It's not an accident that I download epubs and read them on Moon+.
Amazon signaled clearly years ago that their goal wasn't to make a convenient ebook reader, but to create an entire proprietary e-reading system designed solely to extract as much money as possible for as little value as possible. And this is just another step in that ongoing process.
It's not just Amazon. Libraries (and Libby, the app they use) are also making it difficult to do anything but read in a browser or use Kindle.
Overdrive (which is Libby) integrates directly into the Kobo OS so you can borrow books directly on the device instead of the roundabout way you have to do it on the Kindle.
Already been doing this, but I think this will finally light the fire under my ass to move to a boox device for all my reading I've got the big boox, which I use for sheet music, and quite like it, so the smaller ones are no brainers
i buy most ebooks from a small local bookstore. for the rest there's still zlib
Are you buying ebooks in a physical store? How does that work?
Wait, people who have Kindles buy their books from Amazon?
I always just got mine from a certain private mouse tracker.
I've been downloading my books but most of them are DRM so I can't read them on anything BUT a Kindle. I've been thinking about getting another e-reader but I fear I'm trapped.
