Amazon tried to beat Steam, but despite being “250 times bigger,” it still lost
Amazon is killing the feature to download and backup Kindle books. Why would we want a gaming platform that doesn't respect digital ownership?

My Kindle is an ad filled wasteland and I regret buying it.
This is a superb summary. Amazon is engineered to leave you unsatisfied and forever fitfully searching. Edit: I don’t know what I’m talking about when it comes to Kindles. Don’t trust me. Amazon is still anticonsumption enemy #1 though.

Amazon revokes the concept of owning books, can edit books you already bought; PIRACY IS THE ANSWER!
Love Rossmanns core beliefs of fighting for consumer rights, both when it comes to digital goods but especially the right to repair stuff However I don’t have 25 minutes to watch him ramble on and on - dude went off script after less than ten seconds - only to lay out the very VERY basics of what a

To the ones that have cheated while in a relationship, how are you currently feeling, was it worth it?
I don't even need to do that... my ex wife has our daughter on her amazon account... my daughter's kindle decided to show some new purchases a few years ago, among them: "How to win back your ex." LMFAO! There is ZERO chance of that book doing anything positive for her (though it did give me a heart

Bring back 350 pages romance books
Call it the KindleUnlimited factor. Amazon pays self-published authors by number of pages read, ergo more pages. It’s a dumb system. Now a lot of these previously self-published authors are getting acquired by traditional publishing houses but they’ve already gotten used to writing these bloated man

writer, shaun warner, is approached at an empty book signing by a tiktok creator and to his surprise, his mystery novel skyrockets to become a no.1 best seller
Now described as top of the Amazon best seller list. Hell I just went and added this book to my kindle library. I read like a lot a lot. I've read every single day for the last 274 weeks. I don't have money to purchase all the books I wanna read. But it's all included in my amazon subscription. I re

Is it REALLY that hard to give up Amazon?
Living on an island in the South Pacific, some items are practically accessible only through Amazon due to their ability to get very good shipping rates. Getting items from another vendor can be twice as expensive or more. That said, I’m absolutely planning on deleting my Amazon accounts and migrati

E-borrowing exceeds print at Vancouver libraries — can it keep up with the cost?
I use Kindle (Amazon) ebooks and it’s frustrating when a lot of times the ebook is more than the paperback. I think overall the way ebooks work needs to be changed so they aren’t so expensive. Libraries will stop offering so many ebooks if they become cost prohibitive. Same with individuals buying b

Are you team Kindle or Kobo?
Kobo, and I only own a Kindle. 😅 Mine is 10+ years old, and I won't replace it until it breaks. Amazon is just not a good company. I want to support them as little as possible. They are doing some really bad stuff with how you are locked into their store on their devices, you don't really own the co

Amazon driver left this big tote with my packages in it and drove off
You have been blessed by the Amazon tote fairy. That's yours to keep now. I use mine to store kindling. This lets me make a stupid Amazon Kindle joke whenever I start a fire. Amazon boxes are good kindling.
