Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. (www.howtogeek.com)

On February 26th, Kindle customers will lose the ability to download eBook purchases directly to their PC. If you want to switch to a rival eReader brand in the future, I suggest that you use the soon-to-be discontinued "Download and Transfer via USB" feature to archive your Kindle library.

Safety eject option locked until subscription is paid. "911. I have a dildo shoved in my ass and my safety eject subscription ran out. Please help!" you know, it sounds crazy and like this could never happen but I say it's just crazy enough it will happen. Look at who the American president is. That's all the proof you need.
