Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. (www.howtogeek.com)

On February 26th, Kindle customers will lose the ability to download eBook purchases directly to their PC. If you want to switch to a rival eReader brand in the future, I suggest that you use the soon-to-be discontinued "Download and Transfer via USB" feature to archive your Kindle library.

library genesis exists, people. anna's archive, anyone?

digital drm is the one fucking thing they push onto us that we don't actually have to fucking deal with. thanks to our team of ~~rippers and crackers~~ people who hate this system.

leave amazon. leave netflix. leave whatever fucking streaming service you subscribe to, and stop being sensitive about rich people's money.

I have never more strongly considered a subscription to annas archive than when that new dropped.
