It's not "other than Kobo", though; it's Kindle specifically (and only with ePub, it takes PDFs). The other devices will happily take both PDF and ePub. As for Kindle... for most users Send to Kindle is going to be more

Most readers only buy books from their device’s store, so they don’t need to worry about sideloading. And then once they’ve done so, they are hesitant to switch because it’s hard or impossible to extract yourself from Amazon or B&N or A

On the app stores, you can redownload purchases at any time. With a PWA you’re dependent on the vendor still supporting the app.

The chartered buses are no longer included either. Now they’re a separate purchase from the company Disney used to contract with.

I wouldn't call the city asking for the writer to agree to a warrantless search "acting in very good faith".

1099-anything, by definition, doesn't come from an employer. They're for other sources of income (brokerage sales, interest, etc.). The US would need to vastly simply the tax code - remove all the various tax breaks for dependents

The reliability under day-to-day usage is higher, but the costs of repairs for issues under ordinary use are borne by the owner. Insurance is only concerned with the repair costs for catastrophic accidents, which involve far more than just
