Anyone know how to get it to download content from chapters or Indigo?

Seems I have to use some sort of library app on my laptop but not sure what app it is or where to get it.

I bought a book that's compatible with Kobo. Currently downloading Kobo Library for Windows because I don't know what else to get.I'm pretty disappointed with Sony's library; I checked before purchasing that it had dozens of books by my favorite authors, but I didn't double-check that any of the those books are new releases. So I can only get books that have been out as hardcovers for a while.

When I went looking for a Nook, I found a iPadesque lit screen device instead an eInk device.
When I went looking for a Kindle I found a button device instead of a touchscreen device.

I guess I should have looked a little more carefully, since they now both seem to have versions that meet my criteria.
 
Turns out the app I need is Adobe Digital Editions. Still, the library is very confusing to use and its selection is very small.

I've managed to get one book from it but don't really know how I did it.
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
