Next week, Amazon is stripping away your ability to download your ebooks.

True, though such services are in the extreme minority at this point.

The Kindle app needs to be a specific version, and sadly the one needed for MacOS to grab the by Calibre dedrm-able files from Kindle doesn't work anymore.

As a rule I don't announce my trackers publicly so they can continue existing as my trackers, but the one I use mostly is small-rodent themed.
I'll DM you

Sounds to me like Amazon is reducing the value proposition of their product. For me, additional roadblocks to being able to enjoy something they way I want when I have paid for it reduces the value of the product itself.
For example, if a DRM free book in an standards compatible format costs $20, then the DRM version I can still download for offline viewing is worth $10. The DRM version I can't download is now worth more like $1-$5 depending on how badly I would want to read it while still supporting the author.
And yes, ebooks from the major sellers aren't worth much to me and I rarely rent (because you're not really buying) them.

I'm a flight instructor, so...yes.

Straight up theft. In a more functional government, there would be an agency with real teeth that you could report them to for that kind of behavior, with something other than fines-as-the-cost-of-doing-business.
