Wait, you guys were buying books from Amazon?
Yeah, some of us made that miskate years ago. I can transfer mp3 just fine, why can't I transfer a book file too? Lots of people entire book libraries are being held hostage by Amazon.
DRM ripping was a pain, I used some sketch program that had only worked with a specific old version of Kindle for PC to turn all my books into ebubs.
I love my kindle, but not buying books from Amazon anymore and next ereader won't be kindle.
Fun unrelated fact, kindle unlimited books could also be downloaded for USB transfer.
Yeah it is strange. I have bought mp3s on Amazon and downloaded the DRM free mp3 to listen to on my preferred player of choice. But, why is the stance on books different?
