Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands.
-
library genesis exists, people.
anna's archive?
-
I have never more strongly considered a subscription to annas archive than when that new dropped.
-
Its also available as an app on all android based e-readers.
-
..and for those on Linux there is 'DeGouru', a tool for de-DRMing internet archive books that are lending-restricted.
A bit annoying in that it is somewhat sensitive to the Python version one has installed but there are ways to manage that which I am not qualified to advise on.
-
Overdrive's being phased out and being replaced by Libby according to the 2 libraries I frequent. I wonder if it will still be supported on Kobo OS once the website and apps are shut down?
-
You literally just said the two things I wished Kindle allowed me to do natively.
I hate the fact my Kindle store books will bundle by series, but my non-kindle books will not.
-
I heard there are ways to jailbreak all Kindles...
-
Nope. Mine has never connected to the www
-
According to their site and a couple others, they have recently started selling again and with what looks to be some variant of Debian on it.

Quick shout out to oceanofpdf
-
My solution was to just redownload all my books from z-lib after I bought them already.
-
A lot of books money goes to not rich people though
-
How would that help here? The only thing Amazon is removing is the ability to download your purchased eBooks to your PC.
-
Repeat after me!.... En-shit-ti-fication!
-
It helps because you regain that feature when you jailbreak...
-
And I have a bigger reader, since most of my library are pdf/djvu scans and they'd look unreadable on a screen any smaller.
-
Itβs a good piece of hardware. I do the same thing. Although I recently got a Kobo and I gotta say that I do prefer the kobo slightly better. Kindle is still good shit though
-
The files now use a different kind of DRM that hasn't been defeated yet.
The purpose of using the soon to be removed feature was to get files with an older encryption that can be easily removed
-
if you can afford it, wire the author the 50 bucks or so for the book, and explain why you did it. most of them will be thrilled to get the full 50 for the book, i bet.
if you can't, well they wouldnt have gotten any money anyway.
-
Well, you should not use Amazon anything. Valuable lesson learned.
