This is simply evil. Amazon isn't the only seller of e-books, and they have no business stripping book covers off titles you've added from elsewhere. 😡 #Kindle

Amazon bringt clevere Neuerung für Kindle: Seiten umblättern durch Doppeltippen auf Geräterückseite. Reduziert Fingerabdrücke auf dem Display. #Kindle #Amazon https://winfuture.de/news,149888.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

I'm a #poet of 6 books, selling on #amazon and #kindle. My books work on war and the pain we endured. My poems and prose are inspired by the anguish of #Palestine and how I have connected #PTSD of a few traumas due to what I've experienced.

Sometimes you have to wonder whether the Gruaniad are being paid for these advertorials 🤣

Just joking folks, of course they are. That is why they won't tell you about the way that Amazon will control the hardware and the books you have leased (not bought) from them. Then they will screw you ro0yally.

Stay sensible, better hardware better software, available elsewhere.

Auf geht’s - zum ersten Mal ein #eBook nicht bei Amazon sondern bei beam-shop.de gekauft - läuft bisher problemlos. Hat da jemand Erfahrung mit dem Shop bzw. gibt es bessere Alternativen? #kindle #epub #lesen

PSA: There seems to be a host of stable #kindle #jailbreak s out there. If you, like me, have an older Kindle lying around, don't let it connect to Amazon for the latest firmware updates. Instead, head over to https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/kindle-models.html and follow the instructions.

Only took a few minutes in my case :3

Fun Things to do with a locked Kindle E-Reader.

Amazon's Kindle e-readers just got a bit less useful, but help is at hand, from jailbreaking to making one of the devices into a monitor. The latest change to the copy-protection measures in the Kindle range, which Amazon made on February 26, has fans of electronic books concerned.

Yes, that also applies for everything you annotate. And everything you write on your #Kindle Scribe. #Amazon #Enshittification #AuthorRights #IntellectualProperty

TIL: Whatever #ebooks or documents you put on a #Kindle, they're being indexed & uploaded automatically to the #Amazon server if the device has an internet connection. Just found out with an unpublished #manuscript that someone wanted to read on their Kindle and it ended up on the Amazon server, although it was put onto the Kindle manually via cable. Whatever you do with Amazon devices, you're adding everything to Amazon's data collection. #Enshittification #AuthorRights #IntellectualProperty

New blog post is up!

#Amazon streicht Download-Funktion für #Kindle-Bücher: Ab 26. Februar 2025 keine lokale Speicherung mehr möglich. Nutzer können E-Books nur noch über WLAN auf ihre Geräte laden. https://winfuture.de/news,149100.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

Folks who break the DRM on their #Kindle books, this is going to make that a lot harder: https://nsinteger.com/@zacwest/113991537960396621

This is fine for those of us who don't buy from Amazon anymore, but if you have a standing library with them, make sure you get it all downloaded so you can break it. It's frustrating because you can't bulk download - I keep finding titles I own but missed grabbing somehow - but you have until Feb 26th to get them all.

ist es möglich #Tolino und etwa #Kindle in #Calibre einzubinden?
Oder gibt es andere #EBookReader welche mehrere Online Bibliotheken Einbinden können?

I have a #Kindle Paperwhite 2 bought 8-9 years ago. Works perfectly with #Calibre, including Amazon's Whispersync. Use it almost daily, still in tip top shape. Most of my library is in .mobi format. Great piece of hardware, has served me well.
