Depends on the book, if something is freely available we’ll provide links, otherwise we encourage library use and let everyone decide for themselves where they stand on piracy vs. buying the books.
On iOS I’m very happy with Memmy, I was on Apollo before and it feels similar design-wise.
Yes, user-wise this won’t really negatively impact Reddit this is why I called it penny pinching, they weren’t losing out on huge amounts of money with the 3rd party apps. What I was mostly referring to is that moderators are frequently power users who either used 3rd party apps personally or used them because the moderator tools inside of them were way better than Reddit's native ones.
It’s ridiculous to me that there are still people volunteering to moderate, Reddit had such a good deal with running mostly on free labor that is satisfied with some scraps here and there.
And what do they do? Turn the people who are sustaining their business and ask for nothing in return hostile towards them over some penny pinching.
Our last few books have been fiction, but nonfiction is totally on the table if it can get the majority of the vote.
