Amazon is changing what is written in books

Block chain was ruined by the early adopters.
I really like Tidals algorithm for new music. I struggle to find new music I like so find it immensely helpful and it is much better than spotifys.

The overwhelming majority of my library is actually not digital-native - rather, pdf or djvu scans. I should really contribute to Libgen by scanning some of my library.

Instagram isn't for sex is it?

That's interesting, I'd never heard of that before. I know that people who are aphantasic often still dream with vivid mental images, so, it like they aren't able to access them consciously and maybe the triggers help you in a similar way.

Wait, if you have the old edition on your kindle, do they reach into your kindle and change what is there? Or do they just change the version in the store to the new edition, preferably with a new ISBN, if Kindles have ISBN's?
I remember about the Roald Dahl thing and it seemed pretty clear which edition people would be getting. And some of this stuff (according to another internet poster I mean) may have been intended to keep the books in copyright longer rather than to merely mess with the content. Blyton died in 1968 so her stuff could enter the public domain in the next few decades otherwise. That's nefarious too.
I remember for sure that Huckleberry Finn had the N word. Maybe little kids shouldn't be reading it, I'm cool with that, though I read it as a kid myself. But grown-ups who do read it can deal with an unexpurgated version.

Not directly, but plenty of models are basically trying to get work from rich coomers and what not. On the more extreme levels it gets pretty fucking horrific, if ya want to know how bad it can get look up Instagram models who whore travel to the UAE or Dubai. Mind you you'll probably want to turn Arabia into glass.

Oof
He'd probably like today's politics, it seems fashionable to just lean into anything bad someone says about you.

Agreed. And alternatives exist, like Kobo

Here is a link for some that you can but online though.
Thanks!
When it comes to ebooks, I generally go for Kobo, which seems to be Amazon's stiffest competition, but I definitely prefer to support DRM-free where I can.
