Poor wording on my part, they're removing the ability to download books directly from Amazon to your computer. You can still transfer books via USB using Calibre.

Hers's an article from The Verge with more info. My apologies.

Ok I get it now, putting more restrictions even when "piracy" makes life easier for the users huh? That is a move.

@kratoz29 @LiveLM it's the opposite of a competitive market making life easier and more convenient for customers: a race to the bottom, a struggle to create maximum difficulty and hassle at ever-increasing prices.

if the public wants public culture, the public must be prepared to invest in public culture, and that likely implies some form of collective action such as (progressive) taxes or levies. but conversely, the outcomes of that investment must then also be truly public culture with no hassle or punitive action.
