I get my books for my used Kindle off Libby because I have no expectation of ownership and I don't want to give Amazon the satisfaction of my money.

Surprised Pikachu face

This is why I almost never get any Digital Book. The only digital books I have are books that were free either originally or through a giveaway, or that were severely discounted and I already owned physically. That's also why I don't buy movies or TV series digitally. You're just renting these things, and you're only renting them when you have an internet connection.

I’m guessing audible will follow soon after.

Well fuck... Guess i'll need too look at what is available for ebook downloads i my arr stack to get books for my kobo.

The kobo store is mostly useless, and there are limited options available for buying ebooks here, so amazon has been the best option for likely finding what i was looking for.

This won’t stop users from removing DRM. There will always be a way to own your e-books.

Iquit on Kindle a few years ago. The publicationsI read, like Asimov’s Sci Fi, no longer publish via Kindle. I use Book Funnel, Kobo, Pocket Book and store books on my desktop’s drive.

did that a couple of days ago thankfully. goodbye amazon, you were never loved.

I noticed this feature wasn’t available for my Colorsoft and asked support about it. They assured me it would be added later. This is exactly what I expected to happen.

I’m waiting for them to get rid of the send-to-kindle email thing to receive books from calibre. I’m surprised it has survived for this long. I’ve wanted to try out a kobo but can’t justify it cause my 10+ year old kindle still works perfectly fine for reading. But once they remove that feature or drop support for my device, it’s kobo time.

I literally just installed caliber recently. Are they following my every move or something? Trying desperately to prevent other "near techky" people from leaving the market place?
