And I suppose they also trust none of their books will be removed by amazon, despite evidence in contrary that Amazon sometimes does that.
Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books

So I sent this to my parents, as they’ve spent hundreds, if not thousands on their Kindle books.
They don’t really care. Zero interest in DRM-free backups that I can make them. They don’t think it’s an issue. They trust Amazon to not mess with their books, and that they’ll always have access to wifi and kindles.

It is not like they want to. It is the legal wars that ruin it.

Indeed.
I even sent them the related news articles about content I’ve had removed from my own devices, and still they don’t seem to care in the least.

Check their libraries for their favourite authors. Get them a Kobo. Load it up with their favourite author’s bodies of work before giving it to them. Problem solved.

I thought showing off my own kobo and library of books that I can let anyone I want read would convince them.
Nope.
Oh well

You gotta actually break the procurement cycle where they receive books free to own themselves and it’s not some janky copy before they realise this way is better
