I took my e-book library back from Amazon with this self-hosted app

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority If you’ve ever bought an e-book from Amazon, you already know you don’t really own it. Sure, it’s in your Kindle library and you can read it in the app. But try moving it to another device or archiving it somewhere else, and you’ll quickly run into walls. In fact, Amazon has been doubling down on its attempts to curtail access to the books you’ve bought from the Kindle store.

The Talented Ms. Highsmith I worked for the novelist in her final months. I thought she wanted to kill me. Patricia Highsmith pictured at her home in Tegna, Switzerland, in 1985. Dino Fracchia / Alamy Stock I first read Patricia Highsmith’s novels in the fall of 1994. I was twenty and living in a room in her house in Tegna, Switzerland, that was plastered with bookshelves full of her first editions, organized in chronological order.

Metal Detectorist Discovers Rare Boat Grave Containing Viking Woman and Her Dog

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-18 13:00:45

The saying goes that a dog is a man’s best friend, but an archaeological excavation in Norway proves that women care about their four-legged companions just as much as men do, even 1,100 years ago. Archaeologists from the Arctic University Museum of Norway have revealed a 10th-century Viking boat grave on the Norwegian island of Senja. The buried individual is likely a woman who belonged to an elite class, as Science Norway first reported. Most notably, the team found a dog carefully buried at

Joe Maring / Android Authority I’m as cynical as the next tech writer about Big Tech’s trajectory, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Google Photos.

The Vivoactive 6 is the best and worst thing to happen to the Garmin Venu series

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I’ve been testing Garmin’s Vivoactive and Venu series for generations, and in the past, each line clearly catered to distinct user needs. The Vivoactive line was my go-to recommendation for budget-conscious athletes. The Venu stood as Garmin’s best option for a rounded smartwatch experience. With the release of the Garmin Vivoactive 6, however, the line between the two series feels blurrier than ever, and for the first time, I’m struggling to distinguish betwe

Nintendo Switch 2 review: exactly good enough

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2026-03-18 08:00:00

The first Switch was such a hit that Nintendo decided not to mess with a good thing. Instead of releasing a successor that feels like a generational leap or a pivot in a new direction, it’s following up the hugely successful original with the Switch 2 — a welcome upgrade that largely sticks to the formula. It looks about the same, works about the same, and plays most of the same games. It’s the Switch, just better. Nintendo’s bet is that it doesn’t have to wow people all over again, and so it m
