I take wildlife shots but mainly for the record, which I post on iNaturalist. On occasion, I do need to see 'slightly into the future' for some shots, like predicting where birds and flying insects might be when I'm tracking them for shots. (This can be hard for pollinating insects flying from flower to flower.)

An article that brings back memories for me, since I worked at Creative Technology (the Singapore HQ) from the CD-ROM days until recently. :-)

I was also one of the people who worked on the Nomad II MP3 player.

I still use OSMAnd because it can take photos (with GPS coordinates) at waypoints while recording a track.

I use this to take photos of images from my DSLR while on nature walks.

I later download the waypoint photos and upload it to iNaturalist to get the location information I need to link the location to my higher resolution camera images.

More reliable than linking my camera to my phone (via Bluetooth) to record the location info.

It doesn't look like it can be used to track and cross-reference short stories.

Short stories can be stand-alone (web based), found in an anthology, a book collection or published in a magazine.

What would be nice is a tool to track where I read a short story (in anthology A, for example), and where the story can be found, which may be in more than one place (in magazine B, collection C, on-line, etc.).

This is, unfortunately, also not supported in many other book sites like Goodreads, etc.

Check out this list of DRM-free bookstores, maintained by Libreture [1].

I usully buy my DRM-free ebooks from Weightless Books [2], and also subscribe to "The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction" and "Interzone" from that site.

I do. I'm using a Microsoft Surface Go for reading using multiple apps at the moment:

- Freda for ebooks

- Latermark for articles stored using Pocket

- Libby for ebooks borrowed from my local library

- SumatraPDF for PDF documents and CBZ comics

The tablet form factor lets me read while in bed and, as long as I occasionally pay attention to my surroundings, while walking.

My reflex is to go the Quote Investigator first whenever I see a quote I would like to share. If I don't find it there, then I rather not reshare it.

Yes, the site doesn't cover all quotes. But the large number of mis-attributed quotes I've seen shared has made me conservative in what quotes I reshare.
