I know it's not the best attitude, but if this ever happened to me I would simply pirate all the books I'd purchased from amazon, side load them onto my kindle and keep reading guilt free.
A part of me would like to dump amazon due to stories like this, but at the end of the day the whole set up is just too convenient (I can find, 'buy', and start reading a book in less than a minute directly from my kindle)
The worst part is that attitudes like mine are probably a big part of the reason Amazon will continue to get away with this. The even worse part is that I just don't care enough to do anything about it.
I wonder how many others there are like me who should know better, but enjoy the convenience too much?
- MrMember 14y agoWe all make concessions for something (unless you're rms). I refuse to buy DRM laden ebooks, yet I've spent thousands of dollars on Steam games. I don't mind the inconveniences of using paper books but when it comes to PC games Steam is just to convenient for me to ignore. I know I could lose access to hundreds of games suddenly and without warning, yet I continue to give Valve my business.
- imgabe 14y agoI'm in the same boat. My plan is to continue using Amazon, but remove the DRM from everything I buy and keep a backup copy.
