I think it was 10? years ago when I grudgingly tried a kindle because it was so ridiculously cheap and the people around me loved theirs.

The Kindle was an Ad bomb. After engaging internet only, no TV, no ads, since, 2003? (Whenever xfiles, Buffy, DS9, and Firefly were done.) The kindle hit like a sledgehammer with the native ads system. I returned the failed tablet to Amazon.

I don’t know how people live with that level of ad consumption and I grew up with TV commercials. Libby on iPad mini. It’s fine.

I feel like nothing is impossible.

Impossible? So cameras and OCR don't work anymore?

If a human can see it, it can be pirated

It’s a weird concept that you buy a device and then have to find an exploit that hasn’t been patched in order to do what you like with it as though you’re a hacker trying to breach someone else’s system, but it’s actually your own system you’re trying to breach.

Authors would be foolish to publish on Amazon. Guarantees your book will be forgotten.
