Still working slowly through King. Loving the Sense & Sensibility adaptation. Starting the audio today. Hope to start Margo today, too. On the Calculation is the only Booker International Longlist book my library has and I‘m trying not to buy new books. The Women‘s Prize Longlist drops the 4th and it may change all of the above 😂

Hooked_on_books I loved On the Calculation. I found it absolutely fascinating. 1w

Amazon.com: Get Big Fast | Robert Spector

I saw this ad on Facebook today. Normally, I would be so excited to buy ebooks from Amazon but now, I‘m rethinking buying any digital books. It makes me not want to hoard my ebooks or audiobooks anymore since I‘m only purchasing a license to read them. I like digital books though. I don‘t have to worry about finding space for them or deciding what to do with them after reading them. All I have to do is just delete them off of my phone.

dabbe If it makes you feel a wee bit better, I have had my digital Kindle books for years, and not one of them has disappeared or been taken away. If a new edition comes out, it will update to that, but I love that--especially with nonfiction. 2w

Here‘s more from that post I saw today from a Facebook page I follow called Dog And A Book talking about Amazon‘s new change. I don‘t want to pirate books and I don‘t want to hurt authors. I downloaded my ebooks to my computer because I was worried about losing them. I thought I was doing the right thing saving them to my computer and just keeping them on my computer because if I lose my ebooks then I won‘t have any way to get them back.

Deblovestoread I think the problem is we weren't told we were only buying a license. I believe I bought a copy of a book as it was published, not just a right to read said book, which Amazon claims it has the right to change its content. I won't be buying any more kindle books and will be carefully considering future ebook purchases if i buy a new reader. 2w

I follow a page on Facebook called Dog And A Book and she posted about Amazon‘s new change where Amazon isn‘t going to allow people to download books to their computer anymore and here‘s a few things she said about it. I wish I would‘ve seen her post about it before I downloaded my ebooks to my computer. I‘m still trying to process the fact that for years since owning a Kindle that I‘ve never actually owned my ebooks.

dabbe If you can writer this FB back, I would say something like, “Then if I only own the right to read it, why does it COST MORE THAN AN ACTUAL BOOK? I can buy a physical copy of a book, xerox the pages and then distribute them or post on Scribd for a LOT LESS MONEY than it takes to purchase the right to read an e-book. Who's responsible for the high e-book costs? The author or Amazon? Whomever he/she/it is, they are HORRID.“ #mytwocents 2w

I just finished adding the Kindle files into a folder on my computer I created just for books and it didn‘t take me very long to do at all because I just selected all the files at once and moved them to the books folder. Now that they‘re on my computer, I could move them to another e-reader or just keep them on my computer. I would recommend downloading your ebooks from Amazon while you can because on Feb 26, you won‘t be able to.

Bookwormjillk Did they take up a lot of space? 3w

kelli7990 @Bookwormjillk No. I still have a lot of storage space on my computer. 3w

dabbe Can you read them? I downloaded a few, too, and they are all AZW3 files with DRM protection. I can't open them from my computer to read them, nor can I with the Calibre app. I can't convert the AZW3 to PDF either--not even with the plug-in DEDRM, which is no longer supported. Are you able to read these books from your computer, and if, so, how? 2w

kelli7990 @dabbe I haven‘t tried using Calibre yet since it was 4:00 in the morning when I finished downloading my books and I hadn‘t gone to bed yet. I downloaded the Kindle for PC app. I opened one of the files and it opened in the Kindle for PC app to read so I guess if I wanted to read on my computer, I could. 2w

dabbe @kelli7990 That's an excellent idea. I'll look at my Kindle for Mac app. 🤗 2w
