    There are so, so many better ebook readers to choose from. Honestly just a phone with an oled screen is better than kindle.

      Kindles are pretty decent ereaders if you don’t connect them to amazon’s ecosystem and just keep them in airplane mode. And unlike phones, they can hold a charge after a few years.

    What does this mean? What prevents me from OCRing the pages on a video that quickly goes through it?

      You are making a common mistake of being too literal!

        Well yeah, but fearmongering about text DRM is just annoying to see. There are many battles to fight, and epub extraction from a Kindle is very low on the priority list

    Authors would be foolish to publish on Amazon. Guarantees your book will be forgotten.
