Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands.
Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands.
On February 26th, Kindle customers will lose the ability to download eBook purchases directly to their PC. If you want to switch to a rival eReader brand in the future, I suggest that you use the soon-to-be discontinued "Download and Transfer via USB" feature to archive your Kindle library.

I am sorry, what?
Turn on PC or phone. Download ebook from torrent site. Enjoy.
It's not difficult to switch?
Try explaining how to do that to your non-techie relatives, especially the older ones who like reading. Yes, this makes is more difficult to switch.
At least my non-techy relatives don't even know that what they're doing is called "pirating", lol. For them, it is just "getting media".
I only learned that some people paid for digital media when I became fluent in English and got exposed to American social media.
Oddly enough, pirated ebooks are a malware minefield. And hard to find.
That said, I have about 8000.
Where are you going to that they are a malware issue?
Any torrent site and 'free ebook' download site is a minefield.
I don't do it anymore for that reason.
I'm aware of the 'safe' alternatives, but I've found buying books means I'll actually read them.
Why don’t you use library genesis or Anna‘s archive?
Library Genesis is down. Maybe for good
Undernet and #bookz for me somehow turned out to be easier than more popular styles of piracy.
Is bookz a channel in undernet?
yes
Balller, thanks. I've been enjoying IRCHighway and the ebooks channel.
#bookz is fantastic!
