But the biggest issue with Kindle is the vendor lock-in and the books don't even belong to you. There were many cases of Amazon deleting books with no refunds. That's why I am not getting any Kindle ever again.

I've owned several Kindles, and haven't bought a single ebook from Amazon.

  • My public library books are DRMed with Adobe and officially you're supposed to read them on your phone lol. But it is easy to convert them.

    • What's the point of getting a DRMed e-book from a library, and then converting it? You are not supporting the author, you are not supporting the library, and you are not even being a good boy, legally. (You also typically get worse files than you'd get through other means)
