- Comment on YSK that Amazon has different prices for different people 1 year ago:
Can OP (or anyone) provide a legitimate source for this?
From what I can find, Amazon and its partners do dynamic pricing (based on various algorithms) but I can find no evidence / source that it does personalized individualized pricing.
IOW, dynamic pricing is not done at the individual shopper level, but can be based on many variables like lightning deals, sudden spikes in demand, inventory issues (over supply / under supply) and various other factors which are not related to the individual shopper.
Anecdotal evidence is interesting, but not persuasive.

I’m never leaving the house again. I mean, I kind of wanted to do that anyway, but this is the excuse I needed.

The DeDrm plugin and the most recent Calibre worked for me just yesterday on a brand new book. Something that’s easy to miss is that you need to put in the serial number of your kindle device and make sure you download the e-book for that same device. Otherwise the plugin won’t be able to decrypt it.

It’s a really nice app. Very customizable.

I’m glad you mentioned airplane mode. I noticed something interesting about my Kindle after I set up a Pi Hole on my home network. The kindle would constantly try to connect to the Amazon mothership. Because the Pi Hole was blocking it, it would try it over and over again and this quickly depleted the batteries (maybe trying to boost it’s WiFi signal? I’m not sure). Putting it into Airplane mode helps preserve battery life noticeably, back to what it was before I installed the Pi Hole.

Yup, making a DRM-free backup somewhere is the only way to protect the content you paid for from the whims of the overlords.
