    FFS Google’s killing another app I use all the time

    At this rate I half expect Google Play books to be dead before 2025

        I’ve tried to listen to some podcasts on YouTube music. It really doesn’t work well compared to Pocket Casts. They need to separate the music and podcasts more clearly and make managing podcast playlists more intuitive

          My favorite part of YT Music is how it’s a terrible interface for YT videos. Second favorite part is the total mixing of music playlists and video playlists.

        Sounds smart might give it a go, but why not simply download epub direct from an ebooks retailer?

          My understanding is it is a file linked to your account that links to the epub file. It lets you and only you download your copy of the epub file you purchased.

        I’ll have to check this out for sure as I primarily listen to audiobooks rather than reading physical books or reading ebooks

        They’re just so much more convenient with my shitty work schedule
