I love that book. Is full of lessons that seam aimed to kids but are even more important for adults to be remembered from time to time.

Having a slow day, I found myself dumbscrolling Youtube Shorts and found something actually interesting.

That was an unusual mechanical game! I have to know more. I quickly found the original creator Tim Hunkin and his Youtube channel, a hidden gem by itself.

https://www.youtube.com/@timhunkin1/videos

Featured his own video of the Divorce arcade machine.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUe5FGIcYq8

with a blog post about the making of the machine, way more interesting than just play the game.

And some 'grisly themed' (as he said) machines like the PET OR MEAT machine

Apparently inspired in some very old machines depicting executions for a coin. I'm still getting into this rabbit hole.

HN is up again 4 years ago

HN is so reliable that I distrusted my wife first.

"Did you unplug the router?"

Tagging/highlighting cross my mind but I did want to keep this project as simple as possible. Tagging could be possible if I include a sqlite database but I don't think highlighting is possible in the Kindle web browser.

Outside of this project you can get tagging with TagSpaces[1] desktop app and highlighting with the SingleFile[2] web-extension.

I wonder if/how they'd work on a non-Amazon e-reader?

If the e-reader have a web browser it would work without problems, maybe adjusting css properties a bit.

I'm not paying > $40 to read a single book over the course of multiple months

Me neither. Maybe I would buy the book in a presale, but that's it. This kind of selling just work for early adopters, the kind of people who stand in line for hours to buy a new product.
