Without free and fair competition, companies choose what you can buy, not customers. “Competition is going to have to discipline Amazon,” EFF’s @mitchstoltz told The Washington Post. “Right now, it’s not.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/31/e-book-marketplace-amazon-kindle-kobo/

After Amazon’s Kindle removed my ability to download and back up my own e-books, I went in search of an alternative.

I sent in an account deletion request when they blocked downloads.

@eff @mitchstoltz Wish I could read this, but I refuse to give WaPo anything, even my email address.

As long as you buy useless crap from Amazon, they gain more control of your private life, along with the ability to monitor everything you do and then sell that data to others to make even more money.

Stop the insanity!

Buy real books, not from Amazon, and read them like normal people. Keep your private life private.
