My Kindles hit Ebay a few hours ago. I'm out of the Amazon digital ecosystem.
- codewright 14y agoWhat are you replacing them with?
- brador 14y agoI was already splitting my ebook purchasing between the Apple bookstore and Amazon. From this point, ebook purchases will be through Apple or a purchase of the real book. I kinda miss the feel of a real book too so that's a nice change. If I need a digital copy, and it's Amazon exclusive, then I'll be using "other sources".
- alex_c 14y agoOut of curiosity (I haven't purchased ebooks from either source), what makes Apple more reliable than Amazon?
- codewright 14y agoI'm a little dubious too, but Amazon has a track record of doing things like this (The Animal Farm/1984 fiasco), whereas Apple seems to respect that they've sold their customer something.
- brador 14y agoThey have yet to pull a stunt like this. As far as I'm aware, they are unable to remotely modify Apple devices. Until proven otherwise, I trust them.
