Annoyed by Apple’s Books.app quoting, trimming and appending an “Excerpt From” when copying a small passage from an #ePub? Did you know ePubs are a collection of #HTML files? 🤓
Open the folder containing the #books.
If you use iCloud, type `open ~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~apple~iBooks/Documents/` in the Terminal.app
Right-click on the book you want to `Show Package Contents` and then open your chapter.html of interest in a regular web browser to copy-paste…
Or read the passage out loud for you through the `Edit > Speech > Start Speaking`.
Active #reading — copying, editing, commenting, structuring our comprehension of the material — is well-researched to stick in your #brain’s neural nets better than passive reading (listening).
What?! No decent #ePUB desktop #ebook reader for #Mac OS X? #Adobe Digital Editions and Stanza are a joke!
