Just what I feared, Amazon is completely taking away the rights to download your ebooks to your computer. I guess I'll be downloading them while I still can and use Calibre to remove the DRM. I think my next ebook reader will be an open source Kobo. #amazonebooks #ebooks #books #amazonclosedsource

It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.
