Calibre Android client (audio & video)

Hello people, I need to ask the swarm intelligence for some suggestions for my problem:

I am hosting my eBooks and some downloaded research papers (best idea ever btw) on a calibre instance at home. My gf loves to listen to audio books and it seems like calibre has support for them as well (did not test that yet). Now I need an Android app, preferably open-source, that can connect to calibre and pull and play audio books and ideally also ebooks in case she wants to read. For me, KOReader does a decent job but the audio book part is sth I was unable to solve so far. Does somebody have a similar use case and solution? Thanks in advance!

Carburetor and rain

Hi people, I hope someone can answer this or share their experience. Two days ago, I went through a major thunderstorm with my trusty old '95 GSF600, lots of rain and I periodically went through up to 15 cm deep puddles of water. I noticed after a few minutes that my throttle became ineffective at more than 30° throttle turn. "Above" that, the engine started to sound more like a two stroke and did not deliver additional power. My suspicion is that she ran to rich during that period, could that mak sense? After I exited the storm, everything slowly went back to normal and she seems to be running fine ever since.

Questions:

  • Why did this happen? (Engine too cool or air intake too humid?)
  • Am I risking any permanent damage by doing such things?
