It would be cool if Projekt Gutenberg links were marked as “free” like it does with aozora.

both for links from the English version (which also has offerings in other languages): https://gutenberg.org and the German version: https://www.projekt-gutenberg.org

:thinking:

Edit: I forgot to also mention www.zeno.org :slight_smile:

Ah that’s a good catch. I don’t think they’re even a formal book provider yet, may need a post in the Book Providers Megathread (Official Management) thread.

Also, as a general ask, I think we’ll always want one free graded reader series for each language, similar to Tadoku - Free (series) | L0-19?? for Japanese or 두루책방 - Free (series) | L0-20 for Korean.

Not only do those sorts of things serve as an awesome resource for beginners, but they also set a standard for the difficulty rating system for levels 0-20. If anyone knows an equivalent for German, let us know! :slight_smile:

Well, my german is so rusty it’s basically just rust at this point, but I read one (1) book in german in my life, so I just added it :upside_down_face: (I need to remember to edit the “read” date when I have access to a computer).
The process went very smoothly!

You weren’t even joking; you’ve got like 800 books added on your dashboard. @.@ How do you do it?

Oh, that looks like a bug! Time to call the exterminator… :beetle: :gun:

@brandon My Korean book count is displaying on the German page:

I’ve only added about 5 books so far for German… :sweat_smile:

Whew, much better! I was gonna say, 800 books in a few hours is insane.

Is anyone else unable to do the Data Download to generate a csv?

Just tried it, I was able to generate and download without any problems.

I just tried downloading reading sessions and that worked immediately, but user books doesn’t work for me.

I’ve just tried the rest of the data options and they all generated and downloaded fine for me. :thinking:

I have no idea why it wont let me export books. Thanks for testing on your end though!

Did you maybe download one already recently? I think there is a time limit for when it allows you to download again.

all the others work, just not the user books one

There does indeed seem to be a bug here for you, interesting. I will try to investigate tomorrow.

I wanted to add the Tintin series to natively Korean (since I just bought the Korean version of one of them) but how would that be categorized? It’s a comic, so not really a manhwa nor a children’s book.

만화 just means “comic”, not specifically comics created in Korea - Tintin(땡땡) is just 만화 from Belgium:

땡땡의 모험은 벨기에 만화가 에르제가 만든 만화 시리즈

I think tags would be the way to go if you wanted to separate foreign content from Korean content.

Oh, I guess I just make a mental distinction between comic and 만화, but that makes sense. Thanks!
