I’ve had a Kindle since the very first model. I’ve bought 380 books for it, so probably like $3000.
This recent shift by Amazon ends that. I’m buying a Kobo reader and I’ll be buying all my ebooks from bookshop.org as soon as they launch their (promised) Kobo integration.
I understand this may have been how things worked all along, but Amazon making visible changes to reduce my feeling of ownership of my ebooks is a sign of bad things to come and I won’t support it.
I already downloaded and de-DRMed my whole Kindle library this week. Took an hour, well worth it.
