Even though it says "purchase" on their site in reality they are now selling you a license, and only allowing books to be read on Kindles.<p> +<p>Enough of this.</p> +<p>Using Calibre I created a library that can be read on any ebook reader, and purchased a Kobo Clara colour.<p> +<p>Now I'm as happy as a pig in muck. Oh and Amazon, I won't be buying books from you any more. There's more than enough alternative sources.</p> +<p>** I love Glynn Stewarts science fiction stories, but most of his work is +published on Amazon. The solution was simple, I subscribed to Glynn's Patreon account and +receive advanced copies of his books that I can read on any reader.</p> +<p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/glynnstewart">https://www.patreon.com/glynnstewart</a></p> +<p>That said, I've read nearly all of Michael Connelly's books but some of +his ebooks on Google or Kobo are country restricted.
