minus-squareCarlLandry357@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoI’m interested to try it. Too bad, I can’t see an online community. Maybe this is just new, but I’ve heard of kindle long ago already.
minus-squareMarieMarion@literature.cafelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoI used to proofread boons on Project Gutenberg in 2004 or so. 2006 at the latest. It’s internet-old. Edit As a proofreader with 20+ years of experience, I’ll leave the typo.
