I learned about it via an ad on my Kindle lock screen. One of the only ads I can remember that led me to a purchase. Great book!

  I wish I could somehow obscure your comment from everyone at Amazon. I use an e-ink tablet, Android stock, due to eye strain. The kindle app is such a bloated pile of ad laden junk, it is barely usable. Not only that, but it won't let me get rid of whitespacing around the text, and more, eating tonnes of real estate. Meanwhile, every other app, eg moon reader, etc, is fast and slick. Impressive, Amazon! I buy what I can elsewhere, due to this, but sometimes have no choice... and I imagine losing a few sales is offset by more buy in due to the horrid ads?

    Why do you have to use the kindle app? Because of books in azw format? If you use calibre you can convert it to other formats.

      Newer kindle formats require all sorts of work, and constantly change. I also need to keep a window vm around, it is as annoying as the kindle app. Thanks for the mention though, and I know calibre is quite convenient for some.

        I run calibre on mint.. VM for the kindle app?
        • bbarnett 5y ago
          Yes, I've not seen docs pointing to any other way...
