@Nickiquote My current problem: I don't have a e-reader with 100-odd GiB of free storage.
I also need to source a large sticker saying “DON'T PANIC”. Likely red, and with everyone's luck, it will be Comic Sans.
@Nickiquote Looking forward to seeing the illuminated manuscript cover the history of Crazy Frog. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Frog
