documents to your kindle. I added the address in my google contacts. Use epub or pdf (not mobi).
- There’s now a read/unread feature, so I deleted my old Finished/New collections.
- Set Oasis to default. Paperwhite to old.
- Remember that you can manage Collections, Content, Devices, Settings, everything on the amazon webapp. Don’t have to do it all on kindle.
- There’s also an amazon webreader.
- Removed the gdrive folder with the raw content. Converted and sent them all to the kindle (which is stored in amazon Content).
- Convert to epub then email. Mobi is no longer supported. Pdf and epub display similarly (loc instead of page number), but epub shows graphic (when downloaded onto device).
- There’s also the software “calibre” to manage your ebooks. I’ll play with that tomorrow?
- “Books” are the ones you’ve bought (and gifts). Everything you send yourself (epub, pdf, etc) is classified as “Documents” – there’s “Audiobooks” as well.
- Total of 73 read books (7 of which are listened audibles) in my library.
- Cancelled Volo membership. They were charging $36/mo (on TOP of league fees).
- Cancelled Calm membership. $60/yr, would have renewed in Nov. I just do breathwork now, more beneficial (imo).
