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

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

I’m not sure what an ACSM file is, think you could give me a TLDR?
raptore39@lemm.ee 6 months ago
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 never forgive them for killing iGoogle. I missed my start page so much…

Is there a way to download any books bought as pdfs?
Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
I don’t believe so
I tried to figure out how to through the app but I unfortunately couldn’t find anything

Or even download them so I can view them outside of the play app?

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

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.
