Great incentive to get around to finally jailbreak them, it's actually really easy.

Since last year Amazon doesn’t let you download your books as files from the web anymore. You have to sync purchases to a (presumably supported) Kindle device. I have a jailbroken Kindle and was shocked at the added hoops to read a legally purchased book.

Obviously the solution is to stop supporting Amazon. Some authors unfortunately only sell ebooks there.

Yep. I moved off Kindle onto kobo several years ago. I would still buy books on Amazon if they were only available there, and used dedrm to move them to the kobo. That doesn't seem possible anymore, so I guess I just won't buy anything from Amazon now.

Great incentive to never buy a device you don't get to own and never pay for "libraries" where you don't get the durable files.
