No argument here. It is insane to me that if I want content that isn't locked into a particular ecosystem, I have to seek out public domain material or pick from the small subset of books that is sold DRM-free books in an open format. For anything else, money can't buy flexibility. For most books, the only options for digital are accepting the DRM, waiting until copyright expires (good luck with that one), or privateering with out a letter of marque.

Very user-hostile, but very unsurprising.
Kindle hardware can be very nice, but almost every software decision is designed to keep users within their walled garden.
No epub support, no third party app support, no ability to load non-store audio, and now this. What a waste. These things could be so much more useful than they are.
Woof. The logo was always a hint about what they were planning to do to the customers. First the K and the G came for the letter o...and I did nothing because I am not the letter o.
Hahaha! It was a good bet on my part.
You clearly haven't met all of my friends.
Fair point, but I still need a quick way to tell people about upcoming funerals. On the plus side, I'm between the wave of friends' baby photos and the wave of grandbaby photos. Which is nice.
I don't integrate it with anything else, but facebook remains my best option for getting current contact info for anybody from my past. Even after the enshittification, it remains an effective Rolodex. Rolodex...I am old.
My most significant run-in with a genie was in Mario Land 3. After what I did to him, I'd hate clouds too.
Agreed. My old pebble lasts for over a week, not that I use it for much more than an alarm clock/metronome nowadays.
It does those jobs extremely well, though.
I upgraded in place from 39 and didn't experience any hiccups on my M1 MBA. Works fine for me.
Amber pairs very well with retsina.

I saw that, too. I haven't had a lot of headaches with MTP using my Android devices, but I'm always surprised at how there always seems to be a plan to make my devices worse than they already are.
