    • When support ends, you cannot download any of your purchases.
    • If you factory reset your device, it will not work. Literally, this is what Amazon said. You will not be able to use your device if you ever need to factory reset it.
    • The only thing you can do is read the books you already downloaded.

    It’s perfectly fine to no longer make updates for legacy hardware. But to prevent users from downloading the books they paid for is absurd. Ebooks are just fancy packaged HTML files. No reason Amazon should prevent you from downloading them.

    The average consumer is screwed and will buy a new device. The more technical users will just jailbreak it. Regardless, this will create lots of ewaste as the average consumer is far from technical.

    Barely accomplish a thing?

    What are you talking about?! Didn’t you see that the Dow was over 50,000 for a time period? Why are you laughing?

    Trump was also gifted a glorious jumbo jet that we are using as Air Force One for the remainder of his term! And afterward, they said (on record by the way) it will be donated to the Trump Library! That’s how much they respect us!

    And also, we ended the Iran war that they started! Look what they made us do to them! And we got— uh… what did we get again for winning? Anyway, we won and the straight thingie, the thing that we need to open? Hormel reopened (and they’re great by the way), where we put the oil is now ready to oil for us less price gas for all Americans now hence. We’re winning for days, so the Catholic Church needs to pick a side - and from my point of view, the Jedi are evil!
