Amazon playing silly buggers

+

2025-03-21

+

I've dropped my Kindle for a Kobo

+

+

I downloaded all my purchased books, around 500, before Amazon terminated the possibility. 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.

+

Enough of this.

+

Using Calibre I created a library that can be read on any ebook reader, and purchased a Kobo Clara colour.

+

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.

+

** 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.

+

That said, I've read nearly all of Michael Connelly's books but some of +his ebooks on Google or Kobo are country restricted. For example I' unable to purchase the +full series of the Jack Macevoy series because I'm in France. WTF? All this +does is tell me to get a book from another author. Get a clue guys!
