The new Kindle models don't support any type of sideloading, which also means there's no way to remove the DRM, no way to back up books, and no way to obtain delisted books you've already purchased but haven't backed up. They also don't have any buttons. If you're in the Kindle ecosystem, now is the time to remove all that DRM and get out.

For large ebook stores there's ebooks.com, Nook, and Kobo. There's also several smaller ones.

In terms of devices, Onyx Boox, Pocketbook, Kobo, and the emerging categories of e-note devices like the ReMarkable, and reflective/transflective LCD devices like the Daylight DC-1, all compete with Kindle. The Kindles are still appealing devices with an economic edge, but where the competition is behind it's not far behind, and where it's ahead it's ahead.

Im guessing the "firmware update" is just them updating the encryption key list.

I think to myself, "all my #bluray #disks will be around as long as I keep them safe in their #archive". NOPE! I may loose the #drm keys. Its artifitial disk rot! Im painfully reminded that I also need to keep the (fragile, machanical, hard to buy) blueray player working at all costs. #FUCK_DRM

Das Ende vom Lied?
Ich habe keinen *legalen* Weg gefunden, mein Buch so zu lesen, wie ich das gerne möchte. König Kunde? Abgezockt und digital schlechter gestellt als bei einem gedruckten Buch.

Ach. Ach was. Ich hätte da ja eine Vermutung, woran das liegen könnte.
