Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. (www.howtogeek.com)

On February 26th, Kindle customers will lose the ability to download eBook purchases directly to their PC. If you want to switch to a rival eReader brand in the future, I suggest that you use the soon-to-be discontinued "Download and Transfer via USB" feature to archive your Kindle library.

This is why I never once purchased a book from Amazon even though I have a Kindle.

Pretty pumped to jailbreak it with the new jailbreak.

I'll be done with audible the moment I stop being able to liberate and archive what I pay for.

Until then, they're helping me build my audiobookshelf
