    Amazon will cease the ability to download and transfer options for the Kindle e-reader on February 26th, 2025. No Kindle can use this functionality once the due date rolls around. Only the 12th generation Kindles never had this ability to begin with, but now no other model will either. Why is Amazon doing this? It’s a feature not many people use and those who do, commit e-book piracy.

    Or, you know, a feature people could use to transfer their data to their device without having to prove the rights to store and read it.

    Very glad I didn’t get a kindle suddenly.

    If anyone is in the market for an e-reader I can strongly recommend the Meebook m7.

      Does it integrate with local libraries? How do you acquire content to read, is there a non kindle store available?
