A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

For anyone affected, just download books from annas archive, convert to your format using calibre or any other tool, copy via usb and be happy. You don't need amazon and I'd argue that you don't even have to use amazon as well.
Anna's Archive is the correct answer for the ebook source - an amazing resource.
Me personally, I ditched Kindle for a PocketBook years ago. Founded in Kiev, moved it's HQ to Switzerland, all their models are based on a Yocto Linux platform with the default file format being epub. Highly recommended!
